Bazooka Kickboxing is hands down the best gym I have ever been to! Kickboxing has been the main focus of my martial arts journey for years, and the coaching here is by far the best I've ever experienced. From head coach Joe to the entire coaching staff, they accommodate every single student with a truly top-tier training system. I signed up immediately without even needing the free week trial! If you are reading this, go ahead and start that free trial, but I can guarantee that once you experience the unlimited weekly classes and other incredible martial arts they have to offer, you won't regret signing up!
i’ve been going to bazooka for some time now and this is the best gym i went to. The facility is clean, the front staff is very friendly and welcoming. The coaches are all also very welcoming and amazing coaches overall. This is the gym I would recommend to everyone trying to get into combat sports
So this place feels like family to me. The people and members are so lovely. The environment is safe for all. You will be making a great investment in yourself and the community. Get inspire! Sending a shout out to Mr.Joe, Maria, Mom and all the instructors who make it all work!
Bazooka is an amazing gym that offers the unique opportunity to learn directly from a world champion and a top-tier set of coaches who accommodate students of all levels, from beginner to professional. The quality of instruction and training variety is top-notch, making every class feel new and exciting. Maria and her management team are so welcoming and always ensure that every new member has a positive first experience. They were also very helpful and supportive when I had an injury that kept me out of the gym for a while. I highly recommend this gym, whether you're just looking to learn new skills, build your fitness, or want to challenge yourself amongst world-class athletes.
I was very fortunate to first join the gym in 2014 while it was still called Ultimate Martial Arts. A few months later in 2015, Bazooka Joe took over and branded it as the gym you see today. I had enjoyed my time at Bazooka but had to leave in 2016 due to work scheduling. I had dabbled in other gyms in Scarborough over the last decade but I never felt it wasn’t the right fit for me. I joined again last May and it felt like a second home again. Despite being a southpaw, the coaches (especially Bazooka Joe and coach Abiel) have been attentive and accommodating towards me. I’ve also recently taken up BJJ under Coach Monkey who has been incredibly patient and articulate during his lessons. As long as my schedule (and body) can take it, I hope to be a lifer here. Thank you to all the coaches (and front desk staff) for cultivating a warm and welcoming environment for fighters and hobbyists.
Hands down one of the best gyms out there! Bazooka Kickboxing is more than just a gym — it’s a powerhouse of top-tier training, community, and real martial arts education. The workouts are intense, effective, and thoughtfully structured. What truly sets this place apart is the quality of the technique they teach — it’s absolutely mind-blowing. Every session is a chance to grow, learn, and push your limits. The coaches here, from Joe to Abiel to Matt and many others, are all working toward the same goal: helping you become the best version of yourself — whether you’re training to fight or just get in the best shape of your life. They’re not just teaching punches and kicks — they’re building fighters with knowledge, discipline, and purpose. You feel supported, challenged, and constantly motivated. The energy in the facility is unreal. It’s filled with people who are passionate, respectful, and driven. If you’re looking for a place that truly delivers on skill, community, and high-level coaching — Bazooka Kickboxing is beyond exceptional. Bazooka Kickboxing is beyond exceptional — I highly recommend it to anyone looking for serious training and incredible coaching!
Tried out a trial class and was super impressed. Great energy, clean gym, and the instructors actually focus on teaching you proper striking and footwork while. Highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for a solid spot to train.
scammers, unfortunately. After covid restrictions were lifted, they refused to honour the two payments they took from me during lockdown as credits. Said I should be more understanding about it because they are a 'small business'. Small business doesn't mean you can just take free money from customers. Then they pretended they were doing me a favour by only honouring one month payment. Have not been back since. I dont have much faith in their integrity or honesty. Hope the extra money they stole from me helped their business though.
