Meet Your Mississauga Family

All of our instructors started just like you, as white belts at the Academy of Martial Arts. They understand what you are experiencing as a new member to our family, and will do their best to make you feel welcome. Some have grown up at the Dojo, having started in the children’s program and are now the parents of our newest members.

We welcome you to the family and look forward to a long and rewarding relationship.
