Elite Martial Arts Toronto

I have been a student at Elite for few months. I started with trial classes and found the experience to be what I was looking for. I have had the experience to be instructed by numerous teachers (Krus) and have found all of them very good. They teach good technique and are always correcting to keep you safe in class. A great class if interested in personal self defence as a beginner and there is definitely room to grow with experienced instructors. I would definitely recommend.

Great school. A solid place to start your martial arts journey. Strong focus on cardiovascular fitness. Instructors are great. For Muay Thai, sparring is open to beginners, which is nice.

Elite Martial Arts is an exceptional school that provides top-notch training in Muay Thai. As someone who has been a student there, I can confidently say that this school is the best place to learn and grow in your Muay Thai practice.

The instructors at Elite Martial Arts are highly skilled and knowledgeable in Muay Thai. They are not only passionate about the art but also dedicated to teaching their students in the most effective way possible. Their teaching style is structured, yet adaptable to each student's individual needs and goals.

The training environment at Elite Martial Arts is welcoming and supportive. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, you will feel at home here. The atmosphere is positive, and the students and instructors are friendly and helpful.

What I appreciate most about Elite Martial Arts is the attention to detail and focus on technique. The instructors emphasize proper form and technique, which has helped me improve my skills tremendously. They also provide individual feedback to help me grow and progress in my practice.

Overall, I highly recommend Elite Martial Arts to anyone interested in learning Muay Thai. The quality of instruction, supportive community, and focus on technique make it a standout school in the martial arts world.

I have been a member of EMA for an entire year, and it has been an incredible experience! Despite starting without any previous martial arts experience, the instructors at EMA have guided me every step of the way, from being a beginner student. Not only is the facility exceptionally clean, but the gym also stands out for its strong sense of community. Everyone at the school is incredibly supportive, and I have made numerous friendships since joining!

TLDR; highly recommend for someone who is a beginner and experience student to join this school!

Awesome Muay Thai and Krav Maga School!

I've been training at this Muay Thai and Krav Maga school for a while now, and I can't say enough good things about it!
Situated in a prime location so transport was never a problem. The instructors here are top-notch. They really know their stuff when it comes to Muay Thai and Krav Maga.
It's like a big, sweaty family! Everyone is super friendly and supportive, and we all push each other to be our best.
The school is well-equipped with everything you need for a killer workout. The mats are clean, the bags are in great condition, and they even have a little lounge area for chilling out after a tough session.
And cherry on top the owner and head instructor Dan invites experts from around the world for guest seminar and training.and occasional social parties are part of knowing previous and current students.
Safety is a priority here. They make sure you're wearing the right gear, and they emphasize responsible training. You can go hard, but you also go home in one piece!
I've seen great improvements in my skills and fitness since joining, and I genuinely look forward to every class. The schedule is designed to accommodate your free time in the evening or in the morning or Saturdays. If you're looking for a welcoming, challenging, and all-around awesome place to train Muay Thai and/or Krav Maga, this school is definitely the place to be. Highly recommended!

Elite is an excellent school for learning Krav Maga and Muay Thai. The instructors are very skilled and knowledgeable. The culture is great too. I've made quite a few friends here.

Lovely facility and quality workout. Head instructor is a very personable guy and his instruction is clear without being watered-down. My partner is experienced in Muay Thai and I come from a Shotokan background. I much preferred this style of teaching and martial arts!

Great school and beginner-friendly classes.
Everyone receives individual attention during the class.

I came to this school 2 years ago for a first experience in martial art and I loved it so much. Dan and his staff are amazing people, pushing you to your best in a fun and professional way. I intend to stay and progress with this amazing team and I encourage anyone to join and try! Thanks Dan and team, you rock!

I joined Elite Martial Arts in 2017 because I wanted to get a good workout and learn practical skills as a young woman who often walks downtown alone. This is the first time I tried a martial art and when I attended for my first trial Krav Maga class, I was welcomed in a friendly and safe envrionment. I didn't feel intimidated and I got the great workout I wanted. I immediately joined the Krav Maga classes, and as I earned my belts, I gave Muay Thai a try. This was an even more intense workout, which helped me improve my Krav Maga skills.

I'm proud to say that I recently earned my black belt in Krav Maga in 2022. I also earned my blue shorts in Muay Thai. I couldn't  have done it without the encouragement and support of Dan, instructors and students at Elite. Anytime I had questions or concerns, Dan was always ready to address them head on.

I've made some life long friends through Elite. Most of all, this experience has empowered me to build my confidence while walking the streets of Toronto but also in life generally. I highly recommend Elite Martial Arts for anyone looking to get a good workout and learn useful skills to prepare yourself for the unknown. Women's only classes are also available.

I recently joined Elite Martial Arts and have been thoroughly impressed with the quality of the classes and the care shown by the owner and instructors. From the start, the owner was helpful and welcoming, taking time to answer my questions.

The instructors are knowledgeable and engaging, creating a supportive and encouraging learning environment that challenges students to improve. The classes I've attended have had great energy and intensity, and as a new student, I'm already certain that I can learn a lot here.

I also appreciate the inclusivity and respect shown towards all students, including myself as a trans woman. The teachers have been considerate and reassuring, making me feel entirely comfortable and welcome.

Overall, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive and I highly recommend Elite Martial Arts for exceptional self-defense and martial arts classes in a supportive and inclusive environment. The owner's commitment to creating a positive learning environment is evident in every aspect of the school, and I'm excited to continue training there.

I've been with Elite Martial Arts for 7 years. Started as a Krav Maga student and last year obtained my Black Belt. I had a Muay Thai background prior. I now have the distinct honour of teaching both arts for the school. Elite Martial Arts strives for professionalism from the staff to insure a positive learning experience for the students. I've worked with students that couldn't skip at their first class and after 6 months of consistent classes they found their fitness and co-ordination. It's a wonderful thing to watch students grow on a regular basis.

Started training here five months ago and the experience has been great; both Muay Thai and Krav Maga, which I've found to complement one another very well.
Dan and the instructors have been very open and accommodating to my prior Krav background, which differs slightly from the curriculum they teach.
Overall, they are passionate about what they do and this shows through their instruction.

I signed up with Elite in the summer of 2021, and have been going ever since! I came in with limited knowledge in martial arts, and since then have had the experience of a lifetime!

Elite has created an enviroment that’s safe and conductive to learning. The instructors come in with a vast amount of experience, knowledge, and extrodinary passion in teaching the Krav Maga and Muay Thai programs. This is a great place for people who have zero experience in martial arts AND for people who have been training for a long time. Elite does well in acknlowdeging and catering to your skill level.

For those who have more expreince, Elite always challenges you within your skill level. You will always feel like you’re learning something new everytime. It’s a great way to develop your skills, fitness, and your confidence.

Elite also has a women’s-only program, which not a lot of other places have. This program focuses on issues women face and cater its martial arts teaching towards that.

Wouldn’t recommend this place enough. Give it a go!

Dan, and the other instructors are a really great group and I enjoy training here.

I've been coming to the gym for nearly 2 years now. Its a good balance between getting your exercise in and also learning authentic Muay Thai.

Dan makes an effort to foster a sense of community, so it's not just "another workout at the gym". For example, he makes an effort to host socials (and even caters the school socials out of pocket to show appreciation to us students and celebrate our achievements in training).

I had some administrative issues sorting out my payments/gym access as well, which I resolved quickly and very fairly with Dan. Dan is a good guy, and as long as you're being reasonable - he will be more than fair as well.

Great krav instructors, friendly environment, incredible location, good value, up-to-date equipment and facilities - what more can you ask for?
