Martial Arts

I joined Chunhwa Yoga & Tai Chi in February 2016. I go to the Carling Avenue location 4 times a week. I find that I am starting to sleep, breath, meditate and function better. I've noticed that after a month of going regularly that I have an easier time getting out of bed in the morning. My flexibility is getting better by the day. The instructors and the people that attend are amazing and I just love being part of the center. It truly is a happy place to be.

Very well run by kind,considerate and knowledgeable people. I always look forward to going there.

I trained with Sensei Don Ritter for the better part of a decade, and when it came time for my young children to explore karate, there was no other choice in my mind than to send them to Don. The children’s program at Don Ritter’s Karate and Fitness has always been exemplary. There is always a balance of taking the time to explain things clearly with an assertive approach without being intimidating. Laughter and fun are balanced with discipline; merit-based progression balanced against teaching that difficult things are worth the hard work. The consistent outcome, in both the children that I watched when I was training, and in my own, is that his students learn resiliency, develop self-esteem, become more self-aware, respectful and determined. Don provides a fun, engaging and most importantly positive environment in which his students blossom, and I would not hesitate to recommend his studio for children of any age or ability level. Don is a world-class athlete, coach and teacher who can balance traditional Japanese martial discipline with modern teaching techniques in a way that really has a lasting and positive impact. I dragged my kids to their first lesson, but they dragged me back every class after that. Omar Petralis

Incredible gym filled with great trainers, students and staff. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get fit or become a champion.

I tried my first couple of classes & I signed up right away. They have a smaller group which is good because you get much more one-on-one training time with the instructors & they have more time to pay attention to you. They have the lowest prices in Toronto, but their classes are very good! Check it out & you'll love it! It's a very friendly environment & the instructors are very experiences and technical. Also we have purple/brown belts as well as black belts visit us often. It's a good experience.

You won’t find a better place to train BJJ in the city. Instructors are great, students are friendly and welcoming.

My daughter has been here since she was seven, and I've seen her confidence in moving and challenging herself go through the roof. Every class is energetic and positive! The kids get a variety of self-defence, coordination, and focus-related skills. There are exercises and goals for each student, as well as the whole group working together. The self-esteem and practical physical skills my daughter gets from hands-on martial arts carries over to everything she does.

My kids love practicing with you! Couldn't ask for better!

Fatima is a great personal trainer! Her space is quiet and private which makes for a safe environment if you're not comfortable with going to a big gym. Her focus on improving your health and validating the challenges you have and currently are facing in life makes you feel more confident to push yourself more to get to your goal. Both online and one on one, the diet and nutrition goals and that are made just for me is beyond helpful. Professional, positive and powerful, CFMA is definitely worth the price.

I highly recomended my VT Bro Dwight Hennings School . A Real WSL VT School in Canada.

For me, martial arts is about achieving physical, mental and spiritual health. Master Tal provides a good workout for physical health. The classes always start with safe stretches and some good cardio. Mental sharpness is achieved when he brings focus to all the minor details of karate movements. He walks around the class correcting students positions and movements. Master tall often brings the spiritual element by using karate as an analogy to life. He teaches that a smart martial artist should never make the first move. He teaches a nonviolent form of self defense: violence only as a last resort. I'm going on my third year at Villari's, and I still look forward to every class with Master Tal: that is a sign of a great martial arts class.
