S	Sue Smyth on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the newest venue for Street Smart Defensive Arts. My kids train at both the Ajax and Whitby clubs. Being a new facility its quite nice inside, with new matted floors and a couple of bags hanging from the ceiling that the kids always line up to kick and punch. its an intimate space, that allows for Sensei Todds personal attention to the students. Sensei's workouts are wonderful and my kids usually sleep quite well after his classes. The classes vary greatly and the activities never get boring. Although smaller than the other locations its a friendly fun atmosphere. my kids love it there! Sue
S	Shannon & Al Stephens on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When we joined our daughter up last year, it was to allow her to spend some time with a friend who had joined the Courtice club. My husband had always wanted to get the kids involved in karate but the stories I had heard from how he was treated in karate made me hesitant. From the first class I realized that Sensei Todd has the perfect mix of being firm with the kids but still expecting the kids to ACT like kids, to be relaxed and have fun. Since then not only have we signed up our 9 year old daughter but our 5 year old son and then our 12 year old son. All 3 of them, despite being of different ages and ability levels, all love Sensei Todd's classes and look forward to each and every karate class. Todd does an amazing job with the kids and always works to help them improve, working with their individual strengths and what goals we have set out! He also has extremely fair pricing which anyone with more than one child can certainly appreciate! I couldn't imagine my kids with a better instructor than him! I would highly recommend any of his 3 locations to anyone looking for a program for adults or children of any age.
N	Niki Clouthier on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My two kids are currently enrolled in classes with Street Smart Defensive Arts and its been great. My kids went in with no experience at all and have come so far in 1 year, already earning their next level belts. The instructors are very personable and very good at communicating with parents and are great to encourage the children and offer corrections where and when needed. These last few months have been trying and the instructors have stepped it up to make sure the kids don't miss out. Live classes via Facebook and rearranging the dojo so kids can do classes when it is deemed safe. Whether it is in person or on Facebook the kids look forward to their 2 classes a week.
J	Jeremy Hamilton on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great balance of instruction and exercise, the kids love it. The instructors are firm but fair, great experience for the kids.
A	Allison clarke on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Emma enjoys the programming at this dojo. She learns a variety of techniques (strikes/punches, kata, kali and sparing). Not only does she learn multiple skills to increase her safety, the warm up and skills are taught in a fun and dynamic manner that promote team work.
J	Justin Stein on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great premises, all the padding, targets, etc, and amazing instructors. On top of Karate, my son is learning discipline and respect for self and others.
T	T Junk on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My daughter loves it! I've struggled to find something that she really enjoys for a sport over the years and she really loves her classes here. Renshi Todd and Sempei Sarah are great teachers and the class times are very convenient for my work schedule. Also, I like how there is a separate seating area for parents to watch the classes over a TV. I can still be there to see how well she is doing without distracting her.
J	Jason Woodside on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our son has been attending for several years now and my wife and I will both attest to the positive ways this dojo and the community there have influenced his fitness, confidence, patience, and sense of responsibility. The instructors and the other students all foster a respectful environment where working hard to achieve your goals and having fun is encouraged with a positive attitude. I'll also compliment them on their resilience and flexibility through the pandemic, always being agile and offering lots of different options for online classes, outdoor classes, class signups online as lockdown and capacity restrictions have varied. They really do a great job to keep things engaging despite the challenges.
