Martial Arts Schools near Richmond Hill

“This place is a little gem. Instructors are amazing, they inspire the kids. My son is really enjoying it here!?????“

“My daughter has been attending the after school program for 5 years now. She has not only enjoyed it but made some great friends, improved her focus and confidence! They now have regular in house tournaments that are a lot of fun to watch and really motivate the kids to improve. 5 stars for the programming, but also the great staff and lots of scheduling options.“

“I started at Lanna MMA about a month ago and it was by far the best decision I have made in my life. Not only am I physically fitter, but the way boxing/muay thai has helped me with my mental health is life changing. The staff are extremely friendly and professional and this gym has become a second home for me. The coaches push you so much and truth be told, I never thought I could keep up the way I have - this has truly changed my life. I recommend this gym to absolutely everyone!“

“Been training here for a year and I really enjoy it. Joel and Arthur are great instructors who take the time to explain technique and always come around to assist. Classes are big enough to have a variety of training partners but not too big where you feel like you are just another face on the mats. On any given night, there is a group of training partners who are respectful and want you to get better; You don't have to worry about getting injured or unsafe sparring. It is a great gym and worth the commute no matter where you are travelling from.“

“Overall, I am satisfied, and I definitely recommend it. If you have kids, please sign them up for the kids' classes. Joel, Zuka, and Daniel are amazing, and you will have world-class treatment.Coming from Brazil and having trained for ~ one year there (I'm still a white belt, though), you might be a bit skeptical about joining the combative program. However, I gave it a chance, and I enjoyed the classes. In the combative program, you learn the foundation of BJJ and basic moves, which will certainly speed up your learning in the long term.The big difference for me was that in the Brazilian gyms (especially the one I came from), you would always join the sparring sessions with all belts, and you learn a lot there, especially when you grapple with purple+ belts. However, the combative program won't give you that taste (here is where you may get disappointed if you're coming from a different BJJ gym like me), and there is a more or less long road to the master class before you can join them and get back to where you're used to.I see the pros of the combative program, especially for those who have never been exposed to BJJ, but if you have certain exposure to BJJ, you will need to open your mind and try it. The pace of the combative class is totally different from what you could be used to. - To be clear, you need to go through the combative only if you're a white belt, regardless of the # of stripes or years trained (I am unclear, though... I don't want to say something that's not true)I am going into my third month with them, and I enjoy the majority of the classes.“
