Ottawa Martial Arts Builds Young Minds and Bodies
Children love learning at John Leroux's World KarateFIT Centre in Ottawa, ON. Our martial arts programs are high-energy, fun and interactive.
The overarching goal of the Ottawa Martial Arts school is to build our student's self esteem, which we do by acknowledging, recognizing and rewarding not just our student's accomplishments and successes, but their efforts as well.
Learning martial arts is a physical endeavor, involving all muscle groups to help develop a student's physical fitness. But our emphasis goes far beyond just learning physical moves and martial arts techniques. At John Leroux's World KarateFIT Centre, we use martial arts as a mechanism to develop positive character and life-improvement skills in our students.
Our martial arts Ottawa emphasis is on the personal-development aspects of martial arts, such as increasing self confidence, improving focus and concentration, developing self discipline, and optimizing physical fitness.

Life Lessons Developed Through Martial Arts Ottawa
Classes at Ottawa Martial Arts end with group discussions and role-playing exercises. We touch on life lessons and discuss
alternate resolutions to
some of the issues
children face today.
These issues are
discussed in a non-threatening, proactive
way.
Children pay close attention as we explore topics that include:
- Avoiding conflicts
- Dealing with bullies
- Mental self-defense
- Proper respect for adults
- Stranger awareness
- Respect for self and others
- Saying "no" to drugs and peer pressure
These valuable life lessons help our martial arts Ottawa students understand the connection between what they learn in class and the real-world applications that make martial arts practical and insightful skills for school-age, and beyond.
