I highly recommend Barrie Karate for families looking for a great martial arts program for their children. From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed and supported... read more by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The instructors are highly skilled and patient with the children. What sets Barrie Karate apart, however, is their commitment to teaching children not only the physical skills of karate but also the mental and emotional skills necessary to be successful in life. They emphasize respect, discipline, focus, and teamwork, and help children build self-esteem and confidence in themselves and their abilities. My child has made tremendous progress since joining and I have no doubt that the skills and lessons he is learning will benefit him in all areas of life.

The Sensei's of Barrie Karate really care about the kids! The classes are easy to get to with lots of variety on days/times to fit multiple children's schedules. Each class... read more has been different, always learning new things and the kids are always excited to be there. Parents are friendly and welcoming and it's just a great place to watch your children grow and flourish. Highly recommended!

Must go!!!
