I just got my black belt here, and I couldn't be more grateful. It has changed my life for the better in so many ways I can't explain. I am so much more confident and sure of my actions in my day-to-day life. I feel fit and ready to take on anything — and it's because of karate. If you are thinking of enrolling yourself or your kid, do it. Do it now. You will not regret it.

I trained with Shihan Leigh and his team in their karate program in my early teens, and returned to join their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program when I turned 30. My son also trains Karate and Jiu-Jitsu and loves the welcoming environment and the friendships he's built here over the years. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to begin or accelerate their martial arts journey.

Canada's Best Karate has been a huge part of our son's life for almost 10 years. The instructors are supportive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in the success of every student. Beyond learning karate, our son has developed confidence, discipline, and life skills that extend far beyond the dojo. The welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere makes everyone feel like part of a community. We recently enrolled our daughter as well, and she has been warmly welcomed. Highly recommended.

In just a few weeks of attending class, we saw improvements in our son's confidence and focus. The Sempais are very patient and supportive. Shihan Leigh makes sure no one is left out, and most importantly, that everyone enjoys the class. Every time I observe — whether kids, teens, or adults — I see smiles and satisfaction. More power to CBK!

The best karate choice for kids! The instructor is very attentive and does a great job keeping kids focused and engaged throughout the whole class. I love the clear system for earning new belts — it gives kids something to work toward and keeps them motivated. Most importantly, my child actually wants to go and truly enjoys every class.
