Kanata Academy of Martial Arts

I trained at this place for almost a decade and it has some of the finest instruction I have even gotten in my nearly 30 years of Martial Arts training in multiple countries.Instructors are friendly and capable, front desk is a darling and the people training there are some of the best I've ever met, both in skill and in friendliness. Also, the organization has multiple locations which you can train at without extra costs!Only negative is they have huge instructor turnover of their longest tenure instructors and they are associated with an absolute bigot & trash person for an organizational head (Renzo Gracie). The last is why I left.Considering that the martial arts are full of objectionable people, and especially in MMA / BJJ, your mileage may vary and finding an association head who isn't a bigot or abuser is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Awesome gym, good vibe, teachers and students.Nice mats

Great gym with awesome instructors. No complaints. Friendly environment for kids as well as adults. Will definitely refer to my friends and family. Cheers!

Great place for kids to learn martial arts. Awesome after school program.

The Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts hosted my 4 year old's birthday party at their location in Kanata. Not only were the party hosts extremely welcoming and engaging (all our guests participated and said they had a great time) but they had the space all decorated and set up before we arrived. Our son cut his cake with a sword and had their monster truck pick him up to go to the party. It was an experience he will never forget and super affordable!! I highly recommend OAMA for anyone looking for great kids martial arts programming at a great price!

So far it has been great for my kid. His sensei is challenging, charming and engaging. The centre has a family atmosphere, at least for the kids classes. All in all, a really positive experience.

Great people, fantastic program. The facility needs some work but otherwise, it is absolutely worth the visit.

My kids love this place. We do jujitsu lessons from September to June and summer camp from July to August.

Great place, wonderful people, very skilled and motivating instructors for children and adults.

Fantastic staff, well-run programs and a safe environment for kids to gain valuable life skills via marital arts training. Glad we are part of their team!
