5 out of 5 starsI can’t say enough good things about the shop owner Zoe.
I asked questions before ordering which she was happy and fast to answer.
When I realized a week before Christmas there was an issue with the order getting here for Christmas she went above and beyond to help make sure the order was here and to make it right.
Wonderful art, wonderful shop owner and a very happy customer. -

About ArtJiuJitsuLife

Welcome to Art Jiu Jitsu Life! I'm Zoe. Ive been training for 4 years and 10 months! Almost halfway :D

In the absence of consistent training this year, my love for the sport has only grown
Building a Legacy
I met Jiu Jitsu by accident. In early 2016 I had been in Conditioning classes, after over a decade of no sports and zero activity, and felt I had plateaued. I needed something harder to push myself in and that's when I began to notice the people in Jiu Jitsu classes on the other mats--looking exhausted. I said to myself, I want to try that.
My first class I learned a Scissor Sweep and it made me curious, so I came back the next day. And the next, and the next. Curiosity turned to interest, interest to ability, ability into passion, passion to obsession, and obsession into lifestyle.
Educated in Fine Art at NSCAD and ECUAD with a background in Anatomy and Figure Drawing, I went through many stages and phases in my Art but nothing really clicked until I met Jiu Jitsu. In demos I would find myself drifting off to admire a hand gesture, or folds of the Gi thinking, “I should draw that”. One day I snuck in when my new pals were rolling, took some photos and I had no idea that drawing would be the beginning of my new life as an Artist and where it would take me.
Outside of Institutional settings, I have been mentored by amazing people in the arts who have taught me the craft of frame building, canvas stretching, running a studio, online business and marketing. All these folks have had a hand in my development and continue to do so, even if they have passed on.
2020 was a breakthrough year for my small business and I am committed to the growth of my shop for all those who share that same passion for training or have loved ones that do. Drawn to its integrity, grit and energy, Grappling has changed my Art and my Life for the better and I can't imagine pursuing anything else. Training is a mindset, a modality for healing, a place to share our frustrations and accomplishments and it is this holistic experience with a Sport that I seek to express in my paintings and drawings.

* * * *
In regards to International orders, I have created a base price of $12.50 Canadian dollars to cover both handling and shipping expenses.
-----Why the extra cost across seas?-----
I am able to manage absorbing cost from very frequent location customers, US being 1st and Canada 2nd. The less frequent the orders, the higher the costs need to be to manage upkeep and supplies, as they are not--as of now--part of my regular turn-around. That said, I LOVE getting International orders and am working hard to expand my reach so I can bring this cost down.
Please contact me anytime regarding the delivery times of your orders. Holidays can be some of the most delayed areas of arrival even with tracked or expedited items. If you are worried or concerned, feel free to write me regarding anything and depending on your order can give you more detailed information from my experience, and what the next steps are should your item truly be lost or damaged.
2021 updates
-----------------
Canadian orders now are tracked and a postage cost has been enabled upon checkout.
In accordance to current Postal updates removing all and any delivery guarantees throughout the world, I am unable to guarantee delivery to any place, any time, with a solid arrival date. Tracking may suddenly stop for days or weeks without any reason, identification of cause or notice.
Any adjustments to a print are now subject to additional fees for labour and file re-sizing. The item in question will now become a custom order, no matter how small the adjustment and the additional fees will be reflected within the description of the order.

Custom and personalised orders
I am alway open for commissions. All you have to do is message me via Custom Request to get the process started. My pricing is $3.25/square inch for the work. There are additional fees for processing and shipping, all of which I outline in an itemized quote before we begin. If you have no idea where to start, I can offer several price points and sizes and we can go from there. Many people can be unsure of custom work, so send me a note of your idea and Im happy to chat.
Gift wrapping and packaging
As I have grown, my packaging and branding has developed. All work secured between double sided cardboard, wrapped in tissue paper and secured in a Tyvek (weather resistant, recycle friendly) envelope or heavy duty tube.
