I’m Ramanan Rajaratnam, Coach here at Yorkdale Martial Arts Academy.
As a martial arts instructor with extensive experience training kids, there is nothing better than seeing them grow firsthand.
But more important than the martial arts skills they learn… is the personal skills they develop and carry for life.
Because martial arts is so much more than just kicking and punching, and getting the next colorful belt.
It’s about developing confidence, discipline, character, focus and respect.
With every class we teach, your kids are growing in mind, body and character.
That’s because martial arts provides instant positive feedback. Through learning to focus on the core moves, they develop discipline and respect. They can instantly see and feel a difference, making them destined to build confidence, self-awareness and self-respect.
And of course it’s a ton of FUN!
That’s why I love teaching martial arts to kids in this community, and why I know your kids are going to LOVE training.
So please have a look below to find out exactly how your kids can benefit from our fun martial arts classes.
Thanks!

YOUR CHILD WILL GROW WITH EVERY BJJ CLASS!
Children are like sponges. They absorb things quickly and easily – far more easily than we do as adults. In fact, parents can sometimes see a difference in their kids after just one martial arts class. Each additional class they attend increases their knowledge and growth.
Not only are they getting healthier as they learn martial arts, but they’re also learning the value of self-discipline and respect. When you enroll your child in a martial arts class, you’re giving them much more than the physical skills we teach. You’re giving them the opportunity to thrive.

LIFELONG CHARACTER AND SUCCESS TRAITS
The true benefit of our classes is the character and success traits that are developed through martial arts training. Through learning the skills and techniques of BJJ to the guidance and inspiration of our instructors and the positive social interaction with their fellow classmates, your kids will develop a whole new list of healthy life skills.

FITNESS DISGUISED
Our Kids & Teens BJJ classes are full exercise routines disguised as a boatload of fun! They are jam-packed with activities, games and drills that are all designed to disguise the repetition of training.
It’s important for your kids to exercise and wear themselves out – they sleep well and build strong minds and bodies. Our classes also help develop healthy habits which carry through to adulthood.

BJJ TEACHES SELF-DEFENCE
Every parent wants their kids to be safe and protected.
That’s why our Kids & Teens BJJ training is very serious about teaching your kids the skills needed for self-protection in any circumstance, from the neighbourhood bully to a stranger on the street (and so much more).
Knowing how to defend oneself is only half the battle. Our classes teach your child the respect and self-discipline needed to diffuse a situation without violence whenever possible – as well as the knowledge to know when force is the only way to safety.

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU IS TONS OF F-U-N !!
