Reviews of Street Smart Defensive Arts

Warning this is a McDojo Daycare. What a joke. If you want to pay for daycare then go to a “licensed daycare. The owner is an overweight, self-centered, arrogant, pompous fool. Anyone who “buys” a black belt here would be destroyed if they ever competed in a match with “real” martial arts students (including the owner)

When we joined our daughter up last year, it was to allow her to spend some time with a friend who had joined the Courtice club. My husband had always wanted to get the kids involved in karate but the stories I had heard from how he was treated in karate made me hesitant. From the first class I realized that Sensei Todd has the perfect mix of being firm with the kids but still expecting the kids to ACT like kids, to be relaxed and have fun. Since then not only have we signed up our 9 year old daughter but our 5 year old son and then our 12 year old son. All 3 of them, despite being of different ages and abilities levels, all of Sensei Todd's classes and look forward to each and every karate class. Todd does an amazing job with the kids and always works to help them improving, working with their individual strengths and what goals we have set out! I couldn't imagine my kids with a better instructor than him!
