I have never been in a place where the people were so caring. They have pushed me to a new fitness level and I plan to continue to challenge myself and increase my goals. I recommend to everyone I know.
Jacques Chomiak
Trained here and got up to 2nd degree black belt. Great instructors keep a whole class intense for people with different skill. Every instructor is very adept and knowlegable in forms and technique. Very friendly atmosphere and attending is worth it. Definitely London's best Martial Arts and cardio kickboxing studio!Jacques Chomiak
Louise Cottrell Cassar
We started karate because my son said Why play with action figures when I can be one?
It's been 2 years and we love it there. My son is a blue belt and my 5 year old daughter is in little dragons. I just joined and am loving the adult classes. I can't wait to start kickboxing!
A family that plays together stays together

Jennifer Watson
My niece and I did the kickboxing cardio class from 6-7pm and had an amazing workout. It was our fist time doing the class and the teacher Leah was great at explaining, Leah and the rest of the class made us feel welcome. We can't wait to join and come to more classes.
Thanks for a great experience.

- CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM -
Striving 4 Excellence

Bernardo Karate & Cardio Kickboxing strongly believes in developing the character of our students along with the martial arts skills we teach them. The Striving 4 Excellence character development program was developed with 40 years of experience in teaching children respect, confidence and self-discipline. Striving 4 Excellence gives our members the opportunity to discuss, practice, and apply character development traits in their lives. The program includes a Karate Kids Workbook and a Little Dragons Colouring book which children complete each month at home. The lessons outlined in the workbook are designed to accompany the "Word of the Month" which instructors discuss with students during each class. Through study of this workbook and mindful application at home, school, and dojo, children will be able to further develop the character and qualities for life success. Learn more about our Character Development Program.
The Word of the Month for January is:
Perseverance
Too many people make the mistake of assuming that a very successful athlete or artist or business person was essentially lucky, somehow born with the physique, brains or whatever is necessary to succeed in their chosen field. But more often than not, the champion figure skater who makes salchow and lutz jumps look easy wasn’t born knowing how to spin in the air gracefully. They learned it through years and years of practice, patience and perseverance.
