Guelph Family Martial Arts

Guelph Family Martial Arts Voted #1 in the area, classes available Tuesday-Saturday. Programs for children 3 years and older

Programs available for all ages

Knee High Ninjas (3.5-6yrs)
The Knee High Ninjas Program is a fun filled and positive learning experience for small martial artists. The martial arts program is for preschoolers, kindergartners and first graders. Our Knee High Ninja Program strengthens the development of basic good habits such as focus, concentration, cooperating with others, respect for yourself a

nd others, self control and self discipline. While children will be learning solid martial arts basics, they will also be enhancing their motor skills and coordination, as well as the Guelph Family Martial Arts to anti-bullying: which is developing tremendous self confidence and discipline. Youth Program
Combining physical exercise, motor skill development, martial arts and life skills training, the curriculum is designed to build confidence and character and the ability to stand up to negative peer pressure and making positive choices. The importance of this is that it develops the principle of goal setting. The awarding of higher levels of belts gives your child a sense of achievement and accomplishment. Adult Program (16+)
Our adult program is designed to help adults train their mind, body and spirit. Our curriculum will help manage stress, improve mental clarity and increase flexibility while learning valuable self defense. Aero-Kickboxing Program (16+)
Aero-kickboxing is more than a pure cardio event; it lets you release pent-up tension, improves your balance and strengthens your core to the beat of the music! The GFMA Aero program brings practical aspects of self defense techniques to a bag blasting powerhouse of a workout that is so much fun, that once a week will not be enough!

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, cheered on our team, and showed their support. We’re grateful to be part of such an amazing community! ❤️

🇨🇦🥋 Honoured to meet with Shadow Minister for Sport, MP Ned Kuruc!!

We had a fantastic conversation about the impact of sport across Canada, the dedication behind high-level competition, and the importance of creating opportunities for the next generation of athletes and the positive impacts of sport and a healthy active lifestyle.

It was also a great opportunity to share more about Guelph Family Martial Arts and our commitment to using martial arts as a vehicle to develop and instill valuable life skills — confidence, discipline, respect, perseverance, leadership, and resilience — that extend far beyond the martial arts studio. Martial arts is life changing!

Thank you, MP Kuruc, for the warm welcome and meaningful conversation. We truly appreciate your time and your commitment to supporting sport across Canada.

Proud to represent our community, province, and country. 🇨🇦❤️🥋

A great visit with the Youth Wellness Hubs Wellington-Guelph! 💙

We really enjoyed learning more about the work being done to support youth across our community and discussing ways we can work together moving forward.

There’s a lot of alignment in what we’re both trying to accomplish—helping young people build confidence, develop leadership skills, stay active and feel connected to their community.

We’re looking forward to what we can do together!! ❤️
