Expérience fantastique: I am new to the black belt institute, and my son just loves it. It is a very friendly vibe and the instructors are great. Every class he goes to there is always more then enough instructors to help teach. There was a tournament that just took place and it was great. Very good organization, and Alex at the front always greets us with a smile!! I will continue there as my son loves it and is making great progress.
Expérience fantastique: I took my boys one day for a free try out, and they felt connected with that place and Sensei Brent instantly. Not only do they learn karate, but also respect, discipline and sportsmanship. Their teachers, Brent, Dante and Mark, and the young man who makes that place run, Alex, managed to create a home away from home for these kids. My two boys were never interested in anything for a long time, and now....if they could they would spend their every afternoon at the dojo. They made new friends, gained confidence, learned about winning and losing, and to respect the honor code Sensei Brent thought them. Highly recommended.
Expérience fantastique: Amazing place! Brent runs fun and challenging kickboxing classes for all levels! I love the Impact Wrap software they use so I can track my workout details and progress.
Expérience fantastique: I would highly recommend Black Belt Institute. It is truly best in class. My daughters love the classes they take there. Great for self defence, confidence and physical health and strength. Sensei Brent and Sensei Rachel are super talented and skilled. Sensei Brent has built a great dojo. The classes are well organized and thoughtful (grouped together so you could take 2-3 in a row that make sense if you wanted). The monthly fees are reasonable and flexible.
Expérience fantastique: Amazing place. Took my son to a couple of place before but this one has been the best one by far. Staff is very friendly and professional. Its a very clean environment and staff really care for the kids. Love taking and going every week. Thank you Black Belt Institute.
Expérience fantastique: This is a great place to enhance your physical skills and stamina. My son Jonathan enjoys the group and the leadership of Brent and his staff is excellent ,cordial and friendly
Expérience fantastique: Black Belt Institute is amazing. Sensei Brent is an excellent teacher and is always helping the kids. Everyone that works there is super nice My son learns new things and has fun every class
Expérience fantastique: Both my kids have been with Sensei Brent for over 7 years. Both are Black Belt and very much involved with Sensei at the dojo. The kids love everything about it. Sensei Brent created a friendly, welcoming and fun atmosphere for the kids to learn (Sensei Brent and his team are perfect for the super hyper kids too!) My kids have learned skills beyond karate that they will carry with them the rest of their lives. As a parent, I love seeing how my children have grown into passionate young teenagers, always ready to help at the dojo with the younger kids. I enjoy spending time with the people from the Black Belt Institute. They are all so friendly, helpful, insightful and humble.
Expérience fantastique: Incredible place. The sensei really works with you from the begging to the end of the class and always makes you feel like you are getting better at it. The staff is respectful and makes you feel welcomed.
Expérience fantastique: Welcoming environment and professional coach
Expérience fantastique: Cool
Expérience fantastique: Great training team, very good vibes and positive atmosphere.
Expérience fantastique: I joined the Black Belt Institute(BBI) in the mid 90’s, a single 30something woman in TO, thinking some self-defence skills would be useful, and looking for a new fitness challenge. Maybe not a typical student? After a few sessions I was hooked. The atmosphere established by the instructors (most often Alex Atkinson for my practices, with others, including a young Brent taking the lead from time to time) was welcoming, respectful and fun. It goes without saying that martial arts develops incredible all-round fitness - strength, stamina, flexibility, mental acuity. I was in the best physical shape of my life when I was training. Unexpectedly I also gained from the BBI perseverance, self-control, confidence, respect for others and patience. Also, great friendships! Thrilled to recognize instructors’ names on the fb page - the collective expertise is impressive. If you’re wondering if you or your child should join BBI - take that first step and check it out. Wishing BBI all the best in the new facility!
Expérience fantastique: Both Brent and Alex Atkinson have. wealth of martial arts knowledge and experience. More importantly they have worked extensively with kids right all the way to seniors. They are amazing teachers!
Expérience fantastique: My boys studied with Sensi Brent of the Black Belt Institute. Seriously, best program I ever enrolled them. They loved it! Outstanding customer service. Sensi Brent understands each kid is unique, knows how to meet them "where their at". My boys learned more than just "martial arts". They learned self respect, discipline, compassion, cooperation, social skills, self defence & how to challenge themselves physically & mental. Really can't say enough great things about Sensi Brent & the Institute. Julie
Expérience fantastique: I have been a student of Brent as part of the the Black Belt Institute, as have my two boys. I say without reservation that Brent us the most talented Karate instructor I have ever encountered. Personally and professionally, he is an phenomenal athlete with a rare talent to teach well. So well, in fact, that my two boys remained engaged and enthralled all the way to double black belts. Any parent will know how uncommon that is. And that is just the start. Brent is confident without ego, and selfless with his time and attention. Count yourself lucky to have Brent as an instructor.
Expérience fantastique: Honestly some of the most amazing teachers I've ever studied under. From when I was a child all the way up to being an adult, some of my most amazing memories have been made with the Black Belt Institute
Expérience fantastique: Black Belt Institute instructors are the best of the best. I began my black belt journey reluctantly as an adult in my late forty’s… fast forward 12 years later, I can honestly say, I’ve improved my fitness and able to deal with many stressful situations. Sensei Alex and Brent genuinely care about each student’s individual’s needs and goals. A welcoming environment for everyone! Rochelle CC
Expérience fantastique: The Black Belt Institute was a godsend to me. I learned more than just martial arts. I learned discipline, a competitive spirit, and had great Sensei as role models. Sensei Mike and Linda Cvjetkovich, Walter Jungwirth, John and Alex Atkinson and Jeff Garland all left lasting marks on my life and helped me develop lifelong friendships, still intact decades later. Receiving my Shodan and Nidan at Black Belt institute are accomplishments that I’ve forever treasured. Sensei Brent is continuing a long and distinguished legacy and students should feel privileged to work with such a genuine and caring instructor. You’re in good hands.
Expérience fantastique: I have known Hanshi Alex Atkinson for over 27 years, I trained with him and have a great respect for him as a martial artist, friend and a person you can rely on. I, 200 percent recommend him and his place of training.
Expérience fantastique: BBI is the best. As a female I felt supported and empowered while learning martial arts. These guys treat everyone equally, whether you are a beginner, young or old, or one of the champions in kickboxing or martial arts they have coached.
Expérience fantastique: I have been training with Alex and Brent for several years. If you are looking for top quality martial arts training for you or your family, I highly recommend The Black Belt Institute. Looking forward to training at their new facility.
Expérience fantastique: Brent makes instruction fun and exciting, and I love that he customizes lessons based on skill level and student expectations. My daughter was considering competing but I just wanted a workout, and we have great classes together every week. I can't say enough good things about BBI.
Expérience fantastique: I have been with the Black Belt Institute for many years and have been impressed with their professionalism and their effort to help their students succeed in every aspect of their lives. Truly a second family.
Expérience fantastique: This studio offers generations of knowledgeable, professional, and attentive instructors dedicated to providing you the most effective and informed training. The facilities are spacious and clean, with ample amounts of bags, pads, and training tools. A great place for challenge and discipline!
Expérience fantastique: Great time
Expérience fantastique: I received my black belt under instruction from one of the Canadian karate greats, Alex Atkinson. I also trained for year under the instructionof his gifted son Brent Atkinson. I can't recommend these gentlemen enough - they are both excellent instructors and even better human beings. Whether you are looking to begin a journey into martials arts, or continue your previous training, you cannot make a mistake in training through the BBI.
Expérience fantastique: I began studying martial arts with Alex Atkinson at the Black Belt Institute 30 years ago and continue to this day. Alex is the best martial arts teacher I've every had and probably the best teacher of any topic. It's fabulous to see Brent continue in his footsteps in a new location and bring the iconic Black Belt Institute experience to another generation. I wholeheartedly recommend them!
