My son goes to the after school program and karate classes. I could only say amazing things about this place. First they offer school pick up which is amazing for a mom who doesn't drive. Second they are beyond friendly and always feel welcoming. Third my son had behaviour issues at home and it got to the point where every weekend was a night mare but now with Jack and Mary Lous help he is starting to behave at home. I highly recommend Here for all kids and all ages.
My young girls love the MATC! You feel like part of the family as soon as you walk in. Jack and his team of exceptional instructors are helping my girls learn this incredibly practical martial art all the while boosting their self-confidence and discipline. The facility is very clean and second to none. Highly recommend!
Its not the best place, i had been here and the teachers are sometimes cruel and say swears to students in the afterschool. Even some of my friends left this place becuase of how cruel it is to the students.i also saw lots of my friends being yelled at even though their actions weren't very serious.jack and marilou are always feared because of how they will yell at the students.i hope they change how the staff behave.
We have been in camps and after school program with Martial Art Training Centre. Staffs are nice, facilities are clean and they offer a broad variety of activities. We love it here!
The Martial Arts Training Centre was kind enough to allow our Nerf group to rent the space for hosting games during the winter months. The facility itself is well maintained and clean, and all interactions with the staff have been great.
The facilities and training area are impeccably maintained, and they've allowed the Toronto Area Nerf Group to host their games on weekends for the winter season.
My son and I have had the privilege of monthly nerf wars with our group T. A. N. G (Toronto Area Nerf Group) during the winter months thanks to one of our members, Greg, who works there and the kindness of the owners/operators for allowing us into the space for a very small fee. This has been a game changer for us having games all year and I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who made this possible. This has saved us from the doldrums of having no gatherings for 3-4 months. This has made a huge difference in our lives and it has not been unappreciated. Thank you to all involved
My son really enjoys MATC. He even asks to go for PA day camp instead of staying at home.
He started attending the evening jiu jitsu classes back in 2021, then switched to afterschool program 2022. He also attended the summer camp in 2022.
After the trial class (jiu jitsu), he asked many times if he could go again. We had tried tkd at another centre prior and he didn't even want to go inside the gym there. I can't pinpoint what it was, but the jiu jitsu class really appealed to him.
Marilou (she manages all the administrative aspects of the centre) is incredibly responsive; I get email responses early morning, late night, weekends - you name it! She's also very accomodating of any needs we might have. Jack (the owner) is very involved and knows all the kids.
The centre is very clean (including the washrooms) and they are open late M-Th for afterschool & camp. The latter is a big deal for us as we have long commutes; the extra flexibility means we don't have to stress out if we'll be later than usual due to road blocks.
My son likes the classes and he's always excited to show us new techniques he learns. He enjoys the variety of activities offered during the afterschool & camps - nerf gun wars (his favourite), 3D printing, bouncy castles, field trips etc. Because there's a large public park & splash pad across the street, they also get a lot of outdoor time during the summer.
One downside is the limited parking between 5: 30-6pm (a surge of cars from afterschool pickup & 5: 30pm classes plus the neighbouring offices haven't gone home for the day yet). It's a short period so it's easy to work around and there's also ample parking available across the street at the community centre.
Had a children's birthday party here and it was awesome. The class was really engaging for 4 and 5 year olds. Lots of running and beautifully decorated.
Beautiful facility and great staff. I brought my daughter for a free trial. The owner Jack will make sure that your child feels comfortable. All in all a great experience.
The facilities are excellent and most importantly, very clean! There is nothing nastier than training in a dirty dojo so I really appreciate how well kept it is.
