Lion's Heart Family Martial Arts - Ancaster, Ontario

This is an incredible dojo! Mersina, the owner and head Sensei is a very special person. My child has absolutely thrives under her instruction and mentorship. All her staff have been wonderful too. There is the perfect mix of ‘fun’ here while still focusing on the discipline required for martial arts. We have loved that there was no commitment to sign up and start 2x/week and that there was different membership options. The icing on the cake is that this dojo has experience with neurodiverse individuals and is welcoming to all!

Absolutely amazing! Lion’s Heart Family Martial Arts was incredible for our son’s 5th birthday party! I cannot say enough good things about the whole experience from booking to the end. Communication was excellent, I contacted the owner, Mersina, several times with ongoing questions. The responses were always quick and full of information. Organization was exceptional, from booking the party weeks in advance, straight through to the end of the party was perfectly organized and went off without an incident. The instructors kept the kids excited, entertained, moving, and energized the whole party! The activities were perfect for the age group and the kids were so engaged at each stage. It was a very stress free and hands off party for the parents, even the attendees’ parents. The instructors, especially Mersina, took care of everything!

To begin with i would say everyone from the front desk to actual Sensei and assistant Sensei are all very kind and polite to speak to.

To add to that they are never rushing a kid like other martial arts schools, every kid has their own speed of learning and improving and this school is able to amazingly do it for every kid differently and still makes sure that every kid improves in every class. Impresses me everytime

This place is such a treasure. All the senseis are great. Head Sensei Mercina is AMAZING. She’s awesome with the kids. She provides a very safe, accepting and respectful learning environment for all the kids no matter their individual needs. In addition, she teaches her students important life values such as respect, integrity, self-discipline and perseverance (to name a few). Whenever you need to speak with her, she drops everything and gives you 100% of her attention. I’d recommend this place to anyone who wants to introduce karate to their children in hopes they work their way up to black belt. My son is ALWAYS excited to come to class.
