Since 1996, the Mississauga Academy of Martial Arts has been a trusted destination for structured, high quality martial arts education. With more than 20 Black Belt instructors, AMA offers a multi discipline academy environment where students train with purpose, consistency, and expert guidance.

Our programs include Goju Ryu Karate, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Tai Chi, and self defence based training, supported by fitness, leadership development, and character education. This integrated approach allows students to develop physical skill, mental focus, confidence, and discipline within one academy.

Our commitment to excellence was recognised with the 2025 CommunityVotes Mississauga Platinum Award for Martial Arts, reflecting the strength of our instructors, students, and wider academy community.

Training takes place in a large, professional, and welcoming facility designed to support long term development. Programs are available for children, teens, adults, and seniors, with multiple weekly classes that allow students to progress at their own pace. At AMA, martial arts training is more than a class.
