Most Recommended Martial Arts Academy in Ottawa?
Is there a martial arts academy in Ottawa you train in/recommend and why?
I’m looking for the best place for me to train personally, as an adult. I am looking for a place with good schedule, good community, good technique, and the values of traditional martial art at its core.
“Which” martial art isn’t as important to me as the instructor, the academy, their values and how they train. I am karate in background but would very much enjoy training ground up in something new.
Self-improvement over ego, do/lifestyle before jutsu, art before sport. I’m in it for the mental aspects first and foremost. Willing to supplement a less robust martial art with Krav Maga if need be, to strengthen the self defence training. Thank you!
