Silverback Kids Martial Arts — Martial Arts

I enrolled my 6-year-old in Silverback Kids Martial Arts in Calgary, and overall, it has been a positive experience. The class meets weekly, and my child has been learning a mix of Karate and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Instructor Alex has a knack for keeping the kids engaged and making the lessons fun without overwhelming them. I appreciated the small group size, which allowed for more individualized attention. My child built confidence through sparring sessions and was particularly excited about earning a new belt last week. However, the pickup process can get a bit chaotic, especially when multiple classes end at the same time. It’s something to keep in mind if you prefer a smoother transition. Despite this minor annoyance, I feel the emphasis on physical fitness and character development is truly beneficial. I would recommend this program to other parents looking for a supportive and energetic environment for their active kids.

My son, who is 7 and very active, just finished his first month at Silverback Kids Martial Arts in Calgary, and overall, we're quite pleased. The instructors, like Mia, are wonderfully engaging and manage to keep the kids focused while making the classes fun. My son particularly enjoyed learning some basic Karate moves and is excited to show them off at home. The small class size really helped him feel included and supported, which is something we value. However, the parking lot can get a bit chaotic during pick-up time, and we often found ourselves waiting in long lines. That said, the positive impact on his confidence and discipline is worth it. If you're considering martial arts for your child, this program provides a solid foundation.
