As…read moresomeone with no prior martial arts experience, I thought Giju and the group/class were welcoming, friendly, supportive, and encouraging. Giju seems genuinely invested in helping students succeed at their own pace. The training is challenging enough to push me outside my comfort zone, but not in an intimidating way. The classes keep me wanting to come back even after a tough class, instead of just giving up completely. The class atmosphere feels safe, positive, and supportive, making it an excellent option for beginners who may feel hesitant about starting martial arts. It feels like a comfortable space to learn, a "no-judgement zone"! The studio itself is spacious, filled with natural light, and equipped with plenty of training equipment suitable for various skill levels. There is also ample free parking in the plaza, and the location is easily accessible by transit with nearby bus stops across the studio. Traffic in the area is generally manageable as well (quiet during midday). If you're looking for a martial arts school that balances challenging training with a supportive and welcoming community, I highly recommend Isshindo!

Unfortunately, places like this are becoming more and more scarce, which is pretty ironic…read moreconsidering how many dudes are heading to bars to watch UFC in silly t-shirts that look like they've just had their asses whooped by an 8-year old girl armed with a bejeweller. For countless millennia, our species has survived in part because men have testosterone pumping through their collective veins, enabling them to be aggressive and violent, to hunt for food and to protect their families. Over the past 150 years these qualities have become woefully redundant. Sadly, anger management courses, some sensitivity training and a few yoga classes are a laughable effort towards finding a healthy outlet for these hormonal tendencies which have been hardwired into men for millennia as a means towards ensuring our collective existence. If for no other reason than for providing such an effective outlet for this hardwired aggression which has recently become a hindrance rather than a boon, Kel Lee's deserves 5 stars... ...But wait! There's more! Kel Lee's is one of the most inclusive, accepting, and respectful environments you're ever going to walk into. I have been to all kinds of gyms and fitness clubs and this, after one class of getting to know the people and the environment, is not at all intimidating. The culture is of people who are there to learn and train, no more, no less. Yes, it's mostly men, and they're mostly 24-35, but there is a liberal sprinkling of everyone else you could imagine as well, and everyone is both welcomed and accommodated. However, be warned: this is not a school for the weak, who will be generally culled. This is a competitive school which trains fighters. You will be put into full contact situations probably earlier than you think you will. You will experience pain, and you will receive (minor) injuries. While the doors are open to all, I can see a lot of people after one week or even one class saying, "This is just not for me." If you're looking to come once or twice a week for a little exercise and camaraderie, that's fantastic, but if you're really looking to push yourself, practice serious discipline, blow off a lot of steam, and learn a lot about martial arts and fighting in a safe, serious environment, then welcome.

KICK BUTT!! i have tried various kickboxing styles..formal…read moreand not so formal...i love a good ass whooping but without compromising technique and form... i found this place after countless google searches for a decent dojo that i didnt have to travel an hour to get to. i spoke to Liz on the phone, she set me up on a day that she taught so i could meet her, see the gym and get introduced to the class. all first timers get a complimentary class to try out! pretty sweet. after an hour and a half of intense punching, kicking and whatever form of sweat pouring torture she could emit, we were done.... wow! what a great workout! i was drenched, sore and felt GREAT afterwards! i signed up right after that class. they offer cardio kickboxing for the ones who want to just get a great workout and work a little bit on kickboxing combos and technique.. as well as the formal muay thai kickboxing, pankration and other MMA styles. they have adult classes, classes for beginners and kids too! because of my horrible erratic schedule, i would sometimes not be able to attend for months at a time, all i had to do was call Liz to tell her and she would just keep track of the times im gone for and when i get back, she extends my contract time....i dont have to pay a cent more for this fabulously considerate feature.

Master Kim set the standard and along with his other instructors provided a great mix of discipline, good instruction, and yet somehow made it engaging and fun without lowering the standard. I watched my son and nephews gain confidence, strength, self-control and a discipline that helped to make them strong and self-reliant. My son and I went to black belt together. I've stayed with the school and just last December achieved my 3rd Dan black belt. I'm the oldest student there, but I can say that Taekowndo has taken me out of my comfort zone many times, and that has built my confidence and helped to keep me physically young for my age. I've watched many youngsters grow up in this school and have seen them grow strong, confident and yet respectful. I highly recommend this school to anyone contemplating a traditional martial art!

The instructors here truly care that their students are having fun and enjoying themselves while they are learning. They have they biggest mats space in the lower mainland if not BC, and are kept super clean. I started jiu jitsu and fell in love with the sport, and wanted my young daughter (3 at the time, she's now 4 turning 5)to be able to join with me and have it something we can share. We had attempted to enroll her in another martial arts school in town, but the environment there was not nurturing to her and she hated it. (My worst fear) We switched to ptt Abby 3 weeks ago and I am overjoyed to report that she has a renewed passion and love for the sport, the coaches make her feel like family and keep things fun and light. Teaching her respect and discipline at the same time maintaining a caring demeanor. She went from barely being able to make it through a 30 min class at the other gym, to now she does 2 classes back to back for a total of 90min . She loves training with her friends and begs me after daycare to go to her class. The knowledge my daughter has learned in such little time has also helped her with dealing with a schoolyard bully by herself, and reinforcing her own self confidence. I can't say enough great thing about these guys. World Class instructors in a clean, friendly and welcoming environment. They are always available and having classes in the day and night really helps me maintain training consistently even though I'm a shift worker. Give these guys a trial and you will not be disappoint
