Global Martial Arts Academy

My family has been going here for over 10 years, these guys are the real deal. Sensei Daniel is truly a terrifc teacher, compassionate, empathetic and very knowledgeable about the disciplines of Martial Arts. I feel blessed to be part of the GMA community.

Top-notch facility and martial arts training! Not only do they teach a fully-inclusive program, the family atmosphere is amazing. Some places preach they teach values, this place lives and demonstrates them. I would not look anywhere else in the Hamilton area!

Daniel is the best trainer!! He is kind, talented, knowledgable and truly cares about his clients. This is a top-tier facility that helps you achieve incredible progress and results! I would highly recommend to anyone interested in martial arts & boxing!

GMA - amazing people, best facility hands down! Highly recommend if you are serious in learning any number of the arts, BJJ, kickboxing, Jeet Kun Do, Karate, self defense - there is literally something for everyone. Super knowledgeable and dedicated staff with no ego. We all learn at different rates and excel at different levels - GMA is the place! Keep up the GREAT work Sensei's!!!

Global Martial Arts Academy is amazing… Sensei Daniel and Sensei Ron along with all the other instructors are top notch! They have an excellent curriculum for students to excel and flourish in. Myself and my two boys have been training there for years and will continue to as it’s simply the best club around hands down!

Great instructors, great community. A fantastic place to practice martial arts as an adult.

I got the pleasure of doing some training here and I gotta say, this place is the real deal. Both of the Yeates are professional and welcoming while commanding the level of discipline you'd expect from a martial arts academy.There's a wide variety of programs available with the knowledge to match. I whole heartily recommend this place for anyone looking to learn or further their martial skills.Thanks Global for teaching me.

This is by far one of the best facilities I have been in for training and the instructors are absolutely fantastic, give them a try!!

Best place to learn martial arts hands down.  Don't miss out.  Applicants must do a test and pass before starting the classes.  This is to ensure that you are the right fit. It shows that they care and that you don't waste your time and hard-earned money. This was one part that drew me to this dojo. My little one loves the instructors and is always eager to learn. She has been going for approx. 8 months now.  For the first few months was very painful to watch but after getting her uniform, getting comfortable with the senseis, and asking for help when needed, she has become more confident, and a little superhero - in my eyes.  Learning discipline, consequence, teamwork, and structure which all kids need - IMO. There are always 5-8 instructors on the floor helping out each student at all times.  We have tried and looked at other places, and before picking this place my little one told me why she liked it and I agreed and was going to say the same things as she did.  Check them out for free as we did you won't be disappointed.Great atmosphere, very clean, friendly staff, and very understanding and helpful with first-timers.  I give the place a 4.5/5 STARS as no place is perfect and always has space for improvement, they always like hearing from parents and giving constructive criticism that makes everyone grow and makes their place even better

My son has been a part of the GMA family for over 10 years now and gone from an undisciplined white belt to a black belt instructor and he did by earning his way all the way through. GMA is a REAL martial arts academy. They are not babysitters and they are not there to sell belts. They are there to teach martial arts to students who want to learn martial arts, and they do that very very well and with their students and instructors safety and well-being as top of mind. I am glad we chose them as my son has become a better person for it.
