Like many people, my interest in fighting stems from watching UFC with my friends. I did a few karate classes when I was a kid but I didn't have much interest in doing all the forms and kata. I wasn't in the best shape but I always wondered how I would react in a real situation or if I had what it takes to get in the ring. I heard about 'Hayabusa' from a friend who was training there and I decided to check it out. I have to admit that I was initially a bit nervous going, but the woman at the desk made me feel at home. She let me know which classes I could do as a beginner and what equipment I needed. I started with BJJ & boxing. I figured that it's great to be able to out punch someone in a real situation, but you need to know some stuff if the fight hits the ground. The training was challenging at first but I love it. My physique has completely changed and im learning a lot. I can't really say enough good things about my coaches and my training partners. Even the guys who fight professionally show me some things that I can add to my game. My goals for the new year are to compete in jiu-jitsu tournaments and possibly do an amateur boxing fight. Guys here compete all the time, so I know I'll be ready when the time comes. Lots of people are at the gym for different reasons ie) lose weight, self defense etc... but I'm here to test myself. I recommend trying it out! read more

My two year old takes Little Ninjas here on Sunday mornings. It was the only place I could find that had any martial arts classes at her age. Sensei Sherri is really great with the kids, my daughter absolutely loves her. The woman at the front desk when we picked up the gi was also really nice, I didn't catch her name. I was really surprised and impressed with the amount of actual martial arts stuff they do. At this age I assumed it be mostly running around and playing. But they actually do a circuit with skill building stations. Last week they started working on takedowns. There isn't anything cuter than a 2-3 year old "taking down" an adult. On their social media they are constantly posting about the competitions and awards their staff are at. I also witnessed part of an older kid's class and the Sensei was super intense looking. My Husband saw him warming up and said he had good form. I think if you're at a higher level they're an accomplished place to go as well. Everything is very clean and all the equipment looks great. read more

Visited this gym while in Edmonton & found it to be extremely welcoming. Drop in fee was $15 but well worth it. They have very high level instructors in all disciplines although I was there primarily to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). I showed up early & met the instructor who made me feel like one of his students during the class. It is a very friendly atmosphere & I can't say enough good things about the level of instruction. They had quite a few white & blue belts but also a few higher level belts who also helped me with technique. Also some guys that I've seen fight in the UFC were very helpful in showing me technique & luckily rolled lightly with me. Overall it was a great experience & I would recommend the Hayabusa Training Centre to anyone visiting or living in the Edmonton area. read more

Hayabusa is a world class MMA brand and the Hayabusa Training Centre represents just that, a world class facility, with world class instructors in a welcoming world class atmosphere. Everyday that I walk through Hayabusa Training Centre doors, for me is more than MMA experience, it's a life experience, the friendly staff, the technique and knowledge of the trainers, their willingness to go above and beyond to teach, encourage, and take interest in your personal goals. It's always exciting to train there every class; kids, youth, adult, striking, grappling, personal fitness, to train with beginner to high level competitors and have them embrace you as friend, family and teammate. For myself, I don't go to Hayabusa to train, I come home to Hayabusa to train. read more

Hayabusa has everything for everyone in a fitness orientated setting. From kids as young as 5 years old being disciplined in a specific art to adults professionally learning MMA & jiu jitsu, Hayabusa does it all! I enjoy the safe environment and the coaches who take the extra time to get to know the students on a personal basis. The coaches are open to helping students accomplish physical goals that are personal to them, which matters a lot to me. At Hayabusa there's something for everyone: boxing, judo, jiu jitsu, kickboxing, mma, AND personal training for fitness and/or weightlifting.
