RMA Karate Centres of Barrie is a
family oriented school that teaches the
art of karate (empty hand) through the
many
programs our school offers. RMA sets
itself apart from the other martial arts
schools in the Barrie area by truly being
a family
karateschool. RMA is family owned, family
run and family friendly.
At RMA we pride ourselves in knowing
every student’s name, what they like
to do, how their grades are, where they
work, and
so on. Our school has a “personal
touch” that leads to greater student
satisfaction.
Our school is staffed with reception,
full-time and part-time professional
martial arts instructors, a part-time
acro coach and
full-time personal fitness trainer. We
are proud to be a member of the Canadian
Martial Arts Association.Professional
Martial Arts Alliance and the
International Alliance of Martial Arts
Schools..
We offer many programs that help people
from all walks of life. If you are a
parent looking for a good structured
environment for
your child where words like respect, self
discipline, focus and self confidence are
practiced like second nature by our young
students, than look no further! Our
Children's program was designed to teach
these things while learning practical
self defense
should they someday have to use it.
We do not give away our belts! Our
students work hard for what they get, and
know first hand the feeling of
accomplishment!
We love seeing the life lessons that are
automatically taught just by practicing
the martial arts.
Our classes are structured by age and
belt level, with a special program just
for children 3-5 years old. In our school
no student
sits on the bench, everybody
participates. With our low
student/instructor ratio, every student
gets the individual attention they
deserve with our instructors. Our classes
are lead by the best qualified and
certified instruction available. At RMA
you will not
see one black belt at the head of the
class but up to three certified black
belts in class instructing our students
with expert
instruction.

family self-defense and safety workshops

About
our Facility
Our facility located minutes away from
Barrie's Georgian College serves families
of central and north Barrie.
Students train on a sport foam floor
renowned for its shock absorption,
resiliency and fast response. Similar to
that of
a gymnastics floor it provides students
with the perfect combination of ability
to perform kata easily while also
providing a
safe training environment.
Our school provides separate mens and
ladies changerooms, washroom facilities
and a comfortable viewing area allowing
parents to easily watch their child while
they take class. For parents who want to
unwind a sofa is there to sit back while
watching television. Family friendly
shows are always on for everyone to
watch.
Reception is there to answer any
questions you may have or to place
equipment orders. Gatorades, yogurts and
many other
items are sold at reception as well.
Our facility is always kept clean, is
warm and very welcoming. Parking is
available at both the front and back of
the building.
