About Us


“Engaging in sports has a big effect on mental health, and I decided to enrol my kids in martial arts mainly because I wanted them to feel more confident and learn how to protect themselves. They had faced several instances of bullying at school, with some turning into physical fights. What worried me the most was that my young daughter was hesitant to stand up for herself, and this was starting to affect her mental well-being and school performance. So, my top priority was to help her regain her self-confidence, which led me to look for a martial arts school that not only taught self-defence but also had a friendly, family-like atmosphere.

When I came across the Ottawa Academy Of Martial Arts and saw their welcoming and professional staff, I decided to join myself too .

Martial arts has had a notable impact on my children's lives, as it has encouraged them to engage more with fellow students and become more expressive. They have developed a genuine passion for martial arts. In my own case, I lead a hectic and stress-filled routine with full time work study .
