Credentialed Coaching Staff
Our coaching team includes martial artists with extensive professional and amateur competitive experience in Brazilian & Japanese Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Kickboxing, Karate, Boxing & MMA, credentialed by Boxing Ontario, Muay Thai Ontario, and the Ontario Jiu Jitsu Association. Coach Dave leads our boxing program with the kind of patience and humor real students describe as 'a wealth of knowledge,' Coach Ben works one-on-one with our youngest members to build their confidence on the mats, and our BJJ Professor guides students of every experience level through real, effective Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
We don't just teach Mixed Martial Arts — we build better people.
Our certified instructors are hands-on and genuinely invested in every student's growth — in technique and in character. Our results speak for themselves.
From young kids to adults, complete beginners to returning martial artists — everyone feels at home at Academix Academy. This is a family, not just a gym.
Parents and students report improvements in focus, confidence, and discipline within the first 30–60 days. Our structured curriculum ensures every student progresses at every level.
Programs for every age — from Youth Martial Arts and After School to Adult Martial Arts, Kick Fitness, and Summer/Day Camps.
A self-defense martial art and combat sport built around grappling, ground fighting, and submission holds. Students learn to take an opponent to the ground, control top position, and work toward a dominant finish — real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for newbies through experts.
Known as the 'art of eight limbs' for its combined use of fists, elbows, knees, and shins, our striking classes are taught by Muay Thai Ontario certified coaches — a great full-body workout and a real stand-up striking skill set.
Taught by Boxing Ontario certified coaches, our boxing program covers real technique, footwork, and conditioning on the heavy bags and pads — a serious workout for anyone from first-timers to competitors.
Combining Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Kickboxing, our MMA class teaches students to merge stand-up striking and ground fighting in a safe, controlled environment — open to everyone from fitness-focused beginners to competitive amateurs.
A 45-minute HIIT-style class that pairs heavy bag and pad work with strength and conditioning tools like kettlebells and Bulgarian bags — real striking skill development wrapped in an intense, calorie-burning group workout.

"It's sorta like the greatest place on earth no big deal. I've been attending the club for about 3 years now. Being there is easily the best part of my day and has me stalking the clock waiting to go all day. The people and the community it has is amazing I've never seen anything like it. Striking classes are my personal favourite for the workout, vibes and my favourite training partner. It's really my home away from home and I highly recommend joining the club. It'll be the best decision you probably ever make honestly 🤷♂️."

"My daughter has been going to classes for the last 6 months and loves it! Her confidence is through the roof & she's excited to go several days a week. All the coaches are so great, the kids warm up to them quickly. I spend the class trying to keep my 3 year old occupied because he wants to be out there with the coaches & is so excited to high-five at the end of class. Highly recommend this gym & all the people inside it!"

"It's a really wonderful place for our five year old. It can take a little while for him to warm up to people and the staff and coaches have been great at helping him navigate each drill and task. The younger coaches have been specifically wonderful with him, Ben takes the time out of each class to help him a little more one on one and shows him patience and kindness where he needs it. I would recommend this place to anyone easily. It's a family friendly atmosphere and you're always greeted by Dayna with a smiling face."

"5-Star Review for Academic Academy. My 12-year-old daughter started kickboxing classes at Academic Academy almost a year ago, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. Her self-confidence has grown tremendously, and it's been wonderful to see her become more focused, strong, and empowered. The staff at Academic Academy are truly outstanding—always kind, patient, and genuinely committed to helping each student thrive. They create a supportive environment that makes learning fun and inspiring. We're so thankful to be part of this community and highly recommend Academic Academy to any parent looking to build their child's confidence, discipline, and resilience."

"Where would my son be without Academix Academy? They took a shy little boy, afraid to speak up for others and gave him the tools to be a confident, self aware young man capable of defending himself or his friends in bad situation; they provided structure and discipline that is needed for young kids and they have fun doing it! The Professor and coaches are approachable, helpful, understanding and offer each kid smiles and support on and off the mats. When you join this club, you're really joining a family of people that are positive, supportive and welcoming. I encourage you to try it out and see for yourself!"
