Beat the Crap Out of Cancer XIII – YVR Edition
BTCOOC is an armed combatives fund-raising event in its 13th year since its inception in Toronto by Rene “Growling Dog” Cocolo. It runs in multiple cities across the globe in the first (or second) weekend in November.

BTCOOC is an opportunity for stick fighters to participate in a non-competitive sparring event. Each bout is chosen by the participants including who they fight, what implements they use, what level of vigor, and what ancillary rules are to be applied (ex. no grappling or no throwing). A referee ensure that the agreed constraints are observed.
NOTE: Due to C-19 considerations, observers will be limited to protect participants and support team. Please contact btcooc-xiii@maelstromcore.com if you are interested in attending as observer.
This year – 2022 – maelstrom Martial Arts and Academie Duello are combining forces to bring this event forward. Both Southeast Asian and Western members training at Academie Duello are encouraged to participate – as are all others training in the lower mainland and Vancouver Island and nearby regions who are interested to participate.
