Amazing instructors - all classes are taught only by black belts, which is awesome. There are multiple world champions that come from EMA and compete on national/international stages year round. There are many class time options for busy families. My son has been at EMA for just over four years now and he is a changed child.

Sensei Ashley, Gord, and their team have been a beautiful extension of our family in reinforcing things like focus, confidence, respect, and determination. We sleep better at night knowing that our son has wonderful mentors in the martial arts school as he's faced with challenges at middle school and with neighborhood friends. We've seen a huge increase in his confidence and feeling empowered to use his voice, and be a leader- at 7!
As an adult, I joined to support my son and to be a role model when he asked me to join him. What I thought was going to be a casual thing to do, has turned into a

We are so thankful to EMA for all of the encouragement they have given our son. He has learned so much, not just about martial arts but also about character and perseverance. We have noticed such a positive change in his attitude and work ethic since starting at EMA and can’t say thank you enough for everything they have done. We are proud to be part of the EMA family!

The team at the dojo is unique, as anyone attending this school can tell simply by looking at the instructors, all of whom were trained by Sensei Ashley and Sensei Gord, most since they were only a few years old. Putting their great skills aside, each one of them is a pleasant, respectful, gentle, and kind person and this could hardly be a coincidence.
At EMA you can also expect to receive much needed mindset adjustments in the form of constant reminders of what you're doing and why you’re doing it. These along with the extracurricular activities, special workouts, sparing sessions, family events

Amazing instructors - all classes are taught only by black belts, which is awesome. There are multiple world champions that come from EMA and compete on national/international stages year round. There are many class time options for busy families. My son has been at EMA for just over four years now and he is a changed child. He has not just grown stronger and more flexible, physically, but he has gained so much confidence/focus/skill in other areas of his life; it is amazing to see his transformation. The life lessons/messages provided weekly in class on various topics allows for great conversations
