Old Toronto Martial Arts Academy — Martial Arts

We recently enrolled my son at Old Toronto Martial Arts Academy for their weekly kids' martial arts program. He’s been taking classes for about a month now, and I can definitely see improvements in his confidence and focus. The instructor, a patient and energetic guy named Jake, keeps the kids engaged and motivated, which is key for their age group. They work on basic Karate techniques and some self-defense moves, which my son finds thrilling. However, I found the drop-off process a bit chaotic; there were too many parents trying to get in at once, and it felt a bit rushed. Despite that, the small group size means that each child gets plenty of attention. Overall, I’m happy with the experience so far and would recommend it to other parents looking for a structured and supportive environment for their kids.

I enrolled my 6-year-old at Old Toronto Martial Arts Academy for their weekly kids' martial arts class, and overall, it’s been a solid experience. The instructor, Mike, was engaging and patient, which really helped my child feel at ease. They worked on basic techniques in Karate and even had a fun mini-competition at the end of the session, which my child absolutely loved. The small group size meant that Mike could give individual attention, which was great. However, I did find the drop-off a bit chaotic; it was not very organized and a bit stressful to navigate. Despite that, my child is eager to go back each week and has even made a new friend in class. I would recommend this program for anyone looking to get their child involved in martial arts, just be prepared for a somewhat hectic drop-off.
