Congratulations to Alisa and Fakhri on the birth of their daughter Emily. Fakhri is one of our Black Belts and Alisa is a green belt. Their older daughter Kamilla is also a green belt. Congratulations once again to the whole family.

My aim is to keep this website informative and interesting and will cover all the different martial arts of Taekwondo, Karate, Kung Fu, Reality Based Self Defense and of course MMA. There is much to be said about MMA which needs a full chapter to itself. Work is ongoing and come back for more about MMA.

Lately I have been receiving emails and inquiries from international visitors and would like to inform all dedicated martial arts practitioners visiting our website that you are always welcome to train with us as my guest, if ever you visit Canada regardless of Style or Martial Arts Discipline

Thailand World Kumite Championships

The World Kumite Championships has officially announced that the 2009 Tournament set for Sunday, October 18th. in Pattaya, Thailand has been postponed to March 9th 2010. For more details click on the WKO website icon.

This year we have a fighter Omar Dixon in the under 75kg weight class, from our Caribbean Division of the Cayman Islands. Omar is a student of Master Steve Graham, long time student and close friend of Master Ooi. Master Graham will also be at the WKO Championships this year in Thailand. We expect more fighters coming from our Caribbean Divisions in future WKO Tournaments.
As the official WKO representative for Canada and also for all International Ooi's Taekwondo Divisions, I am inviting all martial artists of every martial arts discipline (Karate, Kungfu, Taekwondo)in Canada, to be part of this event which will be held in Thailand annually. All successful candidates will have airfare and hotel paid for, if selected to represent Canada.

Children & The Martial Arts in Mississauga

We recognize the trend for younger kids to be invloved in the martial arts, and in all of our 3 locations, we have the KinderKicks program. Do remember that Martial Arts Centers are not and should not be Day Care! We are not a Day Care! If you need Day Care go to a properly licenced and trained Day Care facility with licenced & certified Day Care providers.

Our KinderKicks program is specially designed for our younger members (3-6 years), to be introduced to the martial arts, in a lighter atmosphere with some degree of fun. Parents are not discouraged to be present at the child's lesson, however if we find it is detrimental to the child's progress, we recommend staying out of sight. Sometimes we get the parent to join in and interact with the child, especially when the child is not confident to be by him/herself. Discipline is always expected, and is gradually introduced to the child. The lessons are structured towards building confidence, coordination, balance, focus, taking instruction, fitness etc. It would be much easier for us to simply keep the kids happy with just play activity, as in a Day Care, but you chose the martial arts for what it can do for your child and that is what we intend to do. Know that since the kids are as young as 3 years old, it will take at least 2-3 months before you see any progress in your child. At that age, the child simply has no real concept of what is being taught and our objectives are just to introduce the child to structure and developing motor skills. Do not expect too much and if you do not overindulge your child, by about the 4th month you should be able to see progress.
