About – New Toronto Academy of Martial Arts

Welcome to The New Toronto Academy of Martial Arts!

We have been operating our dojo in south Etobicoke for 30 years and taught many children and adults the essential skills needed to practice Martial Arts. Our students are like family to us and we value their contribution to the dojo as a whole. Fitness and training are key to martial arts but we also teach respect, wisdom and friendship. 尊敬知恵友情
