Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy - CSMA

These guys are the best.My son was there for 4 years, earned his black belt, competed internationally and grew as a young man. Renshi's Imran and Ryan are OUTSTANDING people and Sensi Danny is a great young teacher himself.They've helped with all kinds of teenager scenarios as well, not just Karate, as the kids relate to them. Really different because they are younger teachers, the kids relate to them.I miss being involved as my kids moved on, but we still keep in touch.

Our son has been with CSMA for almost a year now and our experience so far has been nothing but great! We’ve tried several martial arts school before CSMA but none of them can compare. The instructors always take time to greet the kids as they come in and leave. Everyone is truly dedicated to the success of the students and they not only teach the kids martial arts but they also teach them real life skills (perseverance, resilience, persistence, friendship etc) Our son is also part of The Black Belt Leadership Program which provides him the opportunity to participate in specialized classes such as sparring, weapons and forms. All that to say I truly and sincerely recommend CSMA to parents and adults looking for a place to start training and feeling confident and appreciated at all times.

My son joined the CSMA community a few months ago. Karate allows him to stay active and to reach goals. He is very proud of the progress he has made and is so happy to be greeted at the door with a smile and a high five by head instructor or another staff member a few times a week. He has nothing but positive things to say about his experience.He recently celebrated a birthday party at CSMA. Every single instructor there was amazing! They truly did a fantastic job. They also accommodated a guest with special needs who required hearing aids. They made sure to ask questions and switch the microphone over from one person to another. Finally, they offered to help with various tasks, from serving food to bringing the gifts to the car. I could not have asked for better service! Thank you Sensei Mia, Sensei Daniel, Sensei Matt, Sensei Will and Sensei Sebastian! My son will never forget this special party!

We tried CSMA after getting a free class from a kiosk at the Carp Fair.This martial arts program has been nothing short of amazing for my 9 yr old son. This has not only been helpful in helping provide focus and discipline but has also provided my son with many new friends. The staff are very friendly and helpful...willing to work together with parent and child should a problem arise. Again, I cannot say enough good things about CSMA. Thank you Renshi Imran as well as everyone else that makes this an enjoyable experience that I am proud to have my son be a part of.

We celebrated our daughter's birthday at CSMA yesterday. The good thing is that they can support a bigger group very well in terms of games , space and staff. The playtime was well structured , so all kids had a blast! The cake cutting with the samurai sword is the best part for birthday kid. Thanks CSMA for making it such a fun birthday party.

CSMA has been the best thing that has happened to my 10 year old daughter. The pandemic was hard on her, as I’m sure it was for many children. The instructors gave her special attention and helped her work through some issues with acting out. The online option kept her active and healthy. And once she could start attending classes outside, and now inside, I see a whole different kid! She is happy and full of enthusiasm again and loves going to the classes. I cannot say enough good things about CSMA. Thank you to everyone there!!!

We couldn't possibly love CSMA any more! The owner and staff are incredible! They truly care and are so motivating to the kids. They truly care about each and every one of them and it shows. We have tried other martial arts schools and they pale in comparison. The schedule is SO flexible you can literally go 6 days a week if you wanted with more than one time option per day. The energy is so high and the kids are always motivated. Honestly this is just the tip of the iceberg - I could go on! We are so happy with the decision to enrol our 5 and 7 year old boys and we plan to be there for life! Thanks CSMA :)

I can’t say enough about CSMA! My son Sawyer who is 9 years old wanted to learn karate and we had no idea how amazing the experience would be. The instructors are so positive and motivating whether it is in class or over zoom. My son has gained so much confidence and loves learning in such a friendly and supportive environment. I highly recommend CSMA to anyone wanting to have their children do karate!
