ABOUT RMA KARATE CENTRES

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 karate school. 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,
World Karate & Kickboxing Council Canada 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.



RMA's Community Programs

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.
