Martial Arts

I started training at this school back in 2005 for 7 years earning my black belt along with my two brothers and father. This school not only teaches you martial arts, self defense and the respect for the art, but also true core values for life. I can honestly say that I would not be the man I am today. The instructors are amazing and truly care for and help the students on their journey. Basically if you're looking for a great Martial arts school look no further.

My son has been a student at Master Khechen's since last Spring. From the very start, I've been so impressed with the staff, school and programs. The instructors genuinely care for the students and teach them things beyond martials arts. The ongoing character development (self-respect, focus, discipline, confidence) is an invaluable support to parenting. The school also offers many fun activities and programs in addition to the standard classes that help keep our son engaged. Can't say enough great things about Master Khechen's in Hamburg!

Our experience has been wonderful. The team of instructors are excellent. Helping to build our son's character, discipline, focus and confidence not to mention respect and manners. Can't wait for our daughter to start in January. Highly recommend.

Way overdue! Finally best of the best, Ms. Dominique Bosshart, decided to share her Martial Arts experience and taekwondo knowledge with the public, at her own school. Google her name! It is great honour and pleasure to know Dominique personally, and through her work at Taekwondo Canada. The school is basically destined for success.

Great place for family to get fit and have fun!

This place is alright, most of the Black Belts are their own clique and not really nice to everyone. Instructors are very good. I was there from 2011-2015 and I had enough with this place. Maybe it was my lack of interest in the sport but one of the instructors did not like that and kept my as Black Stripe for over a year and that's when I quit. It's the one before Poom belt I believe. What made me quit is the sport itself, and if you are a person that hates fighting it will not be good for you and I hate fighting. Poomsae(Pattern) determines the technique you've learned for each level and this is the deciding factor when you are moved on to the next level. During the testing, they also do some exercising like Jumping Jacks, Horse stance and practice punching up to 30 or 50 I believe. They also have sparring where you spar each other. But, if you do not have the expensive uniform you get to fake spar and its easy. Lastly, there is also board breaking technique and there are different types per different levels. I think for orange belt it was breaking the board with your feet by bringing your leg up and bringing it down in a motion like how an axe is done and it's called an axe kick I believe. Hopefully I don't come off as someone who had a bad and bitter experience at this place and truthfully I didn't. But I wish I was able to continue Taekwondo and not be shown dislike by instructors who are passionate about Taekwondo and I am not. I might come back if I could without the instructors being mean to me. I do recommend this place for people that live in the area and want to get a black belt and become an instructor. This place gives ample experience to do so and the top students play for Team Canada run by Master Kang. The master is really a nice and caring person.

I've been going there for a year and it's amazing when my dad and I when we went he approached me first which I liked instead of going to father and talking about prices I've had an amazing experience and can't wait to start again thank you Sam 🙃

Great teacher. Worth it!

Disappointing to read the two negative reviews. I'd suggest those responsible need to seriously look themselves in the mirror and ask just why they are so unhappy in life. The one poster has spewed similar hate on various other Martial arts gyms. Perhaps he needs to start his own club, I'm sure it would be a huge success. My daughter and I have been members at Dragonz for over a year; to say we have enjoyed our experience is an understatement. It is the perfect balance between foundations and fun. Yes, contrary to certain opinions, you are allowed to have fun in such establishments. Sir Marvin is as qualified an instructor as you'll find, and as such has used his experience to formulate a progressive approach to martial arts. I strongly recommend Dragonz, whether you are 5 years old or 50 years old.

The staff's steady encouragement and disciplined approach to movement and conduct at Centerline are great. My kids have already shown improvement in their strength and confidence in just a few short months. We love the Centerline way!

I was Born in Okinawa and I moved to Toronto recently as my company purchased a Toronto business, I have bought a home in the Beaches, I trained back home in Karate from when I was a small child, and I have been trying to find a Dojo to continue my training, I visited this Dojo recently and I was not impressed with their Kihon (basics), never the less I learned something new "Sport" Karate, I have never heard of this term before, it must be an American thing. I would not recommend training here, as they are lacking in the most important part of Karate Kihon, with out a solid foundation in Kihon there is no point to training

I was born in Okinawa and I moved to Toronto for my Business, I trained all my life back home and I have been looking for a Dojo to call home. this Dojo has good Kihon (Basics), but I'm not impressed with their fee structure , in my opinion they have lost sight of the true meaning of Karate-do, and have become too focused on capitalizing on their Karateka (students) I would not sign up here

The membership there is great and definitely worth investing in. They have all sorts of activities and equipment that will keep you busy and active

Great places for kids ... worth it for the money

Stark is a gym where nerdy science and brute strength are finally allies! This combination is unbeatable when you want to train smart. Steves knowledge of current strength-training strategies keeps his clients adequately challenged on a personal level... I've experienced more gains using Steves contemporary methods in 6 months than I have in 35 years of bodybuilding and various sport specific conditioning programs. I've never walked out of that gym disappointed! I look forward to the workouts and the knowledge that comes with it... more than just getting strong you're constantly learning from Steve, Phil and Adrian!! A-ha moments are as common as the pump you get! Keep it fresh boys!
