No Limits Martial Arts Oakville

Sensei Elyse is such a postive role model for her students. She is approachable, very accommodating to individual/family needs and always finds the right balance of fun and hard work for the students. I'm also loving the daytime kitfit classes, Oakvilles best kept fitness secret.

My son started up at No Limits 3 years ago when he was 3, almost 4 years old. We joined because of their proximity to our house. We knew he was young and we were concerned about my son’s interest level and focus. However, we were assured that we had purchased into a belt program (orange I believe) and that he has as much time as he needed to complete the program. This was communicated by a man over the phone because I was concerned about paying monthly towards a roughly $2000 investment when fairly quickly, my son had no interest in going. The person on the phone said there was no time limit and he can take as long as he needs. We continued to pay, although my son was not attending, and paid the full amount (minus one payment of $125 roughly because our credit card number changed). Fast forward three years, my son who is now 6 showed more focus and interest. We started attending and I just assumed, based on my previous interaction, that he could just start where he had stopped. However, I was emailed to indicate my son’s program had expired. I went to speak to them and the girl showed me a brochure she just printed off that apparently explained that the program only allowed 18 months in which the belt program had to be completed. Long story short, they wanted me to commit to another belt program - even though they knew I paid $2000 towards an orange belt already. The girl (Elise) seemed to have no business sense and was more determined to be right than trying to negotiate a way we could both be happy. Since then, we have joined another place. They did not bind us to a belt program and they also provided a reasonable three month charge so that kids really get a feel for the program before committing long-term. Please do your due diligence before signing up. And also, keep your contract as I was asked if I still had mine from three years ago to confirm my program did not have a time limit.

We signed our son up for karate at No Limits 4 years ago because he was struggling with confidence. The changes in him were almost instant. He has gone from the kid afraid to raise his hand in class to a competitor on NLMA national team and a room full of trophies and medals. 18 months ago we signed up our daughter who is using the endurance, strength, discipline and flexibility taught in class as additional training for competitive gymnastics and rep soccer. No limits are family run establishments who’s instructors draw the very best out of their students in a positive, energetic environment. The skills my kids are learning will be used long after they become black belts!

My girls joined NLMA a few years ago and have been loving it ever since! Senseis Elyse, Helder, Adam and Luke are all phenomenal instructors! They are patient, creative, fun, and have helped instill a great work ethic in my girls. Both of my girls were fairly shy but since joining NLMA they have come out of their shells and have become so much more confident. My girls always work up a good sweat and have a blast at NLMA. Their focus and discipline has improved and they have become so much stronger and flexible. I myself have also been hitting the dojo since the fall after joining Sensei Elyse's Kickfit class (my girls feel so proud that I go to their dojo for exercise too!). I had been a gym member on and off for years before but never actually enjoyed going. It was boring and repetitive. Kickfit class is so different! For the first time, I can actually say that I am always excited to go! You never know what to expect as she changes it up with different exercises and circuits each class, whether it's kicking, punching and/or various strength training exercises like squats, burpees, push-ups, lunges etc. She pushes us just the right amount, always provides simpler or more challenging variations to the exercise, and has the best up-beat playlist going to keep us motivated and pumped. The class size is just right and the Kickfit group of parents I get to workout with is awesome. Her classes are just the best and I really hope they continue all year round so that I can call NLMA my permanent "gym"!

The Kick Fit Boot Camp at No Limits Martial Arts Oakville is fantastic. I’m getting in the best shape of my life (in my 40s). Every class is different. Our instructor Elyse encourages and pushes us to get the most out of each workout.

I am currently taking the kick fit boot camp with Elyse and I would highly recommend this class! Every single class is different and unique! This is my second session, after taking a huge hiatus from my physical fitness. I am feeling so much stronger and more confident every class! Elyse is approachable, encouraging and supportive and offers lots of different alternatives to the exercises! I would urge you to sign up for the next session in the new year to help with those holiday season indulgences!

My son attended a birthday party here. Not only were the instructors fantastic, Elyse went out of her way to ensure that my son enjoyed the party, even though he was feeling shy and anxious at first. I highly recommend this martial arts facility for parties. My son will be starting classes there soon and cannot wait to start!

The owners are very personable and take genuine interest in my sons' progress. Great fitness, discipline, fun and summer camps. As the kids get older, they can help teach classes and work at the summer camp. Great for developing leadership skills. Thank you No Limits Martial Arts Oakville for all that you do to build confidence and encouragement
