What Does This Mean to You?

At the Defensive Arts Training Centre, our team of instructors are passionate about passing on our martial arts techniques and knowledge to others. We LOVE what we do! We also have the advantage of having a ministry trained teacher, which means we meet student’s individual needs.

How Do You Measure a Good Instructor?

An instructor should never be measured by what they know, what they have accomplished or by what they say. A good instructor should be judged by the knowledge they pass on to their students. At the Defensive Arts Training Centre in St. Catharines, we have students who have successes at the international and world level. In addition, we provide our students with the skills they need to defend themselves confidently. No gimmicks, tricks or fake promises - just real world self-defence.
