Team Toshido Founder and Head Trainer, David Lea, has taken complete beginners in the martial arts and has developed them into World Class Professional Fighters. Team Toshido has produced numerous Professional MMA Champions, who have competed in most of the major promotions including Bodog, SHOOTO, MFC, KOTC, AFC, AMMA, Invicta FC, and the MMA Big Leagues -The UFC!
You will never be pressured to compete! MMA Competition isn't for everyone, but that doesn't mean that you can't train like a fighter and get the same amazing mental and physical benefits that a true MMA program can offer. Yes, we have one of the top Professional MMA Teams in the Country, but the majority of our students have no desire to ever step into the cage themselves, and train for fitness, fun, and World Class Self-Defense!

Dave is great coach and the atmosphere in Toshido is top notch. It is not uncommon to see UFC fighters dropping in to train. Leave your attitude at the door and have an open mind and you will get what you are looking for at Toshido. My boys have trained for the last 3 years under Toshido MMA and they have grown mentally and physically stronger because of their training and coaches. Confidence is huge for children as they figure out life. My boys don’t have worry about bullies. They respect their peers and have to tools to smash when necessary.
See you soon Coach we will be back!

Dave is amazing at providing unmatched training. It doesn't matter if you are a professional fighter or a single mom trying to get a work out in, you will be treated the same and get the same level as attention in the classes. He has also brought up a stable of amazing fighters and athletes who have given me and others countless lessons on positions and techniques on their own time. Can't recommend this place enough and yoy won't find anywhere better in the Okanagan to train.

David Lea is a fantastic instructor. Dave can train both professionals and hobbiests equally well, a quality most instructors do not have. Dave creates a fun environment where everyone can work towards their goals. Kelowna is lucky to have such high level instruction.

I love training here. I can have fun with the team and prepare properly for competitions. I always feel safe, respected and appreciated. The coaches are clear and helpful, the students are skilled and respectful. We laugh and have fun during every class but stay focused and get results, and when we are done training there's never any hesitation or shortage of people offering to help clean up or disinfect the mats.

I've been training with David Lea for over 10 years underneath the Toshido banner. Toshido is known for its MMA fight team, which has brought numerous fighters from beginner to world class athlete fighting in the biggest promotions, UFC, and Bellator. Also Toshido isn't only just for MMA fighters. David Lea offers classes for children and the average person just looking to get in shape and learn something new, while having fun. Overall great atmosphere and accepting of all different types of people. A great place to start your martial arts journey :)

What can I say... getting beat up has never been so much fun :9 Though I've only been going here for about a month, Toshido MMA has given me so much. Everyday is new, exciting, and fun. I have met so many people, and continually get to meet more! People from all walks of life, and all very welcoming. Toshido has provided me a safe place, a home when I honestly was feeling lost. From the jokes and carefree moments, to the sweat, bruises and scrapes... all the hard work, this gym, and the people who come here, I've fallen in love with it all.
