Had a chance to drop in today for a trial session with a couple buddies. Coach Dan was super friendly and a great instructor. Tonight was Fight Fridays and we got into a bunch of stuff. Sparring. Boxing, Muay Thai, and BJJ. Honestly, if I was close to downtown I’d want to come down every week. Anyways, thanks coach Dan and FAC squad.

When i first stepped into this gym it felt like home. The owners John and Shawn were very down to Earth and gave me such a warm welcome. Shawn is such a great instructor and it very easy to work with and patient. John is very approachable and super easy to work with. Definitely recommend training here to level up your martial arts skill set 👌

I've been training at Fighting Arts Collective since 2015, and it has been nothing short of transformative. As both a student and now an instructor, I can confidently say this is one of the most well-rounded martial arts schools in Canada. FAC offers a rare combination of arts under one roof—Thai Boxing, Filipino Martial Arts, Judo, JKD, Weapons Training, and Silat. Whether you're a complete beginner, an intermediate practitioner looking to grow, or an experienced martial artist seeking to deepen your craft, you'll find a place here. The instructors are world-class and the community is welcoming and serious about growth. In particular, the Silat program is second to none in the country—deep, authentic, and comprehensive. If you're curious about a powerful, integrated approach to martial arts, this is the place to be. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in Toronto and want more than just a workout—this is real martial arts, rooted in tradition but also driven by constant evolution.
