Martial Arts

Thanks for taking the time to post that video. Great explanation! Ill try that later today! Again, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

I have studied in a few different schools, under various techers, but none has ever come close to sifu! The class here is real friendly, and really a great training and learning environment. I love it here!

Great school for children to learn! I've had chance to visit and train at this school years back. Great school and Master Deh is wonderful example for his students. Unlike many of other school instructors and masters, Master Deh is very humble, kind and passionate. A wonderful person for students to learn from. A roundhouse kick is a roundhouse kick but from Master Deh, you get to learn than just how to kick. A wonderful school to train Tae Kwon Do and build character. Great place for kids. Highly recommended.

A very well run Taekwondo school catering to the needs of any aspiring martial artist from novice to advanced. The facility is very clean and welcoming with friendly staff and instructors who make everyone feel welcome. I would recommened this club to anyone who is interested in learning a martial art.

CFTP is simply the best of the best... our girls just started and absolutely love it. The Masters are fantastic.... always so welcoming and incredible with the children. The facility is spacious and clean... overall fantastic!!!!

My whole family goes here, it is a suitable gym for all ages and levels. We've only been going for a little over a year and already we are deeply integrated into the Kickstart family and community. It is one of the precious hidden gems of Etobicoke!

My two young children and I have been training here for a couple of months now. The instructors are great, and they have good kids classes. I would highly recommend sending your children here.

Do not sign up your children at this academy. Mister Seo kicked my 6 year old son in the chest, which knocked him to the ground and impacted his head on the mat, causing him to go unconscious. Luckily, he came back within 20 seconds. I took him to the hospital and there was no major harm done physically, but my son has suffered psychological trauma that will likely continue into the future. Mr. Seo used excessive force on my son when he should not have been using any kind of force on the students - instead the children should be sparring with one another. I believe he did this because both of my sons were misbehaving and running around during the session. Not once did I receive an apology about what he did, and I immediately took my son and other son out of the classes. While I have to care for my own children first, I am writing this review to warn other parents about this instructor and academy.

I loved the presentation at woodbine now I want to come

I joined back in 1994 and spent much of my life there outside of University. I credit Sensei O'Connell with fostering a community-based school that operated on the principles of inclusion, camaraderie and helping each other. Our social lives revolved around the dojo. Our friends were from the dojo. Through Karate, I was successful in school, work and family life. My journey took me from HPMA for a while as I lived in other cities, but always training, or looking for a school. Having trained in 3 other cities and over half a dozen other schools in the 16 years I have been away, I can say with a degree of qualification that HPMA is far and away the best school I have experienced. Nowhere else even comes close to providing the level of physical, emotional and philosophical balance and development that a person can gain at HPMA. I am pleased to be able to spend a bit of time there once again. Thank you.

Master Rim taught me over 20 years ago. I am thrilled to have him now teach my twin boys. Best Tae Kwon Do school in the city! Master Rim is a legend. You won't be disappointed here.

This is a fantastic place for anyone who's ever considered training martial arts. It's a very welcoming atmosphere filled to the brim with amazing people with positive attitudes. The training itself is great - you can simply train the art as you wish, or if you are looking to compete then Professor Marco Costa (whose wealth of knowledge about Martial Arts as a whole surpasses many, many others) is more than good enough at pushing you to your limit and helping you train the way you should be training. Whether you want to make your first steps, or take your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the next level, this is THE PLACE to go. HIGHLY recommended.

I have twin 4-year-old boys. Keeping them disciplined and engaged (long-term) in any activity is never easy. Black Belt World have a great team of instructors that has a unique way of 'connecting' with young kids and teaching them discipline and respect (in addition to self-defense skills). Our boys love being there.

I wanted to train taekwondo just like I used to, but apparently this place just allows you to train high performance if they invite you to. So what am I supposed to do to get invited? Train among kids within their "recreational program" ?

It is a good place to learn tkd. The teacher is super nice! You definitely have to go. I learn alot in this tkd class! If you want to learn teakondo,you have to come to this place. 🙂☺🙂☺
