What Kanata Families Are Saying About Us

Megan Zhuja
★★★★★
This Dojo is a community where our whole family feels welcome. The dedication Master John and the sensei’s have to teaching our children what hard work, excellent attitudes, discipline and dedication look like are commendable. Our children have become more confident and are young leaders. It shows through their school grades, helping out at home for parents and respecting their elders. We highly recommended this Dojo and the summer karate program to all our friends.

We recently held our son's 6th birthday at Pro-Style Martial Arts. We had the absolute best time. The kids all had a blast. Master John and his Sensei were engaging, great with the kids, and so helpful. The kids' reaction to cutting the cake with the sword was priceless. It was the most fun party we have hosted and the least stressful for the parents too. We would absolutely recommend hosting a party with them!

★★★★★
We recently hosted my 5-year-old son's birthday party at Pro Style Martial Arts, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The team did an outstanding job engaging all the children, providing an interactive and incredibly fun experience filled with non-stop entertainment. The kids, ranging in age from 2 to 11, had an absolute blast, and many even asked their parents to celebrate their next birthday with Master John. The activities catered to all age groups, ensuring everyone was involved and having a great time. They even included the adults, which added to the excitement and energy of the event. If you are considering a venue for your next birthday celebration, look no further. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Master John and Sensei, for creating such a memorable experience.

We had the best experience celebrating my son’s birthday party at the Martial Arts Academy! Master John was incredibly enthusiastic and did an amazing job engaging all the children in fun and interactive activities. The energy, organization, and care put into the event made it truly unforgettable. Thank you for making my son’s special day so wonderful!

Pro-Style Martial Arts has been such an amazing experience for my daughter. Master John and the senseis are patient, encouraging, so skilled at what they do and truly exceptional. They truly care about each student’s progress and take the time to help them grow not just in martial arts, but in confidence and character. My daughter always leaves class feeling proud of what she’s accomplished, and it’s because of the positive and supportive environment master John and his team create. If you’re looking for a dojo where your child can thrive, Pro-Style is the place to be!

We held my first-grader's birthday party here after reading all the great Google reviews and I recommend! The two-hour event was packed with action, joy and music. A couple of preschool aged younger siblings were also able to participate. Master John led the games and Sensei Dina was great at guiding and instructing the kids. Both of them are experienced, positive and energetic; their love of the sport and passion for teaching is apparent. All I had to prepare was dessert and loot bags, which made it a fun time for us, too! I suggest bringing bottled water as they don't include water during the activities (they provided juice boxes during pizza time, and sold additional bottled water). The verdict: smiles all around! Thank you, Master John and Sensei Dina!

We’re new to Pro-Style and our son absolutely loves the classes. We decided to have our son’s birthday party there and were blown away! Master John and Sensei Dina had everyone engaged with fun and exciting activities from the moment the party started. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

★★★★★
Training at Pro-Style Martial Arts for 4+ months so far with my son has been an incredible journey! This Dojo is a gem for both adults and kids – a perfect blend of body, mind, and discipline training. Master John's teachings dive deep into core skills, laying a solid foundation for growth. The Senseïs team is fantastic, and the dojo is buzzing with fun activities for the kids! The best part? Dive into the dojo's energy firsthand with their awesome tryout offer. Confidently recommending this place for a holistic martial arts experience in Kanata/Ottawa.

I do both karate and kickboxing at Prostyle and it’s a dojo that I really enjoy going to! Not only is there a sense of community and everyone is super friendly and welcoming, but Master John and all of the Senseis are tough but fair. The fact that you get to learn so many different things in the classes from Senseis that come from different backgrounds also makes Prostyle unique compared to other dojos in my personal opinion. When you’re here, get ready to work up a good sweat and be sore the next day (or few days), but you won’t regret it! 🙂

Frequently Asked Questions

We offer Karate and Kickboxing. We have dedicated programs and curriculum for each age group preschool, kids, teens and adults.

Karate is safer than many sports, but it is still a sport. At our dojo, we do our best to prevent injuries, and they are very rare. From quality equipments (pads, mat surface,…) to proper incident handling, our top priority is to offer a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.

We serve primarilly families in Kanata and Stitsville. A few families have joined us from further away. We really take pride in our Pro-Style community welcoming new members every month. There are families who have been training with us for more than 20 years!!!

We don’t believe it is ever too late to start karate. In fact, many people from kids, adults and seniors find that karate makes them healthier, more flexible and more focused. We also offer kickboxing which is great for cardio, strength and mobility. Our programs do start at age 3 and you don’t need any special ability. Our mantra is to meet and start with all of our students from where they are on their fitness journey and work with them to where they want to be.

Absolutely. Our classes are very beginner-friendly. Don’t worry, you will feel more and more comfortable with every lesson. That’s our mission.

No, no and no! You are not required to be physically fit or coordinated in order to begin training. Many people report that they or their kids are very happy with how they look and feel after training with us in Karate or Kickboxing programs. All fitness levels are welcome.

Very much so, in fact, karate is great for self-defense. Although we very much support the notion of peace and the prevention of violence, being able to come out on top in an altercation or quickly remove yourself from a bad situation are at the core of our practical curriculum. On bullying, we feel that it will probably not be wise to mess with someone who knows karate.

You are most welcome to stay and watch your child’s lesson. Once kids are comfortable, some parents drop them before their lessons, go for a coffee (much needed sometimes) or errands and come pick them up after class. We are fine with both.

We regularly offer specials to give the opportunity to people in the community to start their martial arts journey for them or their family. Join our newsletter and you will be first to receive our latest updates and best offers.

Great that you are looking forward to your first class. For Karate lessons, participants need to wear a uniform (“Gi”). But don’t worry, we got you covered. Take advantage of our trial offer and receive a free uniform on your first lesson. After you start, if you want to change or buy more uniforms, we carry a great selection of merchandise to choose from.
