  • Why Rohan Loves Martial Arts: Building Confidence and Making Friends

    Why Rohan Loves Martial Arts: Building Confidence and Making Friends

    Meet Rohan – 10 Years Old and Loving Karate! Rohan first stepped into the Port Credit Academy of Martial Arts because he wanted to learn self-defense and pick up new techniques. For him, martial arts was about more than just fitness – it was a way to stand up to bullies and feel more confident in himself. Why This Academy Stands Out What makes this dojo special to Rohan isn’t just the training – it’s the people. The instructors are always nice and encouraging, which makes learning fun and exciting. Everyone here is supportive, and that makes a big difference when you’re trying something new. The Power of Confidence Since joining the Academy, ....

    Lileath’s Journey: A Lifetime of Growth and Strength

    Meet Lileath Claire – Training for Over 20 Years Lileath’s martial arts journey began back in the 1990s, during one of the most stressful periods of her professional career. A good friend recommended training at the Port Credit Academy of Martial Arts, and from the moment she walked through the doors, she knew she’d found something special. A Place for Inner and Outer Development What drew Lileath to this dojo was more than just the training – it was the philosophy. This place wasn’t just about learning techniques; it was about developing the student as a whole – mind, body, and spirit. The focus was on the students themselves, helping them grow ....

  • Finding Peace and Purpose: Peter’s Martial Arts Journey

    Finding Peace and Purpose: Peter’s Martial Arts Journey

    Meet Peter Kelsey – Training for Almost Two Years Peter didn’t start his martial arts journey the way most people do. Initially, he was just a supportive parent, waiting in the lobby while his daughter trained. But as he watched other parents get involved and saw the energy in the dojo, he decided to give it a try himself. Why He Stayed: Finding Peace in Training With a background in high-impact sports, military teams, and intense physical training, Peter knew how to push himself physically. But he didn’t expect the unique sense of peace he found in the dojo. Unlike the gym, where self-driven motivation can feel stressful and demanding, training here allowed ....

  • From Kardio Kicker to Black Belt: Anita’s Journey

    From Kardio Kicker to Black Belt: Anita’s Journey

    Meet Anita Koczekan – First Degree Black Belt Anita’s journey with the Port Credit Academy of Martial Arts started back in 2008. At the time, she wasn’t thinking about earning a black belt or mastering techniques – she just wanted a good workout, so she signed up as a cardio kicker. But as she got to know the people around her, something changed. Taking on the Challenge One day, someone in the dojo encouraged her to try karate, insisting she could do it. That little nudge sparked a fire in her, and she took up the challenge. What she found in karate wasn’t just physical training – it was a mental and spiritual journey too. That combination made ....

  • The Power of Online Karate: A Parent’s Perspective

    The Power of Online Karate: A Parent’s Perspective

    How Online Karate Helps Kids Stay Grounded With so much of school and daily life happening online these days, it’s easy for kids to feel stuck in their heads – disconnected from their bodies and the world around them. That’s exactly what one parent noticed with their daughter. After a long day of virtual classes and screen time, she would seem almost lost in thought, a little distant from reality. Why Online Karate Made a Difference As soon as she logged into her karate class, though, everything changed. The familiar movements – punching, kicking, and practicing techniques – brought her back to the present. She remembered that she had a body, and ....

    Why Linda Can’t Let Go of Martial Arts

    Meet Linda Guthrie – 73 Years Old and Loving Every Minute of Training When Linda first got involved in martial arts, it wasn’t because she wanted to master self-defense or compete – it was simply to stay in shape for her other activities. But once she started, she couldn’t help but keep coming back. Why Martial Arts Just Makes Sense Linda never thought she’d get into something like Tai Chi. She wasn’t into yoga and hadn’t practiced anything quite like it before. But she felt drawn to something calming, and Tai Chi fit the bill perfectly. The gentle, flowing movements felt almost magical – soothing yet energizing at the same time. To her ....

CONFIDENCE

Jayna started this program because we felt she was very shy and quiet and would not speak up and express herself. What she is learning in karate is helping her be more positive, greater self-esteem and she speaks up when needed to communicate effectively with others.

Michael (Student)

KARATE HAS TAUGHT ME...

Karate has taught me how to defend myself and others. In karate I have to be patient and work very hard to get my next belt. I have to pay attention to Sensei and focus on kata so I can learn and get better. Karate helps me pay attention in school. - Michael "As parents we continue to see Michael grow in confidence and self esteem as he progresses through his Karate program. Michael is starting to understand that hard work and dedication is required in anything you do in life, and I believe this comes from his exposure to Karate." - Michael's Dad
