The York AMA is a traditional school of martial arts, owned and operated by dedicated and professional individuals to help people to improve their fitness, confidence and ability to effectively protect themselves through training in karate and self-defense. Since 1990 we have been THE Martial arts school to come to in Toronto's Dufferin and Eglinton west area not only because of our emphasis on Fitness, Focus and Fun in class, but also because we prepare students for the challenges of life and help coach them to perform as upstanding contributors to the community. At our school you will find a positive and friendly group of people doing their best to improve themselves through training in the many aspects of Karate; such as striking, kicking, blocking but also clinch fighting, throws, take-downs and grappling. Being a traditional school you will not find any colored uniforms, children's black belts or high-pressured sales tactics that are present at more 'commercial' clubs nor any of the loud music, over-competitive attitudes or dingy facilities of the 'undergound' clubs. What you will find is world-class training in a great facility at a reasonable price.
