SEE HOW Elite Martial Arts Training Centres' Child and Youth Training STACKS UP
Explore our comparison between Elite Martial Arts Training Centres' Child and Youth Training program and traditional sports to understand why martial arts could be a more beneficial and fulfilling choice for your child's overall growth and development.
Traditional sports sometimes prioritize physical prowess over holistic development, potentially overlooking emotional intelligence and character building.
Team selections and competitive play may exclude or bench less skilled players, impacting their enthusiasm for physical activity.
A strong focus on winning can overshadow teamwork, sportsmanship, and enjoyment, which are crucial for children’s development.
In team sports, individual coaching attention may be limited, hindering personal skill development and confidence.
Our program improves strength, flexibility, and overall fitness in a dynamic and enjoyable environment.
Children build confidence through mastering new skills and earning belts, fostering self-esteem and belief in their abilities.
Regular practice instills discipline and concentration, transferable skills crucial for academic and personal success.
Kids learn respect for instructors and peers, creating a respectful environment while developing essential listening skills for learning and social interactions.
FORGING LIFELONG CHARACTER AND PATHS TO SUCCESS
In today’s digital age, nurturing your child’s character involves more than just monitoring their peers; it’s about safeguarding them from the negative influences of the internet.
At Elite Martial Arts Training Centres, the true value lies in the development of essential character traits and pathways to success through martial arts training.
From mastering martial arts skills and techniques to gaining guidance from our dedicated instructors and fostering positive social interactions with peers, your children will cultivate a diverse range of skills and attributes.
FITNESS THROUGH ENJOYMENT
In today’s digital age, many children struggle to get enough exercise due to sedentary habits influenced by diet and screen time.
At Elite Martial Arts Training Centres, our martial arts classes for kids offer more than just physical activity—they’re engaging fitness routines cleverly disguised as a fun experience! Each session is filled with a variety of activities, games, and drills designed to make training enjoyable while effectively incorporating essential exercises.
Regular exercise is crucial for children’s overall health, promoting better sleep, mental development, and physical well-being. Equally important, our classes establish healthy physical habits from a young age, preparing children for a lifetime of fitness and wellness.
EMPOWERMENT AGAINST BULLIES AND THREATS
While we hope our children never need to employ these skills, every responsible parent prioritizes their children’s safety.
At Elite Martial Arts Training Centres, we take seriously the responsibility of equipping your children with essential self-defense skills for various situations, whether confronting a bully or encountering a stranger on the street, and beyond.
However, self-defense is not solely about physical techniques. Our classes emphasize respect and self-discipline, teaching children how to defuse conflicts peacefully whenever possible, while also understanding when decisive action is necessary for their safety.
FUN LEARNING EXPERIENCE!
At Elite Martial Arts Training Centres, we understand that children deserve to have fun while learning.
While we can’t ensure that traditional school settings always prioritize fun, we guarantee an enjoyable experience in our martial arts classes. Designed to balance learning, respect, and discipline with enjoyment, our classes are packed with creative ideas, activities, and games to keep children engaged and enthusiastic.
Our environment fosters friendships among like-minded students, providing a healthy and supportive setting for both children and parents. It’s a place where laughter, cheer, and happiness flourish, ensuring every child leaves with a smile and a sense of accomplishment.

I’ve been involved with Elite Martial Arts since 2019. What started as a desire to get in shape and learn a new skill exploded into earning my black belt in Krav Maga. Dan and his team make classes exciting and engaging, I hadn’t even realized just how much time had gone by because I was so excited for the next opportunity to train. In addition to Krav Maga, the school offers Muay Thai boxing where students can train to get into sanctioned fights, as many students here have. World class training, great instructors, and a great community.
Great instructors, great (and complimentary) programs, great culture.
You won't regret trying out a class!
I've been training with Dan and the team for several years now. EMA classes are always fun, high energy, and super useful.
Great instructors, great people, great environment. At Elite you can tell they really care about their students and take the time to break down each martial art technique whether it’s for Krav Maga or Mauy Thai.
It has been an absolute joy training at EMA. Each lesson and interaction with the instructors and classmates has helped me feel physically and mentally empowered. All instructors at EMA are genuinely passionate about teaching and guiding their students. I truly appreciate their efforts and dedications during each and every lesson.
Been training with EMA since 2015 at the old Mississauga location. Amazing instructors, amazing training partners, amazing school. The skills you learn in Krav and Muay Thai along with the friendships you build are life changing. Everything taught is very practical and pressure tested in class along with sparring.
I have been learning Muay Thai at EMA since it opened its new location in 2023. The school has excellent instructors and such a welcoming environment! I always look forward to coming to class as we learn something new and get to train with amazing people.
After years of trying to get our kids into martial arts with no luck (because they hated the classes)- we found EMA. My kids LOVE it! They actually look forward to their classes, and are learning so much. They love their coaches and the other kids in their class. If you’re looking for a class that will keep your kids fit and active, and also give you the peace of mind that they can defend themselves if they need to- definitely sign up for EMA. 10/10!
I recently started my journey with EMA Mississauga, and so far, I've had an incredible experience. As someone who's not an athlete and is striving to be more active, this has been the perfect place to get fit and learn valuable skills. The instructors are top-notch, and the atmosphere is welcoming and motivating. I highly recommend it to individuals of any fitness level who are seeking to enhance both their martial arts skills and physical health.
I have been going to EMA for about 3 months now for their women's Krav Maga self defense classes and definitely recommend it! You get a good workout while getting some really practical skills to protect yourself. Highly recommend trying out their classes and enrolling. It is a very welcoming environment as they start everything from the basics and make it easy to catch on even if you're a beginner. Worth highlighting that this gym has very flexible membership plans that are 3, 6, and 12 month options which make it better than other gyms that need a full year commitment from the start.
Dan Novak has been stellar! I have had poor experiences in the past with other Muay Thai gym but that has not been the case with EMA Mississauga. Instructors (Jeff, Gerine, Val) have been friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend it, especially if you are a woman looking for a place that does not have a bro/bully culture (who would, right?).
I have been to other Muay Thai/ Kickboxing gyms to for trial classes and I tend to be a little icked out when they emphasize fitness over Muay Thai techniques and practices. At EMA, they ensure that both aspects of training are being taken care of. You will always end up learning something new from the amazing group of KRUS and PC KRUS while also making sure that you are getting your conditioning. While other gyms charge for even Trial class, Dan gives you a free trial class and will provide you with really affordable fees for training, which I really do appreciate in this economy.
I had an excellent experience training at EMA. I trained at the downtown Toronto location and I really enjoyed it, they have a wide range of classes (Krav, Muay Thai) and they accept all experience levels. The atmosphere of the gym was also great, everyone is there to help others improve. The coaching staff is also incredibly knowledgeable. Anyone heading to EMA to train will be in great hands.
I am new to this studio but not to Krav. Both the owner and instructors are not only competent, kind and helpful but they all welcomed me with open arms. The class structure is excellent and the teaching is top notch. Highly highly recommended for anyone who wants to get physically fit and learn some very important life skills. Age and gender do not matter, this is for every human!
We've had a fantastic experience with Dan and his team at Elite Martial Arts Mississauga. My son takes the Muay Thai class three times a week and absolutely loves it. The classes are high-energy, well-structured, and the instructors do an excellent job engaging the kids while teaching real skills and discipline.
What stands out most is the boost in my son's confidence. Not only is he more physically active, but he's also growing more assured in himself and his capabilities with every class. It’s a really valuable life skill he's developing, and I couldn’t be happier with the positive impact it's having on him.
Highly recommend EMA Mississauga to any parent looking to build confidence, discipline, and fitness in their child in a fun and supportive environment.
