Move, learn, and become stronger together

Mind Over Matter Karate is a top rated family martial arts school offering classes on Saturdays in North York, Toronto.

Below are some testimonials from current students and families:

• "My son was taught so much by learning Karate at MOM. I recommend MOM so much to many friends as they are incredible at teaching Karate to kids." - Mr. Williams, father of 1 child enrolled at MOM

• "MOM focuses on maintaining high standards when teaching karate. At MOM, students earn their belts. Students are motivated to give their all when they train and grade so that every belt feels rewarding and deserved. I have been training with MOM for almost 8 years, and through karate, not only have I increased my physical abilities, I have also improved my public speaking skills and confidence. Before karate, I was shy and suffered intense stage fright, but through teaching karate, I am now very comfortable and actually enjoy speaking in front of an audience. MOM is not like other karate schools. They focus on creating passionate karate students and make sure that every student gets specific training based on their individual needs." - Derek Zhang, young adult enrolled at MOM

• "We were looking for a good Martial Arts class to enroll our kids into. Most classes we checked out were disappointing as the main focus was not teaching the art to the children and many places just handed out belts just for attendance. Around 5 years ago we met Sensei Neil Linsdell through a Toronto Parks program. We loved the way he ran the class as his main focus was teaching his students the art of Karate. We enrolled all three children into his private class four years ago and they have learnt a lot through attending MOM, not just Karate but also respect, discipline, and power of practice among other things. These aspects have also helped my children succeed in other areas of their lives. Sensei Neil also has a great team of advanced students that help him run the junior level classes. I also have seen many mature students joining in and learning Karate. It is a great way to learn self defense while also getting a good work out." - Samanthi de Zoysa, mother of 3 children enrolled at MOM
