The instructors are absolutely wonderful--so patient, energetic, and truly great with the kids. They do an incredible job of channeling all that little-kid energy into something positive, fun, and engaging. You can tell they really care about each child and creating a supportive environment. We've already seen such a boost in Grace's confidence, and it's been so special to watch. We're so happy we chose this program and would highly recommend it to other families!

I was looking for a way to be active and get back in shape, something that wasn't slow or boring as…read morewell as something that would be useful to know if I ever needed to use it. Having tried a few other Martial Arts before, I wanted to try something different. After doing some online research, I decided to try Krav Maga at Elite Martial Arts. I got started right away and although I was a little intimidated at first, the instructors were (and still are) patient and extremely helpful in the way they conduct classes and run their drills. From the first class I could see why they have such high ratings and why there are always a healthy amount of people in each class. The students are of all ages and come from all walks of life; great blend of everyone here. I find the classes to be very enjoyable and super practical...the Elite conditioning is an intense workout as well; taking this before each Krav Maga class makes me definitely feel a sense of accomplishment once class is finished. Lastly, another bonus is that one day each month there's a free Women's self-defence class. I definitely recommend this school to anyone interested in learning Krav Maga from knowledgeable teachers in a great environment.

Classes are fine. There's usually only one instructor, which isn't enough for fuller classes…read more They'll get a more experienced student to help, but that's not really what you're paying for in these classes. You should think of it more as a fitness class (that's what roughly 40 min of each class is devoted to) that teaches some self-defense techniques rather than a martial arts class, especially since it's located in a gym. Super sketchy when it comes to money though. The instructors will use high pressure sales tactics to get you to buy all the equipment through Dan, the owner, even if you're only interested in classes that don't require/need boxing gloves, thigh guards, etc. Really long lead time to cancel recurring billing (over thirty days) and no flexibility from Dan either. For your money, if you're not in the downtown core (and even if you are and can afford a longer travel time) go somewhere else.

I had an absolutely terrible experience at Action Reaction MMA North York. I honestly cannot stress…read moreenough how terrible the experience was. I would never recommend this gym to anyone, and I would advise anyone currently training there to leave immediately. If you are thinking about joining, never come here. I started there at only 16 years old as a minor, and Fernando Zulick intentionally and illegally forced me to work for 22 straight months without being paid a single penny while I was an employee. I witnessed so many crimes that Fernando Zulick and the gym committed. They illegally had people sleeping inside the facility even though it was not zoned for residential use. Over the years, they had minors, a pregnant woman, and dozens of adults living there in literally life-threatening, rat-infested conditions. They also hosted ACE Jiu Jitsu Pro Cup shows, and I worked at these events. They cooked food out of a rat-infested kitchen with no permits and no legal authority to operate, and they illegally sold this food to the public, including children and women. The people selling this food were on visitor visas illegally working and getting paid illegally low wages. Do not come here ever. If you are there, leave immediately.

From the same instructors, I've seen them effectively engage children while being able to challenge older and more advanced students, often even within the same class. Having taken multiple classes of different levels with the same instructors, I can confidently say that they constantly try to teach us more and implement new methods of teaching. I've been around long enough to see the different dynamics between different mini 'generations' of students; most of which have been incredibly positive. The instructors have been able to foster a welcoming environment, and the students have done well to keep it that way.

I come from an immigration/security/law enforcement background and have lots of training in use of force as well as some martial arts. Before joining this gym I thought I had nothing to learn. Raymond showed me I know nothing. He has a no-nonsense way of training using real-life scenarios as well as demonstrates amazing skill and teaching ability. Even though it is a group class Raymond makes sure he spends time with each student working on his or her skillset. From day one they made us feel safe after we saw all the safety precautions in place for the safety of students. All equipment is clean and ready to use. The training facility is very clean and organized. There is lots of new equipment available for each student at no cost. I would recommend them to all my friends, male, female or even children. Each class is created for its intended, student. Last but on least I have lost 15 pounds in 2 months of training twice a week. Raymond motivates and inspires you to push yourself. Thank you for allowing me to take part in this amazing program

From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The instructors at Ignite Taekwondo are not only highly skilled but also deeply passionate about what they do. They create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel empowered to push themselves to new heights. The classes are well-structured and cater to students of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced. Each session is engaging and dynamic, keeping the students motivated and focused throughout. The instructors pay close attention to each student's progress, providing individualized feedback and guidance to help them reach their full potential. Overall, Ignite Taekwondo has been a game-changer for my son. Not only has he developed strong martial arts skills, but he has also grown as a person, gaining confidence, discipline, and a sense of purpose. I highly recommend Ignite Taekwondo to any parent looking for a top-notch martial arts program for their child. DS.

Had a feeling that these…read moreschools were just McDojo's but I kept being told that any BJJ school would likely change my mind. Fine for me what about my kid? So I tried first. To my surprised the mostly relaxed atmosphere which btw is hard to find in any dojo, was welcome for adult styled training. Prof. Omar Salvosa is what I'd consider a cross between a suffer dude and and a wise old master. He won't give up on a student and he will make sure you don't take short cuts but always ultra positive. I thought I'd come early and take a look at the kids classes. Wow massive and popular too. It didn't take long for me to pull my kid out of taekwondo and into his class. Prof. Omar was born to teach children and coach adults. Legit positive coaching with legit results. Bjj is know to be hard to achieve belts and even with kids Prof. Omar keep them real while enforcing a positive space. Honestly it is hard for me to come up with any negatives.
