    These guys are the best. My son was there for 4 years, earned his black belt, competed internationally and grew as a young man. Renshi's Imran and Ryan are OUTSTANDING people and Sensi Danny is a great young teacher himself. They've helped with all kinds of teenager scenarios as well, not just Karate, as the kids relate to them. Really different because they are younger teachers, the kids relate to them. I miss being involved as my kids moved on, but we still keep in touch.

    CSMA has been a a most wonderful experience for my children. The atmosphere is welcoming, pleasant, respectful yet no-nonsense. There is a feeling that your child's best interest is at heart. My son who is not the most athletic has found his happy place at the dojo and is driven to get to black belt level. The many instructors feel like part of our extended family. They are positive role models for my children and it has been absolutely rewarding being part of this community of achievers.

    So glad we enrolled here, my son is learning a lot of confidence, focus and discipline. He’s more confident with himself and is better organized now. The team is so wonderful, they pay attention to each kid and know them all individually, very impressive!

    My children love CSMA! The teachers are very skilled in both martial arts, and interacting with the kids, and really make it feel like a community (which is good because we're here 4-6 nights a week 😁). One of my daughters needed help becoming more confident and sure of herself, she is in the leadership program and is now starting to help out teaching the little kids. The increase in her confidence levels and self-assuredness has been amazing, not to mention the physical benefits. Another of my daughters needed help with self discipline and paying attention, and needed an outlet for all her energy. Karate has most certainly helped with that in a major way. Great for building strong bodies and strong minds!

    My son has been going to CSMA for over 2 yrs now, and although it’s been a bumpy road for him, the dojo has been amazing in helping him transform into a better behaved more level headed child. We cannot recommend CSMA enough, they have really supported us. We recently had his birthday at the dojo, and it’s free when you’re a member, you supply food and decorations. They literally take care of everything else. The kids were so entertaining & had a great time. Sensei’s Will, Daniel, Matthew, Luka & Luca’s really kept the kids engaged & made our son feel so special. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with CSMA, and how to see our son one day teach their as a Sensei.

    CSMA is an awesome place. My son has been going since January of this year('23) and absolutely loves it. The instructors are incredible and create a wonderful positive environment for the students to learn and grow. Beyond the physical fitness, seeing the growth in confidence, discipline and focus in my son has been amazing. He recently had his birthday party there and Sensei Mia, Luka and Lucas made sure everyone had a blast. The community that Renshi Imran, Renshi Ryan & Sensei Danny are building is really great. There is even a gym for the adults so you can get fit too!

    My daughters had their 5th birthday party today (22/07/2023) and all the kids had an absolute blast! Sensei Will, Lucas, and Mia were so fantastic with all the kids. My girls didn't want to leave, they were having such a good time! The girls also attend classes here regularly for the last several months and they were so excited they could have their party here to share it with their friends!

    My son joined the CSMA community a few months ago. Karate allows him to stay active and to reach goals. He is very proud of the progress he has made and is so happy to be greeted at the door with a smile and a high five by head instructor or another staff member a few times a week. He has nothing but positive things to say about his experience. He recently celebrated a birthday party at CSMA. Every single instructor there was amazing! They truly did a fantastic job. They also accommodated a guest with special needs who required hearing aids. They made sure to ask questions and switch the microphone over from one person to another. Finally, they offered to help with various tasks, from serving food to bringing the gifts to the car. I could not have asked for better service! Thank you Sensei Mia, Sensei Daniel, Sensei Matt, Sensei Will and Sensei Sebastian! My son will never forget this special party!

    I can’t say enough about CSMA! My son Sawyer who is 9 years old wanted to learn karate and we had no idea how amazing the experience would be. The instructors are so positive and motivating whether it is in class or over zoom. My son has gained so much confidence and loves learning in such a friendly and supportive environment. I highly recommend CSMA to anyone wanting to have their children do karate!

    We couldn't possibly love CSMA any more! The owner and staff are incredible! They truly care and are so motivating to the kids. They truly care about each and every one of them and it shows. We have tried other martial arts schools and they pale in comparison. The schedule is SO flexible you can literally go 6 days a week if you wanted with more than one time option per day. The energy is so high and the kids are always motivated. Honestly this is just the tip of the iceberg - I could go on! We are so happy with the decision to enrol our 5 and 7 year old boys and we plan to be there for life! Thanks CSMA :)

    CSMA is an amazing dojo! Both of our girls have been training for years and they love it! We've seen such an incredible growth with self confidence and self discipline. The instructors are full of positivity, encouragement and energy when teaching and it really helps the kids and their confidence. We highly recommend CSMA for anyone looking for martial arts training!!

    Highly recommended CSMA for anyone looking to learn karate in a positive and encouraging environment! My son started karate during the pandemic and we’ve watched him grow and gain confidence, thanks to the support and encouragement of the amazing instructors! The instructors are highly skilled, disciplined and teach with passion and heart! Thank you CSMA!

    CSMA has been the best experience for my 12 year old daughter. She is learning to work hard and go after her goals. She receives the best coaching I’ve ever seen. They are so positive and so invested in the kids, but they also teach them about hard work and respect. I highly recommend CSMA. I’m grateful for everything they have done for my daughter.

    My son loves going to CSMA Barrhaven. He enjoys learning the katas and the special classes such as swords and self defense. The renshis and senseis are awesome teachers!

    CSMA has been wonderful for my child. My son’s growth over the last few years with the skills he’s been taught, his focus and grit as well as his commitment to his sport has been amazing to see. CSMA promotes strength, courage and independence in their students, and fosters a learning environment that is inviting, friendly and safe. They always greet their students by name, and encourage leadership and community within the studio and beyond their doors. CSMA is a great martial arts studio with dedicated and committed owners and instructors. I recommend them a thousand times over. Thank you, CSMA!

    We absolutely love CSMA! Highly recommend for kids of all ages. My son has shown a significant improvement since he first started. He absolutely loves all his Senseis and Renshis and looks forward to attending classes every week.

    I cannot say enough about the wonderful team at CSMA. My son has been attending classes for almost two years, and the growth in his focus and confidence has been incredible. The head instructors are kind but firm, teaching fun classes while also teaching valuable life lessons. The young sensai instructors are a testament to the excellent work that CSMA does in training confident and respectful young adults. We had our son’s birthday party here this fall, and the entire team was dedicated to making the experience incredible for parents, kids and the birthday boy! We look forward to years as part of the CSMA family!
