DYNAMIC TESTIMONIALS
Christine G2023-09-13 I trained here when I was a teenager until my 20's. Only stopped because I don't live in the area and the commute is too long. But if I am ever in the area, I always stop by. They are like family to me. Sensei Paul is amazing, caring, patient and all the great characteristics you want in a teacher. I have been to other schools since and was not happy with the quality of training. They usually rush you through the belts to keep you. Sensei Paul and team will work with you to be good.. like actually learning the right way and perfecting the technique vs rushing you. Grigori Temkine2023-05-17 I have been a member of Dynamic Martial Arts for almost 20 years. I am happy that I have trained here, improved my spirit, and my karate skills. Friendly, professional, impressive. Love it. Bianca Chan2023-05-07 This dojo is a safe place where people of all ages can learn and grow as people. If anyone I knew wanted to start karate I would 100% suggest this dojo. R3DIEE2023-05-06 Throughout my years of training at this dojo, I've learned many things like the result of hard work and effort, to stay positive and persevere whenever you're learning something new and how to build confidence. And I am/was able to learn these things with the guidance and help of the many sensei that are at this dojo. I am incredibly grateful and thankful that in every step of the way they corrected me on anything I did wrong, no matter how big or small; always being straightforward and honest. Without them, I wouldn't be at the level I am today. And because of their efforts and extra steps of connecting their teachings to life, for example through practice, repetition and hard work you'll eventually get better at whatever it is you're doing, helped me become a better person. In addition, they are incredibly kind, pure and passionate in what they do, always willing to answer any questions/clarifications you have. Thank you Sensei! Demetri Vrantsidis2023-05-04 Great classes! Informative instruction. Highly recommend to those seeking training! Nailah Ramsoomair2022-09-13 I started training at Dynamic Martial Arts when I was 7 years old. It has not only been a place for me to train, but also a second home. I grew up in the dojo. The instructors are not just there to teach you Karate, but also to teach you fundamental life skills to thrive and succeed in life. I am 27 years old right now, and I would not only be the lawyer that I am, but the person I have become, without the guidance and support of the instructors at Dynamic Martial Arts. It is a place I will always call home, a safe space I know I can always run back to, and instructors that are my greatest supporters and my family. I owe everything to the time and mentorship I received at Dynamic Martial Arts. Daniel Lam2022-08-13 I have been training at Dynamic Martial Arts for over 5 years now, and I am very grateful for the opportunities and experiences I have gone through at this dojo. Sensei Paul as well as the other sensei's are all great people and I have learned lots from them. One thing I feel DMA does differently is train students to work hard for their belts, instead of rushing the process which is what I find when I ask other students at other dojos. The sensei's take thier time to teach you proper technique and perfect it. I look forward to the future, training and growing with the Dynamic Martial Arts family.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 26 reviews

Dynamic Karate Programs
Adults
Whether it’s learning a new skill, improving physical health, or because it stems from a life-long desire to learn a martial art, there are a number of reasons adults choose to train in karate. At Dynamic Martial Arts, adults learn a wide-range of techniques from various martial art styles, including Shotokan karate, kung fu, judo, jiu jitsu, and tai chi. Classes are a safe, yet invigorating, environment. Practitioners will face challenges, but they are surpassed through the development of growth and self-discipline. And not only does training in karate come with physical benefits, but there are mental-health and psychological benefits as well, such as stress reduction, self-discovery and respect, humility, the strengthening of the mind and spirit, and so much more. With dedication, practicing karate ultimately leads to gaining control of the mind and body.
Teens
Adolescence is a time during which one is starting to learn more about themselves and others. Karate can serve as a great help during this part of a person’s life. Physically, karate provides teens an outlet to work on coordination and, by engaging different muscle groups that are often neglected by other types of physical activity, build strength. Martial arts practice also instills good habits and traits—including self-confidence, respect of oneself and others, discipline, body and self-awareness, independence, mindfulness and self-motivation—that are essential during this period of life and beyond.
Children
For children, karate is not just karate. It’s as much about physical activity as it is about discipline and learning to focus. Classes at Dynamic Martial Arts are taught by well-trained senior instructors with years of experience, who foster a fun and energetic—yet controlled and organized—environment that allows children to learn at their own pace while mastering basic and advanced techniques. Kata, a well-defined series of movements, is also taught during these classes, serving as a way to reinforce and enhance fundamental skills and improve memory and mental focus. While there is no rigid schedule for advancement, all young students are being constantly evaluated by their instructors as they discuss their progress and consider when it is time for them to be elevated to the next belt level.

KARATE FAQ
We offer a variety of different class times and programs to suit individual needs. Depending on the needs of the members you can train once a week or every day that is up to the student. We do not make any restrictions.
One of the strengths of Dynamic Martial Arts is that anyone who trains in karate is treated like an individual. The short answer is that they are tested for the next belt level, when they are ready. The longer answer is that everyone is different- everyone has differing strengths and challenges. There is no set schedule or “test date”. We find that the best results come from learning the fundamentals of karate and applying these to a range of applications and kata. Kata are made up of a well-defined series of movements that assist in learning both the fundamentals and advanced techniques. Understandably everyone progresses on their own schedule and they are constantly being evaluated by the teachers. We believe that group testing only leads to a diminished quality as many students only move to higher levels based on attendance.
We are pleased to be associated with the World Traditional Karate Organization (WTKO). This is an international association with state-of-the-art teaching. Twice a year, the International Director of the WTKO visits us for seminars and classes. Other karate schools associated with the WTKO also attend these seminars. Not only does this aid in our karate training but provides for a broader perspective into the more subtle aspects of our knowledge. The students and teachers at Dynamic Martial Arts also occasionally attend other seminars and tournaments at other karate schools in the community.
