Our new season has started and things are looking great! All of our children's programs are running strong and the excitement is high. We look forward to teaching new and returning students.

New Black Belt Instructors

Upcoming Events

Battle of Ontario Open Martial Arts tournament

Some of our children will be attending the Battle of Ontario Open Martial Arts tournament in Sudbury, Ontario on October 23, 2004. Benoit's Goju-Ryu Karate-Do will be hosting the competition and it is an "AAA" rated event. We wish our competitors the best of luck.

Children's Programs

Besides lots of FUN, our children classes focus on improving self-discipline, respect for themselves and their community; self defence and street awareness.
Every child is treated fairly and as an individual. Like Martial Arts, children have their strengths and weaknesses. As instructors it is our responsibly to see and develop their natural, and not so natural attributes.

Children come first at ICMA!

Thanks to Instructor Colussi and Chief Instructor Pepin for their continuing support and dedication to our ICMA children and, of course, Inner Circle Martial Arts.
