Between belts, kids earn stripes.

Stripes go on the belt a child already has, and belts come in junior and senior levels, so there is always a next step that feels close.

“Our daughter started in July 2025. We wernt sure how she'd like it or how she would do but loves it and has done so well and in just a few short months earned her 2nd belt! She is disciplined in the dojo, focuses and works hard to earn her stripes.”

Who teaches the kids?

  • Sensei Dave Little. Kids are his favourite students. “Because they're perfect people,” he says.
  • Senpai Anita Koczekan works with kids who learn in unique ways.
  • Sensei Katie DiMaria specializes in helping shy beginners grow.
  • Is it safe? Classes are structured and supervised, with age-appropriate techniques and controlled practice.
  • And beyond class: Student of the Month, an annual tournament every student looks forward to, camps over school breaks, and birthday parties.

“Regardless of the condition of your child (autistic, hyper, doesn't listen, shy), don't worry they will assess your child and let you know if the dojo is a right fit for them. If seen all types at this dojo.”

Linda Du-Singh

“Kids love going to this martial arts institute where there is a balance of fun along with learning new skills. Skills that kids are reminded to be used in day to day life such as focus, patience and perseverance.”
