Kombat Arts Training Academy

Fantastic experience: Andrew and May great guidanace and friendly staff. Facility is great too.

Fantastic experience: Started Karate classes for my almost 8 year old son on the weekends (as well as BJJ during weekdays). Great facility with lot of options for a very reasonable monthly membership. You see the difference just by walking into the facility which has multiple classes and age groups all training at the same time in various disciplines such as Muay thai, boxing, karate etc. However the best part for my son is coach Bruce and coach Diana (on the weekends) who are so good with the kids - strict as they should be but also understanding of the capabilities and limitations of each kid. Would highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing academy. Love the classes and the atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Kombat Arts is an awesome place to train! The instructors are super knowledgeable and make everyone feel welcome, no matter your skill level. The gym has a great vibe, and there’s a wide variety of classes to choose from. It’s clean, well-organized, and perfect whether you’re just starting out or have experience. Highly recommend checking it out!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train at knowledgeable coaches that show effective training methods, the wrestling class miles teaches has to be one of my favourites, just wish the wrestling classes were more than just twice a week!

Fantastic experience: May and Rohan were fantastic, making it easy to sign up with Kombat Arts Training Academy. Had a great intro class with Joe and he’s an amazing coach!

Fantastic experience: Awesome academy, great atmosphere and the coaches are truly caring. Always eager to answer your questions and work on your technique! Signing up was easily and flawless thanks to Elijah. Highly recommend to any beginners or advanced fighters

Fantastic experience: Had my first JKD class yesterday with Oliver. Great instructor. Just signed up!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym easy to find and great staff made signing up simple!

Fantastic experience: Eli is great and very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: First time at Kombat, had an amazing time with Eli! Definitely would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Took my 4 year old for his first day of karate and this location was phenomenal. The staff and members were all so friendly and my 4 year old absolutely loved it .

Positive experience: Just started and I liked what I did tonight and looking forward for more and learn. Interested in the strength and konditioning class.

Fantastic experience: I had my first class last week and I couldn’t have imagined it better! ♥️ Ever since I came, May explained everything, helped and advised me for which I'm so grateful for! I've been a little stressed, but thanks to May, I'll remember this class for a long time!!! Kombat arts staff is amazing and truly helpful, you can feel really cared for with every exercise you do! Favourite place of all time

Fantastic experience: It was awesome class, everything was really good, very good for beginners

Fantastic experience: Great place to train, super cool people and very knowledgeable!! I travel from downtown Toronto just to train here.

Fantastic experience: Been going for almost 3 years and I have to say iv learned so much from coming here. My past here was further boosted by the amazing people here such as Omer and Ali. All the coaches are welcoming and help with anything you have questions with. Amazing facility with all the necessities and more

Fantastic experience: The best martial arts training center in the GTA! The management does a phenomenal job ensuring the arena has top-notch coaches and facilities available. My kid has been enrolled for the last 8 months, and he has improved by leaps and bounds in his karate skills. Coach Mash and Bruce provide personal attention to the kids, and their commitment to the arts is unparalleled. I also took a few sessions in Muay Thai and was immediately drawn into the world of contact sports. Shifu Joey is a great coach, an excellent communicator, and a warm individual who makes Muay Thai interesting for beginners like myself. Kombat Arts is growing fast, and I highly recommend them to any parent who wishes to enroll their child in combat sports.

Fantastic experience: The VERY best gym in the GTA. Whether you’re a beginner looking to lose weight, someone wanting to learn self defence or even if you’re someone who’s looking to compete. Kombat Arts has got you covered The NICEST and MOST CARING instructors will make sure you know what you’re doing. As a beginner, you won’t just be thrown to the sharks. The instructors will take the time to make sure you understand exactly how to do certain techniques. I’ve been to many of their Muay Thai, Boxing and BJJ classes. Truly, they are all second to none here in the GTA I’d give them a 6/5 if it was possible, check them out!

Fantastic experience: Awesome palce for all ages to learn martial arts and work out those muscles and stamina. Here you feel like as part of a bigger family/community.

Fantastic experience: Had an awesome time at the Kombat Arts Halloween party! Thank you Joey and staff for all your hard work it is appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to learn a variety of self defence techniques and great coaches

Fantastic experience: Love training at Kombat. Great teachers and great vibes!

Fantastic experience: I love it here + awesome community

Fantastic experience: If you want results this is the place, great trainers and a solid community

Fantastic experience: Great facility and amazing coaches! Highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Welcoming the environment for all types. Focus on technique and worth the investment of a membership. Free trial is worth it to see. The owner is a kind human as well.

Fantastic experience: First time trying, it was awesome. Everyone there is friendly and had a blast doing the training and session

Negative experience: Very disappointed that I used to support this club so much...bought a 1 year membership cash upfront, followed all their social media accounts, attended their events to raise funds, and even bought a bunch of merchandise from them. Initially, I signed up with their 6 Week Challenge bootcamp for $500 and if you beat the challenge then you get the money back. Through hard work and determination, I beat the challenge and used that money towards the 1 year club membership. Unfortunately I bought the membership right before COVID hit. When restrictions lifted for gyms, and even though our fitness instructor we had for our bootcamp classes just left and was no longer with them, we weren't going to get a reduction in our fees even though our fees included the bootcamp ($1100 without bootcamp, $1500 with bootcamp). When I found out memberships were resuming, I reached out and contacted them and asked to put my membership on hold. I am a Personal Support Worker who works with elderly and vulnerable patients so I did not want to take the chance and put more unnecessary risk to my patients. Due to the pandemic, my work schedule increased like crazy. I was working an average of 80 hours a week. Those who know this profession knows that PSWs don't make that much money and we often have to work long hours to be able to make ends meet. Being the sole provider in my household, I could not just cut down my hours, plus coupled with the risk factor of gyms that I wasn't comfortable with, so I would check back in with them periodically and told them that I wasn't ready to come back yet and would like to continue the hold on my membership. My last communication with them regarding that was in March 2023. Each time I spoke with the same person. Never once did they object to that and gave me any warning nor informed me that there would be a time limit on holds. Then when I found it increasingly difficult to come back, I asked if I could transfer my membership to someone else or perhaps get a partial refund or if there were any other options. I did not get a reply. I assumed that was a "no" even though they made an exception and allowed my friend to have her membership transferred. So I thought my membership would just stay on hold as it currently was since I wasn't informed otherwise. Now that COVID has subsided and my work slowed down a little, I was comfortable with returning again. I contacted them again and asked to resume my membership. They told me that since a lot of time has passed I can no longer use my membership anymore and that if I wanted to return, I have to pay for a new membership all over again. And the only thing they would do for me is to take $15 off their monthly fee lol however they had already raised their fees substantially. In 2020, I paid $125/month which included bootcamp (it's $92/month without bootcamp) and now they raised it to $160 per month! Keep in mind, I did not use any months of that 1 year membership I had with them because I bought it right before the pandemic started. Had I been informed they were going to put a time limit on how long I could hold my membership for, I would have made a sacrifice and resumed sooner and go in once a month or something. It would have been better than just throwing out my whole membership completely. They don't lose anything by letting me come back. I would just be coming like once a week since work was still kind of busy but not as crazy as before. It wasn't like I was asking for my money back; I asked if I could just use like 6 months of my membership at least. But no, they just wanted more money from me. Despite the fact that part of the communication issue was definitely their fault, they would not acknowledge it and just cannot be reasoned with. Such terrible business practice... I definitely will not be recommending this club to any more people.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. Coaches are awesome. After just one month I signed up for the year. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who wants to learn self defense and overall fitness.

Fantastic experience: All the coaches are awesome! They offer a variety of martial art with multiple classes throughout the day to accommodate anyone’s schedule.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to train and get/ remain fit. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great for any level of experience.

Fantastic experience: 5 STARS ☆☆☆☆☆ - Top notch classes, especially the KravMaga if youre looking for real world self-defence. FRIENDLY and INFORMATIVE staff. Made my daughter and i feel right at home.

Fantastic experience: Shout out to May for the excellent front desk service and vibes!!

Fantastic experience: We love coming here to work out. I also send my daughter to kids karate on Wednesday evenings with Coach Mash and the kids love it here as well. May at the front desk is so friendly and helpful. It’s a great community feeling here and the boxing coaches are especially amazing…Socrates, Leon, Vince, Pierce. And the owner Joey is great.

Fantastic experience: One of the best if not the best martial arts clubs in the GTA, been going here for a while and am never disappointed with the classes. The coaches and staff constantly push you to do your best. Really love the community as they treat you like family.

Fantastic experience: This gym made me a national champion twice. Shoutout Kru Joey, Kru Dave and May from the front!

Fantastic experience: Best facility. Kru joey is great and so is the entire front desk team!

Negative experience: Worst place to train as a black person… neglect, and racism at its finestb

Positive experience: My kid has been attending classes here for months now. The kid's karate coach is an exemplar of discipline and coaching excellence and deserves a raise for all the incredible work she does and the lasting impact she has on on neurodivergent kiddos like mine. The Jui Jitsu coaches are also pretty good but have less consistency in who is coaching which can add a layer of difficulty for nerodivergents like my son. The front desk staff have also always been really friendly and nice. I would have given the classes 5 stars for the class itself, but the actual facility is seriously lacking in AC (there either is none or they don't turn it on) and the fact that they run really loud and incredibly distracting adult classes simultaneously to the kids classes all in an open concept gym.

Positive experience: It's a good school, good community, good people. Only thing is that they admit that it's a business and if an employee who brings them in a lot of business may act out of line, they're more likely to side with that person. That would be fine had they have been upfront about it from the beginning. The reason I'm only giving three stars is that I had an issue with how class was run (won't go into detail) and the way management handled it was not satisfactory. I felt like I was being blamed (even if they were not saying it). It's not a bad school, it's just according to management, it's a mess right now and I cannot deal with classes that has curriculums that are not organized in a manageable level. I hope at least in the future, new people won't have to deal with what I dealt with and that management can actually improve rather than delegate the responsibility onto their students. Overall, it's an okay school. Maybe when they have their FAQs up and running there would be less misunderstanding in the future.

Fantastic experience: First day...had a great time boxing with coach Matt..he was awesome..patient, clear instructions for a free trial and joined in on a regular boxing class afterEli and Jon were very helpful at reception! Thank you!! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience working with new coach. Nice environment for new people

Fantastic experience: So far, best gym I know. It's a fair price and the coaches there know what they're teaching. I was able to progress faster than I thought I would, especially with one on one coaching with Eli. He helped me improve my technique and fitness a lot faster than regular classes.

Fantastic experience: I joined Kombat Arts back in December and I’ve had nothing but a great experience since joining. They offer a great family oriented environment with amazing coaches, management, and staff. I couldn’t think of a better place to join, whether you are looking for self defence classes, or just looking for a great workout, Kombat Arts has so many different options to choose from. Joey and Socrates are very passionate about what they do and you can see it passed on through the rest of the staff. Do yourself a favour and join Kombat Arts

Positive experience: Good gym but it has been extremely difficult to end a month-to-month contract. Extremely unresponsive staff (no response) after trying to contact their team many times over the span of two months.

Fantastic experience: I really like Kombat Arts Gym for kids who want to learn karate and jiu-jitsu. My son goes there and he's doing great. The coaches are awesome because they pay attention to each kid and help them a lot. I want to thank Coach Mash, who teaches karate. She's really good at making the kids disciplined and work together. I asked her to give my autistic child private lessons, and it's been amazing. In the last 9 months, my child has gotten a lot better thanks to Coach Mash's special way of teaching. Coach Mash is a great teacher who cares a lot about her students, especially those who need extra help. Kombat Arts Gym is lucky to have her.

Fantastic experience: Kombat is an amazing gym! Very clean and organized. Everyone in the gym is so friendly, accepting and welcoming. A huge shoutout to Muay Thai Kru Brad! I would totally recommend training with Brad.

Fantastic experience: Staff is very friendly, inviting, patient and informative. The free intro sessions are extremely helpful to understand offerings prior to making a commitment. Great overall experience

Fantastic experience: Personally the first thing I noticed walking into the gym was that there were no extreme pungent smells. The facility has plenty of wipes to disinfect your feet as well as your equipment. As for reception staff, most are trainers, coaches, members, etc. All are welcoming, patient, attentive, and have amazing customer service. Structure of the training programs follows a solid syllabus that helps hone a certain technique within a month. Each routine is explained with intent and effectiveness. Kombat Arts is very well structured and due to that, I have a long-term membership with them.

Fantastic experience: Coach Eli is the best. A young man with lots of boxing knowledge. Anyone looking to get into boxing, ask for Coach Eli.

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Eli, I feel very confident in my boxing and in myself!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming for about 4 months now and been doing private sessions with Elijah, he has improved my game drastically. Also has helped me with weight loss with lots of cardio and pushing me to be better! Couldn’t recommend Elijah enough!

Fantastic experience: Training with coach Eli is truly changing. Changed my life after my motor accident providing me with a new passion. The number one coach.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, Omer welcomed me in. Showed me the process from the beginning and also even recommended me some good classes to attend to. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Kombat Arts Training Academy is one of the places where a person can throw everything away and focus on his development with great people. Sensei Joey, Kru Brad, Coach Rob is just part of this great place where everyone wants to really help you and make you the best version of yourself. I can't forget the professional team that also cares about this place and maintains a great atmosphere in it, Omer, Elijah and John make it very fun to enter the club. The workouts themselves are very good and at a super sports level. I sincerely recommend! Bart

Fantastic experience: I work with and do private lessons with coach Eli. In just a couple months I felt myself improving at a surprisingly fast rate. Due to Eli''s experience as a fighter and his technicality, he knows proper form and footwork and is excellent at applying it in his private lessons to the client, making them grow on their boxing journey. With 4 months of doing private lessons once a week I was able to take my boxing level to the next level and begin to spar. I seriously recommend checking him and his coaching out if you are serious about learning how to fight and improve your skills!

Fantastic experience: Shout out my dawgs Elijah, Pierce, and all the other coaches at Kombat Arts, for elevating my boxing game.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing private boxing training sessions with Coach Eli at the gym for about 5 months now and the rate at which he helped me to excel is phenomenal. I say this based off peer acknowledgement and just overall how I feel when I’m practicing.

Fantastic experience: had a session with coach eli it was helpful and he had good insights

Fantastic experience: I recently had a private boxing session with Coach Eli and it was great. I currently train Muay Thai, and while I expected there to be some crossover between the two sports, I did not expect the drastic changes in footwork. Coach Eli broke things down for me, step by step, and really made the session worth my time. Eli is a fantastic coach who is very technical, but also knows how to keep things simple. I'll definitely be back for another session

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of this facility since February. I chose this one because of the variety of class times, which is good for shift workers. I attend the mixed level, beginner Muay Thai, and strength and conditioning classes. All the coaches seem passionate about teaching and they have a good sense of humour. The other gym members are helpful and nice too. The gym is pretty busy; I was initially overwhelmed but Kombat staff May made me feel welcomed since day 1. She participates in the classes and helps me with my techniques. She also cheers everyone on and creates a positive environment. Overall, this gym has been good for my learning, physical fitness, and work schedule. The staff and gym members are great and it’s been fun as well

Fantastic experience: Friendly, welcoming, and family-oriented club. The instructors here truly care about their students’ progress, and are all very professional.

Fantastic experience: Getting personal training with Rob here, excellent gym with good vibes to keep you motivated! And coach Rob is the best!

Fantastic experience: Great one-on-one boxing session with Coach Eli. He provided tailored instruction and demonstration, pushing me to improve on my technique . Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their skills in a personalized setting

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Coach Eli for Boxing! His deep knowledge and passion for the sport is evident in every session. He’s very good at identifying your strengths and weaknesses, then tailoring your training to address them effectively. Thanks to him, I’ve evolved from an absolute beginner to having solid boxing skills and real confidence in my ability.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Kombat for the last three years , This place is more than just a gym its family. The coaches and other fighters really want you to succeed. Sensi Joey , Kru David , Kru Kevin , Kru Brad and David beckles and many of the other coaches have thought me qualities inside and out the gym not just being a fighter but being a role model for others as well , and I really could never thank them enough they shaped the way I view myself and others around me . Big Thank You to the staff at Kombat arts as well you guys are Fantastic <3

Fantastic experience: Kombat is a great place to join whether you’re a beginner or someone experienced. I specifically like Eli’s class as he adapts to experienced level boxers and beginners allowing a place for growth for everyone

Negative experience: Not a good experience when I did my trial, main instructor was rude about how payments would work, staff only seemed interested in getting you to sign up fully. Classes are huge, if you're only signing up for cardio, great. However to perfect technique, smaller classes are preferred. Do not recommend for serious martial artists or beginners.

Negative experience: Some coaches act unprofessional and make inappropriate comments. Disappointed in this facility won't be returning. They seem to speak how ever they want to customers and make radicalized remarks to people! To keep it simple just seems to be a racist gym!

Fantastic experience: Elijah Baltazar is a phenomenal coach and I can’t recommend him enough! My son has always struggled with bullying in school since he is usually one of the smaller boys in class. But just after a few months of classes with Coach Elijah, I clearly see that my son has gained discipline and confidence. I’m so glad with coach Elijah’s professionalism and care that he puts into every single one of his students.

Fantastic experience: Elijah was the best boxing coach for my two sons! I highly recommend going to Kombat Arts and if you NEED a boxing coach definitely give coach Elijah a try!!

Fantastic experience: Love the boxing here! Shoutout to Coach Eli for training me and helping me sign up.

Fantastic experience: Coach Eli is fantastic!! Teaches awesome classes Monday and Thursday 7:30pm and made signing up very easy :)

Fantastic experience: Training with coach Eli has been phenomenal. Teaches strong fundamentals while making it fun. Highly recommend him!

Negative experience: I came with my son to check it out and I was interested if the price for beginner kids was prorated because I can't justify paying the same price as the senior kids classes. My son would only have access to 2 days/week (only on weekends) as a beginner but paying the same price as the yellow belt kids, for example, who have access essentially every day of the week. Make it make sense. The guy at the front desk agreed it didn't make sense either.

Fantastic experience: Kombat Arts is one of the best gyms in Mississauga. Really love that when you walk in you feel like it's a community. Very family oriented and all the trainers are extremely professional. May made the experience worth joining. She helped correct my form and posture while striking something I or other gyms didn't really pay attention to before. I really appreciate May and all the trainers expertise there. They were humble, patient and very welcoming. I recommend this gym to beginners and experienced fighters

Fantastic experience: This is such a phenomenal gym and facility. I came here to try out their beginners Mau Thai class, as a drop in and I had a very good experience. The gym itself is absolute huge, as it is able to facilitate several classes at once. I saw numerous activities taking place in parallel like bootcamp style workouts, weight lifting as well as boxing practice. There is a lot of variety here to offer. The practice itself was very well organized and developed to make attendees comfortable, there were at least 6 other drop in attendees coming to this gym as first timers as well. The gym has various Mat's and seems clean and orderly. Even the change rooms and washrooms were noticeably clean and well organized. If I lived in the area I would definitely see myself coming here as a regular attendee!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Kombat Arts! They are in a very convenient location, they have expert and outstanding trainers and the facility is amazing! A special thanks to coach Soc and Omar for setting up and assisting my son’s first martial arts training. It was an excellent start!

Fantastic experience: Great place, knowledgeable instructors. Ali at the front desk is great too!

Fantastic experience: Socrates Celestial has always treated me well and offered advice to me. Same with Joey. These men are warriors and veterans of the martial arts world. I highly recommend Kombat Arts

Negative experience: Seems like a fine gym but having a two month cancellation notice/buy out is very predatory. I have not been able to attend at all due to my work schedule and once I try to cancel I am informed of their predatory business practice of having a two month buy out for cancellation. Essentially, if you cancel you must pay out two months of membership fees. This was not communicated to me properly but either way a predatory business practice. The quality of the gym and everything else I can't say I have much experience with but the fact they have this policy means I cannot in good faith recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: My son takes karate and Jiu Jitsu classes here and I couldn't be happier. Coach Mash is amazing with the kids. It's only been 2 months and I can already see a huge improvement in my son's skills and confidence. I would highly recommend joining this gym.

Fantastic experience: Gym is great. I did an intro class with May and she was an amazing coach, she was very fun and made the first class fun while still being disciplined and teaching us properly. I highly recommend doing an intro to striking class with May if it’s your first time. Ended up having a great experience and signed up after the trial!

Fantastic experience: Ive always wanted to Join Kombat Arts Academy. I knew since i started martial arts i truly belong to this facility and i finally joined in today. Soc was super helpful with me and offered me a great service and opportunity and joined in for the intro class for Muay Thai which Joey was leading. Joey was an excellent coach and he really does pay attention to every single one in the class and always offers help with techniques and all. All i can say is that it took me three years deciding to sign up and I’ve wasted so much time by not doing since day one, so plz dont do like i did. Come try a class meet the people here and i promise u that u will love it and sign up!!

Fantastic experience: Great experience at Kombat arts, if anybody is will to sign up, speak to Eli, he knows what’s up.

Fantastic experience: Great experience all around! Eli and joey were just a few names of the great people there. They will make you feel at home.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to learn some self defence skills. I took the 2 free trials led by Joey and May. Both exceptional teachers and will leave you hungry for more. The place has a strong community feel and newbies are welcomed right in. After each class you leave with a stronger skillset, confident attitude and a couple more friends. Highly recommend! -the accountant

Fantastic experience: When I visited there was a worker named Ali who was very friendly and helped me understand everything I needed to know. He was an amazing employee

Fantastic experience: Loved this gym, very friendly, and clean. There was this worker Ali he was incredibly helpful even though I was a beginner. Also the coaches were very nice.

Fantastic experience: Top gym in sauga! Coaches are willing to help you achieve anything and the safe are amazing. Overall the gym has a sense of community that make this place feel like home. Highly recommend joining!

Fantastic experience: Kombat Arts is a hub for all people with varying levels of interest and skill to come together as a community and learn, practice, and develop their abilities in multiple disciplines from expert trainers and coaches. I prefer this environment to the typical impersonal cookie cutter Globo gym world. I’ve made friends here. Bring my family to just workout sometimes. Watched professional boxing matches. I’m really glad that I discovered this hidden gem.

Fantastic experience: Great location full of coaches that will make you want to chase and work for a better you! Welcoming community and I'd recommend trying the spot out! Edit 2024 Came back a few months after being away to do some privates work, and I would thoroughly recommend working coach Eli! Very technical and IQ based approach that I was looking to add to my boxing. Definitely try it out!

Fantastic experience: With no prior experience in boxing, I joined the gym just to try it out and I loved it. Mainly because of the welcoming community of kombat and great coaches. There are classes that cater to every level of experience and there is always something new to learn. Whether you’re looking for a good workout (best workout of your life) or to become competition ready, this is the place to be. Shoutout to coaches Pierce, Matt, Ron and Soc!

Fantastic experience: Kombat has been a great place for me to improve myself and gain knowledge. They have great instructors and a wide variety of arts to learn from. From muay thai to boxing and kali. It is always challenging and the conditioning really puts you to work. I would highly recommend you try Kombat.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train and coaches/instructors are amazing!!

Fantastic experience: Kombat arts is a great place to train and learn various martial arts! The coaches are the best and everyone feels like family :)

Fantastic experience: Great place to train. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and it is a positive community to be around!

Fantastic experience: This place is the best. Get in shape, train with amazing coaches, and be around great people. And your whole family can come there and feel comfortable too.

Fantastic experience: This gym has the best atmosphere and coaches on the planet! The level of expertise and consistency with coaching is incredible. People that come together to train, grow and support each other are a huge inspiration. I can’t be more happy to be a part of Kombat Arts community and I can’t wait to go for the next training!
