Academy of Martial Arts

This franchise is a joke. Look at their trainer page, all their instructors earned their black belts within 4 years. And they earned it from the main teacher, who earned his in only 4 years. lol how can you be a master of your art if you’ve only had four years of experience. They gave each other black belts like it was a happy meal toy. avoid this mcdojo

If you are looking for traditional martial arts instruction in Brampton this is the place to go. The system is solid and the instructors are excellent.
I started training here in 1989. I was looking for a traditional Karate dojo. Of course at the time I had no idea of what I was really even looking for. The Brampton AMA delivered everything I was looking for. After over 20 years of training I consider this place to be my second home and my second family. I cannot say enough good things about it.
The core system is Japanese Goju Ryu Karate Do. Goju Ryu is a style of Karate that blends hard and soft aspects. I find this makes the system very adaptable to different body types, ages and fighting styles. They have an excellent youth program and a solid core of teenagers training there. But you can start training there at any age and physical condition. I started in my 20’s, but I’ve seen people start training in their 60’s.
Another aspect of Goju Ryu is that there is a relatively small syllabus of katas (forms or patterns), compared to some other styles. This means there are plenty of opportunities to «cross-​train» in complementary martial arts. I’ve had the opportunity to train in many martial arts including: various styles of karate, judo, jiu jitsu, boxing, tai chi, bagwa, traditional Okinawan weapons, knife and sword.
The focus of the training is self-​defence. So you get real martial arts training. But if you would like to do tournaments that is definitely available as well.
Once again, I simply cannot say enough good things about this dojo.
