Fighting Arts Collective — Martial Arts

My son, who is 9 and quite active, has been attending the Fighting Arts Collective martial arts classes in Toronto for about a month now. The instructor, Sarah, is incredibly engaged with the kids, making sure each one is included in the activities. They practice a mix of techniques, and my son particularly enjoyed learning some Muay Thai kicks. The small group size really helps, as he gets more personalized attention, which boosts his confidence. The only downside was the long lines at pickup; it can get a bit chaotic, especially on busy days. Overall, we’re happy with the experience. He comes home excited and eager to show off what he’s learned, which is a win in my book.

My son attended the Fighting Arts Collective's after-school martial arts program in Toronto and had a solid experience. He loved that he was able to learn various styles, particularly Muay Thai, and he came home excited about the kicks he practiced. The instructor, Alex, was very engaging and made sure all the kids felt included, which helped my son, who tends to be a bit shy, to open up and participate more actively. The small group size was a real plus as it allowed for personalized attention. However, I did find that the pickup process could be chaotic at times, with long lines of parents waiting to collect their kids, especially on Tuesdays when the classes were larger. Overall, it was a great introduction to martial arts for him, and I would recommend it with the caveat that parents be prepared for a bit of a wait at the end of class.
