Diana Reid

Sensei Tina is absolutely stellar. Professional, experienced, precise, focused, and one of the kindest and most practical teachers I've ever seen. My daughter has been with her for three years, and adores judo and Sensei in equal measures.

Aidan G.F.

The instructors/sensei's are knowledgeable, helpful and very encouraging. Despite my anxiety going in I've felt incredibly welcomed and thoroughly enjoy my time at the Dojo. In just 3 weeks I already feel I've learned so much and am looking forward to continuing! Highly recommend to anyone looking to start but who may be nervous about it, you'll feel right at home.

Brayden Ambo

Arguably the best in Ontario. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
