Battle Arts Academy

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever

Fantastic experience: Came in just to see the operation and get a feel for if this is the place where I want to restart my bjj journey. The afternoon class was starting and the coach took the time even after showing a move to the students to talk to me. He welcomed me after I sort of explained story and why I left bjj. He told me I could come in for a week to see if I like it. Right then and there i knew this was the place I want to be. Signed up right then and there and will be starting this Friday 11/01/2024!

Negative experience: Decent kids program and facilities but the kid's coach thinks he's John Danaher and sandbags the competitors so they can win medals. So you have competitive 2 year white belts smashing higher belt non-competitors. It's completely ridiculous. It's a kids program, not Renzo's New Wave.

Negative experience: Was a great gym. The owner is an awesome guy. They have great No Gi classes, awesome wrestling, and other fun MMA classes. However, the Gi BJJ classes were very on & off. My time here, I had 4 different BJJ coaches leave. Also, not happy about the Sunday open mat being removed. Other things to note, the A/C is not that strong and the weights are a bit old. If you're looking for a nice, big gym for MMA/wrestling/pro-wrestling/No-Gi. This is a good gym. If you're a Gi BJJ practioner, would not recommend it as much. Fun gym nonetheless.

Fantastic experience: Konstantin is a very nice guy and he is very patient. It was a pleasure working with him and I would recommend him to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Good coaching

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming and informative staff, especially the manager. I felt like home ! Tried out bjj nogi today and the coach was super chill and technical. Over all one of the best experience so far. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Scarlett and Rafael Delgado have been my friends for well over 10 years. Their experience in boxing is international and at the highest level. They have touched and changed the way I look at the sport of boxing many times over the years.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Has that community feel that often gets lost in this urban jungle. Five stars because this place is just so down to earth and filled with quality.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and coaching! Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been a part of Battle Arts Academy for some time now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience for both myself and my three children. The level of instruction and dedication from the coaching staff is truly exceptional. They create a supportive and challenging environment that fosters growth not only in wrestling but also in character. The facilities are top-notch, providing a safe and professional space for training. The camaraderie among the students is inspiring, and it's clear that the academy prioritizes a sense of community. Battle Arts Academy has not only helped my children improve their wrestling skills but has also taught them valuable life lessons about discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. I highly recommend Battle Arts Academy to anyone looking to excel in the world of wrestling while being a part of an incredible community

Fantastic experience: What a place to go and learn. Has everything you need no matter your experience. Coaching is top notch and definately a world class facility

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the GTA!

Fantastic experience: Best BJJ and MMA training in the area!

Fantastic experience: Best MMA gym around. Tyson is the best trainer in the gym.

Negative experience: Really dirty and skin infections

Fantastic experience: I started my first martial art (Jiu-Jitsu) in January at Battle Arts and I am glad I did. The environment created by the professors and the members have only been a welcoming/positive experience. They are extremely knowledgeable with their craft as they provide detailed instructions on the specific movements taught in class. They also take the time to analyze and help students while they are practicing to help adjust minor details in proper form which I have found to be extremely helpful in my development! Needless to say, I would totally recommend anyone who is looking for a gym that provides excellent service and coaching!

Fantastic experience: Awesome Facility. Almost like a second family for me there

Fantastic experience: Thank you Battle Arts!!! Happy Family Day

Fantastic experience: An amazing facility located in Mississauga. Weight room, Jiu jitsu, pro wrestling, amateur wrestling, group fitness classes, and so much more. If you live in the GTA battle arts is definitely the place to go to get in shape!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful, clean location and really knowledgeable bjj instructors. The friendly atmosphere doesn’t hurt either

Fantastic experience: Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Amazing equipment and the gym is always clean which is just as important. Proud member of Battle Arts Academy

Fantastic experience: 10/10 just perfect!

Fantastic experience: Top quality coaching. Friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: My kids have been attending since opening day. The coaches are so friendly and amazing, they make sure every one is included and having fun, always such a fun positive upbeat time. I personally just started the circut training class, such a fun positive class, you dont feel pressured that you have to keep up, you go at your own pace, you always get positivity and encouragement, and always treated like family. I would not think of any other gym to be a part of.

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming. Clean and good vibe. Great coaches.

Fantastic experience: I started my martial arts journey at Battle Arts Academy 8 months ago. My primary focus is Muay Thai and MMA Grappling. The highlight of my day is having the opportunity to train at BAA. I consider it my second home. The culture is like no other. Everyone is like-minded, always ready to work hard and push one another past their limit. Sparring is utilized in almost every class. It is very technical meaning a beginner can spar with an expert and both practice and learn without getting injured. One of my favourite aspects about BAA is knowing most members on a first-name basis. You have the chance to socialize before and after training which is uncommon in most facilities. If you want to learn lifelong skills and get into phenomenal shape you should consider joining Battle Arts Academy.

Fantastic experience: My kids went to camp here and had the BEST TIME. The staff were amazing, spending time with each of my kids, and giving them an awesome experience. Owners are approachable and helpful. I highly recommend Battle Arts Academy!!

Positive experience: Very nice gym. People are nice. Programs are amazing. Only complaints are the lack of toilet paper, hand towels, cleaning apparatuses for the gym equipment. No phone-in lines to check the hours for the gym or for genral inquires. Lots of petty theft. Have gotten tapes, shoelaces and other things stolen here.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, great coaching and staff, excellent community.

Negative experience: Worst service! They make Customers wait wilile they have personal conversations. I was standing there for 10 min while asking for assistance everyone was looking at me and keep saying 1 minute, the place is completely empty. I believe because I am a colored man they ignored me! If you don't want to be discriminated against Don,then go to BATTLE ARTS ACADEMY!!

Fantastic experience: Never had a place do so much for me.

Fantastic experience: They host local independent professional wrestling. One of the best in the business.

Fantastic experience: Very clean and great atmosphere. For a person looking to get into fitness, BAA is the best. The best part is they have MMA, BJJ, Muay Thai, wrestling and cross fit all under 1 roof. The coaches are very knowledgable and supportive.

Fantastic experience: My second home

Fantastic experience: Great gym. If you want to get in shape and really learn mma, this is the place to be. Friendly staff, clean gym.

Fantastic experience: Knowing the caliber of coaches and the fact the facility is designed for training in combat sports, this was an easy decision for me to sign up. My hope is that they will expand their schedules on weekends and late nights. Wrestling, Pro wrestling, boxing, kick boxing, BJJ ...so much to do just gotta make time to do it. Coaches are super good at what they do.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere....

Fantastic experience: Great places to learn Muay Thai. Friendly service and Amazing Instructors.

Fantastic experience: This place rules. That is all.

Fantastic experience: I love this place i went there for almost four years very supportive and down to earth trainer best environment to workout

Fantastic experience: I've trained here for a number of years and the facility is top notch. There's also an incredible atmosphere. The best part is the wide variety of training styles offered. Judo, Jujitsu, Boxing, Wrestling, Boot Camp - all for one membership. I would fully recommend if you are looking for something different for your physical activity. Also great if you're looking to get started and are having trouble getting motivated!

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility. A fun place to get in shape and meet new people.

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn kick boxing, mma, special trining for ladies and kids as well Self Defense classes, weight loss

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility and staff. I had the pleasure to train there for a week and couldn't get enough of it. What sticks out is the excitement you feel when you're inside there. Everyone is having a good time and enthusiastic. Couldn't recommend it enough. Looking forward to coming back!

Fantastic experience: Great clean facility with a well rounded schedule! They have something for everyone whether you're looking to take on a combat sport or simply get in better shape. Also a great idea to hold kids classes at the same time as adult classes, such a great environment to get fit and stay active as a family. They also have a sweet multi functional workout area if you choose to workout on your own.

Fantastic experience: New to town I'll give this a go. Feeling confident.

Fantastic experience: simply amazing place

Fantastic experience: Battle Arts Academy & Fitness is a 1 stop shop for all things fitness for all ages and levels. Here you will find strength training, judo, boxing, wrestling, fitness classes, and the list goes on! A great place for anyone looking at getting in shape and having fun while doing it.

Negative experience: I brought my 16 year old son here to try it out as we were thinking of getting him in for years. We finally came in and the instructor for the class he wanted to try out was on vacation and they weren't sure when he will be back and there were no replacement for that class (which seemed unorganized) about 3 weeks later I was told he was back so we went again. Knowing that this was our second time there to try it out and after a few calls one would think that we were very interested and would have joined the club....therefore do everything they can to make that trial visit comfortable and inclusive. My son is a shy teenager easily embarrassed especial trying something for the first time in an environment where everyone seemed to have a place. I asked the girl at the front desk where his class was taking place as there were different sections she just pointed to an area...my son shyly went up to the instructor and was told that he wasn't in the right class. Of coarse he came up to me embarrassed that I just sent him to the wrong class (after asking exactly where he was supposed to go to prevent this from happening...I really wanted him to have a good experience) Then I asked the girl to leave the desk to show me exactly where he is supposed to go...she said Jamal's class . THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME HERE...How are we supposed to know who Jamal is? The instructors are dressed like everyone else which doesn't help. So I said : "Who's Jamal?" Jamal walked by at the moment and she told him that my son will be joining his class to try it out....he said "Ok" and continued walking. My son looks at me and I said follow him. At first I wasn't going to stay to watch, as my son probably wouldn't want me to but since this obviously wasn't starting off good I decided to stay. Not once did the instructor approach my son either to correct him or show him a move NOTHING. When everyone in the class went to get some equipment chin pads and boxing gloves....which there wasn't any pairs of anything left...not one person asked my son if he needed help finding anything so he didn't use any equipment. I know that if there was someone new in my workout class, first of all a new person is pretty obvious, my gym mates and I would forsure help that person get whatever they need and make them comfortable. I could go on and on about things that went wrong. This is my first review EVER for anything but I had to say something. My son at the end of the class said "I'm not coming back!" and I wasn't surprised and completely agreed with him. On our way out no one asked how it went... For people who are regulars there they looked very happy and comfortable but for a new person you feel completely out of place and not welcomed. I was so disappointed as he quit soccer to try something new and was counting on this place being it. Very disappointing!

Fantastic experience: Best wrestling and martial arts experience in the GTA!! Highly recommend you check it out!

Fantastic experience: Great classes, we joined as a family. There is something for everyone. Staff is polite and professional. Definitely try this place out if you get the chance.

Fantastic experience: great place to work out with amazing trainers and staff who really care about getting you into the shape you want to be in or learn the skills you want i highly recommend it for anyone looking for a gym for personal or group activities.

Negative experience: I had called a few weeks ago. Inquiring about their Olympic wrestling class. I had spoken to Andrew over the phone and I had clearly stated that I’m a complete beginner in my 20s and never have done wrestling. And he had told me that there are lots of kids but t from time to time adults show up to the Olympic wrestlin and has said the coaches will take the time to teach you if a complete beginner. I kept on confirming that it would be ok to go as a adult as I didn’t want to waste my time. So I show up on June 13 today to show up to a Olympic wrestling class for them to then tell me that class is not for beginners. If I had been told this the first time. I would have never came at all. Not a great impression for a first timer. I had actually gotten recommended from a well known wrestler in high rank. And was disappointed to hear this when I told him. I will never go back. If you want to waste your time and get incorrect information go hear.

Fantastic experience: Great Facility !

Fantastic experience: Transitioning to the WWE Performance Center has been smooth, thanks to Battle Arts Academy. Tony Wallace's kettle bell classes and JP's power & performance classes got me into the best shape of my life. I had never done kettle bells before, but Tony was GREAT in teaching all the exercises and correcting my form every step of the way. Yuki Ishikawa - along with the judo, striking, and freestyle wrestling coaches - took my pro wrestling game to a whole other level.

Fantastic experience: My son (8 years old) has been attending the Kids Judo program for the past month and he absolutely LOVES it! If you’re looking to improve your child’s self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-defense skills this is the place to go. Anthony is AMAZING with the kids, and you can see that he genuinely cares about the progress of his students. I could not be happier with Battle Arts Academy, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a Kids Judo program in Mississauga.

Fantastic experience: I train kettlebells with TONY WALLACE. He is a fantastic instructor. His programs are tough, but he encourages you to go at your own pace. Since training with TONY, my strength has increased. I've also been able to lose weight and improve my overall fitness as TONY pairs cardio with kettlebells. I recommend TONY WALLACE's kettlebell classes to anyone looking to increase their strength, improve their cardio, looking to lose weight and improve their overall fitness.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love working out at Battle Arts Academy, especially Tony Wallace's Kettlebell class on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Kettlebell training has improved my overall strength, helped me lose weight and allievate my lower back pain. The class also has really nice group of regulars. I also recommend training with Konga. He's a great trainer too.

Fantastic experience: My family have been training at Battle Arts Academy for about a year now... I find all the staff and instructors very professional and polite. I really enjoy kettlebell classes with Tony Wallace. I usually take his classes twice a week and he's always changes it up so it doesn't get boring with the same routine. He also likes to spend some extra time with the newer students to make sure they are using the correct form and weight so they do not hurt themselves. This is a world class gym

Fantastic experience: I train 1:1 BOXING SESSIONS with coach TONY WALLACE... I have nothing but great things to say about my experience training with Tony. I have trained with many coaches and he is one of the best! He challenges me and pushes me past my own limitations which is something I look for in a great coach. He has improved my boxing technique tremendously since training with him and I feel myself improving each time. He's a very positive person which makes me feel welcome every time I come in and I always leave my sessions feeling more alive and motivated to take on whatever I need to.

Fantastic experience: I am a new member at this gym, I've done 3 days so far in 2 days. I absolutely loved the kettlebell class! the instructor/trainer was named TONY. he did a great job, explained all the techniques of how to successfully complete every exercise . I really enjoyed his class!!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful staff and clients. Very professional a unique experience. Membership gives you so much that you would have to go to 3 or 4 facilities to get the same classes at a lesser quality. Excellent!

Fantastic experience: A very unique experience. I am in 40's and working out with the BAA staff has allowed me to be pain free for the 1st time years. I've had a bad back and hip for a long time. The class sessions are amazing and the trainers are by far the most knowledgeable I've ever worked with. Give this place a try.

Negative experience: BAD EXPERIENCE WITH KETTLEBELL INSTRUCTOR - TONY IS HIS NAME I THINK, ONLY PAYS ATTENTION TO HIS SMALL GROUP OF MORE EXPERIENCED PARTICIPANTS DIDN'T FEEL WELCOME , SO I DIDN'T JOIN I WONT DO KETTLEBELL AGAIN.

Fantastic experience: LOVE IT !!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility ! Anthony and Yuki are two of the best people you will ever meet. Any age, any skill level welcome. Did not need to worry about being a complete beginner. Honestly worth the drive to Mississauga.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a group of people who will encourage and motivate you than this is the place! Not only does the former WWE Tag Team Champion, United States Champion, and European Champion Santino Marella own and operate the gym but there are a ton of other talented people that make this place the #1 GYM! Whether you want to do bootcamp, kickboxing classes, boxing classes, wrestling, PRO Wrestling, Judo, Muay Thai... the list goes on!!! Clean, fun, friendly and phenomenal! Come for a complimentary class and find out what thousands already know. ;)

Fantastic experience: you feel like family, i love them.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Battle Arts Academy to anyone who is looking to get results from their workouts.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Battle Arts with Steven J. Wong for about a month and a half now. I was looking for something more than just a regular gym and wanted more than just a regular trainer; Battle Arts provided both! When I first started I had been sedentary for almost 5 years, and in under 45 days have experienced visible weight loss (all my clothes fit better!!!) and muscle gain. Working with Steven directly has been a truly transformative experience. He understands how to train the best of the best as proven by the professional athletes in his client roster. Most importantly, he knows how to help you build your mental strength and that is why I commute the hour to hour and a half (with traffic) for my training. If you're looking for the leaders in human performance training and a one-of-a-kind experience, you've got to check them out! They'll get you to the next level and in a fun way!

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about Battle Arts Academy! I've been working out there for 2 months now. They have all of the equipment you'd expect to find at a top notch gym but also have a lot of cool extras like battle ropes, hanging ropes to climb, kettle bells, etc. So far, most of my training has been with Steven Wong, an awesome personal trainer and founder of the gym. I live close to an hour away so it's a bit of a drive in but I'm always glad to have made the trip when I'm driving home after a solid workout. I haven't tried any of the classes yet but I'm looking forward to trying out some beginner MMA, boxing and kettle bell classes in the future.
