Message from the President
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been a lifelong passion of mine since I first began training in 1998. Over the past 25+ years, I have dedicated countless hours developing my skills, training alongside exceptional athletes, and competing at both national and international levels.
In 2013, I was honored to receive my black belt—a significant milestone in any martial artist’s journey. Yet, in many ways, it marked the beginning of a new chapter. Over the years I have come to understand that the learning never ends and that one’s BJJ path will always lead to new challenges and renewed goals.
As the inaugural president of the Saskatchewan Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation, my mission is to help grow and promote the sport throughout the province. A key part of this vision is to formalize tournament and club standards to ensure a safe, inclusive, and fair environment for all practitioners. It is also our priority to guarantee that all members are properly insured and are learning under knowledgeable and certified instructors.
By establishing these standards, we aim to support every participant in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and to further legitimize this incredible sport across Saskatchewan.
Sincerely,
Daryl Sveinson
President, Saskatchewan Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation
