Clarington Martial Arts & Fitness Centre

This is such a wonderful place to learn and be active. The teachers are awesome and always very supportive. I've been able to come Monday-Thursday with the current summer schedule and I've seen such an improvement in my flexibility, balance, stamina, strength and overall fitness. I highly recommend coming here!

Upon walking in, you will be greeted by exceptional people who clearly love their job. I was given a tour of the place and felt like I was a part of the family from day 1. The facility itself is super clean and I love all the different rooms a work out room with rock wall and hanging rings, the floor space in another area, the equipment used for teaching, etc. If you want to try out martial arts, check this place out!

Very welcoming, positive, and professional. Great with kids.

I am a current CMA member I've been doing it for 12 years the belts are easy but have a moderate challenge to it and, I have achieved my black belt

My son attended Martial Arts classes here for several months and enjoyed his time. We felt like the staff there was welcoming and knowledgeable, but lacked in other areas. One of the biggest problems we had was that the classes were far too large and unorganized. Students of every belt from lowest to the highest were in the same class and were being taught by one sometimes two instructors, who were not even full black belts. My son could not get one-on-one instruction that he needed when he was struggling with specific things, he often needed to wait until it was taught to the whole class. For a while, I was interested in learning martial arts with my son, but found there were no adult classes. I dont see how they can have pre-teens and adults in the same classes and expect them to be taught properly. A few times I wanted to inquire about the classes I should attend so I was not clumped in with the younger students, but the owner was never around. She always had other commitments. The final problem arose when my son wasn't advancing in his classes. He attended regularly as regularly as our schedule allowed and knew his stuff well, but after 3 months, he received only 1 "stripe," which after they get 6, they get their next belt. Id love to recommend Clarington Martial Arts but as it currently stands, I find that hard. I heard raving reviews about it in the past from friends and co-workers, but it has changed since then.

Our family has had experience with other martial arts places in Clarington, and we have found CMA to be the most established and professional. Karen has extensive experience in martial arts and sports in the area and brings that wealth of knowledge to CMA. Her students always seem happy and engaged. It's a great family place at a great location.

My daughter started at CMA in August of 2015. 2-3 months after, her grades started getting much better at school. Her attitude and patience when dealing with her daily activities had become very efficient and productive. I believe that as good as the martial arts lessons she gets at CMA, it also does a lot for her personality, confidence and self-esteem. The principles they teach goes way beyond the school. CMA is very family oriented, I see parents taking the same lessons with their kids and having a lot of fun. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get self-defense lessons or simply getting more physically fit, keeping active and having fun at the same time.

We were at the self defense class tonight. The class was incredibly powerful. Karen was fantastic. We didn't just learn "moves". We also talked about mindset which I found unexpected and perhaps even more informative. I highly recommend this class and look forward to talking the next one.

I am currently a student in this place and i love it the staff are welcoming and you don't feel awkward at home, i get a stripe almost every week because I went to belt criteria class, over all probably the best martial arts gym I have went to, the best part is that they have judo taekwondo and boxing

Great staff and a fun learning experience
