We've been here before....15 years ago, we had a great team in both Toronto and Ottawa Ontario! Our experience has brought us so much joy with lessons of life woven in our martial arts training.
In 2015, we took our little family to the West Coast and opened up shop in Sooke BC. A little matted space inside a local gym that started it all... We're back! Bigger and Better in our own space.
Come and meet us! |
