Mindful Martial Arts Academy

I like recommend Sensei Eric at Mindful Martial Arts Academy to any parent wanting their children to develop self defense, discipline and social skills. Also, I highly recommend it to any adult who is intersted in martial arts. His teaching style is unique and comes from many years of martial experience.

Sensei Eric taught my daughter for many years, truthfully it was the only reason she enjoyed Martial arts so much . He understood her and helped her develop skills well beyond the dojo. I believe a lot of her confidence and positivity came from Eric’s way of teaching. Highly recommended parents to enroll their children in his classes.

Sensei Eric is a dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate karate instructor. He is able to challenge and motivate his students to achieve their personal goals.

Sensei Eric is an extremely talented martial artist. He has the ability to identify weaknesses in a non-threatening way, and make his students want to be better; to rise up to the challenge, to earn that Black Belt! Myself and my kids had the honour of learning from Eric for a number of years, and his care and expertise certainly made us better Karate students.

My kids needed something more than the “typical” for extracurricular activities during the school year, and karate was the answer. Sensei Eric has a natural ability to bring out the best in kids. His caring and motivational way of teaching traditional Shotokan karate brings out the best in both children and adults. After watching my children gain the love for the martial arts, I too started my karate journey. After 7+ years of training with Sensei Eric, our whole family can’t say enough about his method of instruction. Focused and disciplined yet motivational, loving and inspiring, Sensei Eric brings out the best karate in his students and we are proud to call him Sensei and a friend. If you are looking for a sense of calm, focus, discipline, respect and perseverance or are looking for a new chapter in your life, don’t look elsewhere!

We had the pleasure of having Sensei Eric as the Sensei for all my children for many years.Not only did he greet each and every parent and child with a smile each and every day, he motivated the kids to reach their true potential and always expressed how much he believed in them. Sensei Eric was also a huge support and helped train and challenge my son to earn his black belt last year! You would be very lucky to learn with Sensei Eric!

After working with Sensei Eric for many years he always knew the right way to explain things in a way that each individual of any age would understand. Always with a calm voice and a smile with what you might call a quiet intensity
