A large Asian population means plenty of outlets for the martial arts — Chinese, Japanese, Brazilian, whatever. You’ll find judo, karate, kung fu, kick boxing, jujitsu, aikido, and more. The major provider of clothing and equipment, as well as information on the various arts and studios, is Golden Arrow Martial Arts Supplies (2234 East Hastings Street, East Vancouver, 604-254-6910). If owner Gordon Arsenault doesn’t know, he’ll find out. He also serves the boxing community.
