Amazing experience here for our child in the Little Dragons Karate class. The staff and instructors were very kind and patient in their teachings with the little ones.
Professor Mike and his team are amazing instructors. They teach good values, build resilience, and teach skills that will last my kids a lifetime. Thank you!
We moved to arashi do north from another gym and are thrilled with the decision. Nothing but good things to say about this gym. Our kids do BJJ there and Professor Mike and his family run an amazing club. All the senior coaches that help out with classes do a great job. Professor Mike’s coaching style is exactly what we were looking for. An awesome combination of fun and strict. He holds the kids to a standard of demonstrating responsibility and respect. He often engages 1-on-1 with the kids during class, establishing rapport with them. Spends time with more reserved or nervous kids, drawing them into the group. As for the facility itself, the gym is well equipped, there is comfortable seating in the viewing area for parents, change rooms. There is a small games room for siblings or kids waiting for their class, with a couple old school arcade games, books, magnetic tiles, etc.
So I originally had all three of my children signed up. One never gave it a shot, however they worked with us trying to encourage him and they were amazing after several months to terminate his contract. My oldest participated for 10 months, and again worked with us to terminate her contract once she was done. My middle child has been here for a year, she absolutely loves it here. She has learned so much, and I truly believe being here has helped her in her daily life. I truly appreciate the opportunity they have given her. She can now participate with boys, even though a year ago she hated all boys. Her attitude has immensely improved, inside and out. They've changed the course of her life for the better. They've always been so polite, and understanding, here's to another year! Thank you!
My kids have been training at Arashi Do for over two years now, and they absolutely love it! Renshi Mike is an amazing teacher — he’s patient, encouraging, and knows how to motivate the kids to do their best. The assistant instructors are fantastic too and bring so much positive energy to every class. Annie at the front desk always goes above and beyond to help with scheduling and questions; she keeps everything running smoothly. You can really tell everyone here cares about the students and their progress. Highly recommend Arashi Do to any parent looking for a supportive and fun martial arts community!
Arashi-Do Edmonton North is a welcoming, safe, and fun place to train. Lots of classes for different schedules and accommodating to all experience levels. Although I have only been training Jiu jitsu for 3 years, I have done Martial arts my whole life and Professor Mike is one of the best teachers I have encountered in this time. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful during classes. The whole family running Arashi-Do is amazing! For anyone wanting to start training I will recommend this place again and again.
Posted 1 year agoMy son has been going to Arashi Do North for karate since he was 7 years old. He was having trouble focusing and connecting with kids at school, and had energy to spare. It's been 3 years and he loves karate so much. Sportsmanship, resilience, and inner confidence have become a foundation for him due in large part to his time in the dojo. He's doing fantastic in school now and is better at controlling his energy. Renshi Mike, Sensei's Hanna, Nathan, and Sarah are so fantastic with the kids. Annie at the front desk is amazing as well. A great community of people run this place. They are encouraging, fun, kind, and no-nonsense in a straightforward way. They really inspire these kids with their own positive attitudes, accomplishments, and skills.
Posted 1 year agoOur experience with Arashi-Do has been incredible! The teaching is phenomenal, and my daughter has not only learned so much but has also made amazing friends. The gym is always clean and very well-run. It’s more than just training—the sense of community is outstanding. The social events like Christmas and Halloween parties add so much fun for the kids. My daughter has truly found her passion in Muay Thai, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to join Arashi-Do North!
Posted 1 year agoWe absolutely love this jiu jitsu school! Professor Mike, Annie and all the instructors and coaches are fantastic, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere where kids can thrive. My children have not only improved their skills but have also grown in confidence and discipline. The community here is like a family, making every session enjoyable and beneficial. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a positive martial arts experience for their kids!
Posted 1 year agoArashi-Do Martial Arts, located at 12730 St Albert Trail, Edmonton, Alberta, has proven to be an exceptional martial arts school. Our family member has been training here, and we are thoroughly impressed with the quality of the coaching staff. Notably, Coach Mike stands out for his professionalism, courteousness, and diligence in addressing any questions we have. If he doesn’t have an immediate answer, he ensures to find it promptly. The dojo is designed thoughtfully to allow parents to comfortably watch their family members train. The seating arrangements are both comfortable and convenient. The facility itself is highly professional, fully stocked with necessary supplies, and all equipment is impeccably maintained. Having transitioned from another martial arts school, our experience at Arashi-Do has been outstanding. The training our family member has received surpasses our previous experiences by a significant margin. The dojo is consistently clean and well-organized, with everything in its place. The front desk staff, especially the young woman who assists us, is exceptional in addressing any needs that arise. We hold the gym and its staff in the highest regard and are extremely pleased to be part of this community. For anyone considering training in Muay Thai, karate, or Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Arashi-Do Martial Arts is an excellent choice. Their classes are in high demand, so I recommend enrolling without delay to secure your spot. The sense of professionalism, belonging, and respect here is unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend Arashi-Do Martial Arts to beginners, intermediates, and advanced practitioners alike. Thank you to the entire team for providing such an outstanding environment for martial arts training.
