Rafi is by far the best instructor, I've met. Not only does he have the necessary experience and background coming from the IDF (Isrealy Defense Force) but he cares about teaching his customers. He also has a heart of gold. He is great with kids and adults alike. If you sometimes feel scared walking down the street at night, Krav Maga is the martial art for you, if Krav Maga is the art for you then Rafi is the instructor to teach you.

I bought a Groupon for 5 classes for $15. Apparently, if you do back-to-back classes, it only…read morecounts as 1 class, so that's a super deal. Basically 10 hours of group exercise for $15. This place mostly focuses on Krav Maga and conditioning and honestly doesn't look like much from the outside. I hesitated a few times before taking a class a few months ago just because of how it looked. Signage is pretty dim and it's in an industrial building. The inside is ok, but it is lacking a true change room (i.e. no lockers) but they have a washroom. I ended up taking the Adult Foundation class and it was more of a boot camp/cross fit type class with some random punching and kicking in between. It was a great workout however, I wasn't a fan that they asked us to start kicking and punching bags without any proper technique. They might have gone over this in the next class, but I was way too tired to do a class afterwards. Verdict: From the one class I took, it was amazing conditioning, and the instructors and students are friendly. My only recommendation would be to make the class schedule more clear and let people know whether it is a conditioning or technique. I might try it again next year but I definitely would have preferred more focus on technique.

Eldest was a shy apprehensive girl who flat out refused to participate in any activity, until she was warmly greeted by Sensei Mercier at the dojo. The team acknowledges every child upon arrival, and each is supported as they develop leadership and teamwork skills. My youngest started at age three...clingy and always on my leg, but again, Senpai Oswald and Sensai Mercier immediately identified his needs and intervened to make him feel an important part of the karate community. He now prompts us to help him prepare for class, and asks to participate in all events run by the dojo. The staff encourage parental involvement while fostering independence from the children. My son was even invited to participate while his leg as in a cast! He never felt he was less able then the other children... Again because of the individualized attention he received. We are so grateful to the PCAMA for becoming an integral part of our children's lives. Don't hesitate!

I was told each belt takes 3 to 6 months to get . i got as high as orange they told me red would take 9 months they just wanted me sign up for another year. they said there a big step up from orange to red the adult class said there like no difference big jump from blue to purple wonder if they still SCAMMING PEOPLE TODAY!

Do Not enter a long-term contract with these predators!…read more I paid a one-year membership and started training in the gym last Sep. Unfortunately, I got a bad knee injury during the training just less than a month out. I had to rest for weeks before trying again, and just realized that I could not continue. Hoping that I could recover soon, I did not cancel my membership as they have this "save time" allowing members to carry over the missing training time and extend after the contract expiration date. This was a HUGE mistake. In Mar 2023, I knew that I had to move out of Toronto in May due to a job change, and started contacting them for a refund by email and phone. I contacted them in the next month, none of my emails was replied, phone calls were rarely answered. In frustration, I went to the facility in person. To my dismay, the admin person accused me of showing up without an appointment, and their manager Joshua show no compassion after knowing my situation. Despite having trained for only five weeks in total, they refused to refund me for the entire duration, claiming that the "save time" policy didn't apply to refunds. They only agreed to refund me for the months after I left Toronto, which was four months since May. I have trained in multiple MMA gyms before, and I can confidently say that this is the worst one I've experienced. The only saving grace was the wonderful coaches, but they cannot compensate for the gym's predatory practices. I am utterly disappointed and feel cheated. I sincerely hope others do not make the same mistake I did and steer clear of this gym.
