2011 - My First Jiu-Jitsu Class
‘‘ Coach - So your last name is BAIN?
Me - er, It’s actually BAINS
Coach - Nope. (writes BAIN on white belt) ’’
…and just like that, BAIN was born. That was in London many years ago. Now in 2026 I live in Montreal. I’m no longer a wide eyed white belt, just a tired and battered blackbelt.
If you want to roll, you can find me at Mizu Montreal chest crushing the blue belts.
Outside of the mats, I have always been an artist. I create new work all the time, and have worked professionally in the animation industry for over 16 years.
If I think the Jiu-jitsu world would like something I’ve created, it’s going to be right here on BAIN.
However, if it’s not jiujitsu related (God forbid), it will be on my personal Instagram here.
Live feed if you want a lil taste:
If you were on the fence about an item and wanted to make sure I’m no Ai slop shop, relax, I’m a real (somewhat lanky) person.
Everything sold here was designed with real intent and passion, wear it with pride knowing you’re supporting an artist who loves the mats just as much as you do.
