Mushin-Kai International - Karate, Jujitsu, Self Defense Karate school

Our 4 year old son started karate here after a few community karate programs. We can’t say enough on how fantastic and professional the instructors are. It is a very warm and friendly environment, paired with discipline and professionalism.The class size and teacher to student ratio is excellent and well planned.Our son has learned a lot and has retained much of it in such a short amount of time.Highly recommended

Amazing Sensei, steeped in tradition Mushin-Kai gives a balanced approach to traditional and modern karate. Great for Kids and Adults.

If you're looking to get into martial arts, this is the best place to go to (no matter your age)! I love the environment here. The Sensei definitely does an outstanding job at providing top notch self defense classes!

Our son just started here just the other week.He initially started karate in the community program and his teacher at the program pointed us to Mushin-Kai in Waterloo, as our son was enjoying karate.The teachers are very professional and our son is enjoying his new karate class!(Also on a side note: they are very clean and mindful of the ongoing COVID situation. All students are able to effectively learn but still be socially distant.)

Sensei has provided an amazing learning environment at his dojo. The dojo has a friendly and inviting atmosphere. The quality of his teaching is evident by the results achieved by his students.

I've known Sensei Kam Arefi since spring of 2014, he has been our daughter's Sensei since then. I have found him to be engaging, compassionate and kind to his students. He teaches good values such as respect, patience, confidence and humility. Our daughter is fortunate to have him as a teacher, an ally and a coach. In 2019, our daughter competed in the provincial tournaments earning 1st place in youth (12-13 yrs old), -47kg. This propelled her to compete at the National level where she placed 3rd and been selected to be a national team roster where she represented Canada in PanAmerican championship in Ecuador. Since then, Sensei Kam has been training/coaching and supporting our daughter in this journey and we as parents are so lucky to have him in our corner!!!

Our 4 year old started karate under Sensei Arefi in the Forest Heights Community Centre and not only did he love it - we loved it. Before starting karate, he would often go wild, but Sensei Arefi, who is great with children, taught him that discipline while learning and fun while doing karate aren't mutual exclusive.Over the summer, when the community centre programs are on break, our son went to the dojo and it has a great learning atmosphere. The distance from home makes the community centre more attractive for the rest of the year, but our son will surely attend the summer program in the dojo again - he loves doing karate and often asks me to train with him, so it might just be time that I sign up for classes, too :-)Great teacher, great place to learn, great atmosphere - 5 stars.

Have my kids at the Dojo for over 4 years, excellent curriculum activity, they're not only learning karate but also respect and self esteem, and Sensei Kam is a great role model too supporting them at all times.

This is a Great place to learn traditional karate. Sensei has taught me discipline, leadership, confidence, and much more. I am so grateful to learn at such a great dojo.
