Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions we receive
          about the school. We have also included a small section which includes some
          general information that might be of interest to prospective students.

          Q: Do you teach kids?
          A: Absolutely! We teach kids from the age of 4 years and up. Our Wee Warriors
          program, which is specifically for tots aged 4-6, currently runs twice a week
          (Tuesdays and Thursdays) and is the perfect introduction to Martial Arts for kids.

          Q: Do you teach beginners?
          A: Yes, in fact, we love beginners! Contrary to what many people may think,
          you do not need any previous experience or be a super athlete to study martial
          arts. 90% of our students train recreationally to simply have fun, try a different
          work out and learn something different.

          Q: Do you go to competitions?
          A: We most certainly do, however competition is not mandatory. Our competitive
          students have participated in competition all over Canada and the United States
          in various events such as Karate, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and
          MMA. Our competing students are some of the most accomplished of any martial

          Q: What do I need when I start training?
          A: When you're starting out at our club, really, all you need is a pair of shorts
          and a t-shirt. Although we recommend bringing a change of shirts if you are
          attending more than one class in one night. We provide our members with all
          of the necessary equipment for training. As you progress, you will more than likely
          want to invest in some of your own equipment. For those who attend Muay Thai
          they will likely invest in a pair of gloves, hand wraps, shin guards; those attending
          Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and/or Karate may purchase a Gi.

          Q: How many classes can I attend?
          A: We have several classes 6 days out of the week. We are currently offering
          evening classes throughout the weekdays and additionally offer Saturday classes
          mid-day. Your monthly membership is applicable to all available classes, as often
          as you want, in any or all programs (martial arts) you want. Our memberships are
          all-inclusive, in other words, if you wanted to and were available to, you could
          attend each and every class held for your age group. While other clubs and gyms
          may have a limit or cap on how many days/classes you may attend, and potentially
          charge you extra for different programs or additional classes, we encourage our
          students to come in as often as they can at no extra charge. Attending as many
          classes as possible is especially beneficial to those who are training for competition
          as increased attendance better prepares the student.
