There’s a specific look every boxing athlete gives when they absolutely know when they gave a performance that the judges just could not refute. Congratulations Emily W. on your return to the ring after your post secondary studies with such a dominating performance.

🥋 A little personal note as we head into a new school year at the Den…

One of our most favourite aspects of Dragon’s Den Elite is watching our students grow — not just in their martial combatives, but in confidence, discipline and maturity in who they are becoming.

Some students train hard all summer and kept that routine going, knowing that life has pulled them in a new direction (for many post secondary studies locally, provincially and nationally and military service or law enforcement institutional learning) and we’re really proud of their work ethic and preparation they put in during their tenure with us. We see it. 👊

Now as September rolls around we’re getting ready to settle back into our regular routines, set new goals and keep moving forward.

We’re so excited (and thankful) to see all the familiar faces back on the mats and to welcome some new ones that will become the latest recruits to the Dragon’s Den Elite team too.

Here’s to another great year at Dragon’s Den
Elite Combat Sports and Self Defense Academy. More precious memories to be made as we head into our 37th year. 💙

One of the main reasons why law enforcement, border services and correctional officers need ANY type of combative sport or martial training. Physical maintenance including the acquisition of functional attributes goes a long way in coping with the rigours of the job. Just a piece of advice having had the privilege of training, instructing and providing a much needed outlet to front line personnel over these many decades.
