As far as martial arts for kids is concerned, our primary emphasis in the class is on respect and basically getting the small children to come out of their "shells". Adult students can take advantage of an mixed martial arts training class once a week where we focus primarily on boxing, kickboxing and grappling.
Our purple belt instructor Jordan Gallagher has an extensive background in grappling not only with BJJ but is an accomplished roman greco wrestler and judo practitioner. If you are tired of the same old gym routine and tired of paying expensive gym fees then indoor cycling is a great option. Also, our fitness bootcamp takes you outdoors with the good weather and combines a variety of strength training, cardio and toning exercises.

I came to Metro Taekwondo to inquire about signing my boys up in martial arts. The instructors were so helpful that I decided to try their two week intro. After the two week trial, my boys found it to be very fun, and I found it to be very structured. My boys have now been attending the school for over 3 years and I am seeing a difference in their behaviour and confidence.
See you on Tuesday! It looks like its a shaping up to be an EPIC good time! Over the weekend we suffered a burst pipe in the basement and ankle deep water. As a result we have had all water to the school shut off and a plumber is enroute. Things should be back to normal tomorrow. Special thanks to "Super Phil" for acting promptly and stopping the disaster from being much much worse.
Taekwondo is an excellent martial art for teaching the little ones about life skills and getting them started on goal setting. Taekwondo in Burnaby, first begins to build on the child's character instead of their physical prowess. Our Martial Arts Program is tailored to small children between the ages of 4 and 7 years old.
Our martial arts classes in Burnaby differ in the sense that adult students can take advantage of an mixed martial arts training class once a week where we focus primarily on boxing, kickboxing and grappling. Like any martial art properly taught and properly practiced, Taekwondo is a non-aggressive and ethical system of self-defense.

This gym is a great place not just for the workout but to feel part of a community. They genuinely care about you as a person. I've gone to their different adult martial art classes by now, so I've experienced the different services. When I haven't gone due to injuries or covid, what I missed the most was them, the people. The instructors are out-of-this-world motivational and personable. Special shout out to Phil, the ever-patient and enthusiastic coach.

My son Caleb loves attending classes at Metro Taekwondo. We signed up for the summer session, and in September immediately purchased the one year membership. I've seen a huge improvement in Caleb's ability to focus and his confidence. The instructors are amazing at what they do, you can tell they all really enjoy teaching the kids. I 100% reccomend Metro Taekwondo!

I have been training here for two years in both Taekwondo and as of recently, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I love the welcoming atmosphere of this dojo. I can confidently say that my experience at Metro Taekwondo has been nothing short of phenomenal. Master Ruiter and Instructor Phil are experienced, patient and knowledgeable of various martial arts. The facility is well maintained and welcoming. It is thanks to their positive attitude, skills and constant encouragement that keeps me motivated and coming back for more.

Metro Performance Taekwondo is very welcoming to all students. Their atmosphere is friendly, fun, and disciplined. It's a fantastic combination that has all students, including my son, thrive. Learning martial arts is a gift to any child that is lucky enough to experience it, and Metro makes that learning fun and engaging.

A couple of years ago, I felt that my son lacked self-confidence and I thought it might be good for him to join Taekwondo. Metro Performance is so much more than a Dojo where one is taught martial arts. It is a place where children of many different ages are taught discipline and to find their confidence within and allow it to be present, in the moment. It is a place where you are to respect your instructors and masters and where they to, respect you. It is a place where children grow and learn, while having fun. It is a place where laughter is shared between instructors and students. It is a place

Metro Performance TKD is an awesome place for kids to learn not only taekwondo, but also discipline, perseverance and confidence. Both my boys were reluctant to join at first as new experiences can always be intimidating for kindergarteners, but with the patience, encouragement and engagement from Master Ruiter and the instructors, we practically live at the dojang now. It is amazing to see how far our boys have come in such short a time and they definitely could not have achieved it without the hard work, devotion and attention to detail the instructors have invested in them.

Our son has been taking classes at Metro Performance Taekwondo since September 2012 and he is doing great. The instructors have taught him a lot about discipline but they also emphasize fun and fitness. My wife and I highly recommend this for anyone looking to get their children active.
We also had our sons birthday party there last weekend and everyone had a fantastic time. There were 11 kids and 15 adults. Master Jason and Master Philip kept the kids busy for two hours with some Taekwondo kicking and punching exercises and then lots of fun games.
We had enough room to set up munchies and food
