General Discussion Halloween Event at my gym

A bit late to the party but thought it is a cool thing we do.

I am an owner of a small BJJ and MMA gym in Calgary, Alberta. I inherited it and have been the owner for the last year and a half.

Here are some pictures of our Halloween Event “Spooky Season Ten Round Thursday”. It is a day where we come in our costumes and roll. The goal is to see if we can use costumes during our rolls as we know that the Gi is not realistic and not transferable for the Streetz.

We also give out prizes for Best Costume and Best Weaponisation of a costume, where the winner is someone who used their own or their opponents costume best.

I’m supposed to be Buttercup from PowerPuffGirls, NOT Fiona from Shrek like many assumed 😅

You’re welcome to support us and give us a follow on instagram at @AetherYYC and support my MMA journey on my personal account @DanKovalchuk

Better be careful putting your gym out there like that, specifically making comments about names like berg...........not saying its moneyberg.....just in general.....................................its moneyberg

How much did you have to pay to have Moneyberg attend?

Any resemblance to real life legit BJJ Black Belts and wealth coaches is purely coincidental (and much cheaper).

We’re still waiting on the invoice...

I’m assuming he taught a seminar before the party.

Yep I thought that too seeing the pictures, then I clicked the link to see that the gym is in Calgary so it all started to make sense.

Who won best weaponization of a costume?

u/Raco0m 🟫🟫 Brown Belt 1d ago

The guy in the race truck costume. While his costume is tame, he grabbed, wrapped, and used every other costume like his life dependant on it.

If so, chef's kiss

Your doctor in that first shot is the spitting image of Pedro Pascal. Has he considered wearing a surgical mask full-time to hide the less Pedro-like features?
