Reviews of Ignite Martial Arts - Trail (School)

As a person with Osteoarthritis in my hips and knees, I started training at Trail Martial Arts. Within 2 months I was able to walk without a cane and my mobility has improved dramatically. I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge and confidence since starting and I am enjoying my journey towards my Black Belt. Tae Kwon Do is an activity that I get to enjoy with my wife and son and we love going to tournaments. The instructors and and other people we train with are very up beat, positive and a lot of fun to train with. I would recommend Trail Martial Arts to anyone looking for a fun and exciting way to get fit and stimulate their mind. Y. Feiner Genelle BC.

My boys and I always enjoy our classes at TMA! The instructors always make it fun and challenging, and the students are all friendly and helpful!!

Jodi Sheehan

The instructors are fantastic!! They're patient, understanding, illustrate clear expectations and are very active in participating with the students in each class to make sure they learn the techniques safely and properly! Beyond the Martial Arts aspect of the class that we knew we were signing up for, Jason, Mike, Amanda and Josh are great catalysts for 'life skills' within the classes as well with the lessons of friendship, respect, compassion and humor being integrated into the class instruction. The instructors interaction and class participation have all gone above my expectations with our Autistic son and he looks forward to his classes every week!

I have been training at Trail Martial Arts for about five years and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in martial arts.The instructors are great and the classes are always a good time. Training in Tae Kwon Do has been very inspirational and stress relieving as well.

I have been enjoying the art of Taekwondo with this clan for a few years now... From white all the way to red belt now, it has been an experience like no other! Excellent staff that make you feel like family, and a great workout to boot! Highly recommended! Mike Boutin

I enjoy learning self defense techniques and using weapons

Trail Martial Arts has the best students in the Kootenay's! I am very proud and fortunate to be a part of the magic that happens in those walls and outside. From watching kids come out of their shell, growing into confident young adults, helping people reach their weight-loss goals, and even watching students compete on the National or World Stage!

I have been in TKD for 3 years. It's really fun, you get to play games and learn at the same time. It's a great school.

My wife spent weeks telling me to go try the free class before I finally took the plunge. That was 5 years ago and trying that class is probably the best decision of my adult life. When I started I would be exhausted after a dozen pushups and was pushing 230 lbs on my 5ft 9in frame. Now at 180lbs I regularly do several dozen daily and "regular" push ups are almost too easy, not bad for an ex-IT nerd who never went for more than a few hours away from a computer desk. I loved it so much that I eventually got a job teaching martial arts and some of my greatest joys come from seeing students achieve goals they previously thought were impossible.

Such a great place for kickboxing classes and martial arts for all ages! Really enjoy coming here myself for kickboxing, and bringing my kids to martial arts, it's the best program I've ever put them in. Friendly, helpful, encouraging and motivating instructors make the classes a really fun and enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone I know who's looking for a fitness program for themselves or a program where their kids can learn physical martial arts skills as well as lifelong transitional skills that can be applied to all aspects of their lives!

My daughter (who is 3) has just begun at Trail Martial Arts and I'm already all in! The staff has been so welcoming and patient with my reluctant ninja and have brought her out of her shell. She told me yesterday that "Josh is my best friend!" An amazing place!

A good martial arts experience! My flexibility has increased by leaps and bounds!

Been with Jason and Mike (the instructors) for almost 5 years, never have i had a day I didn't want to go train, love the school.

Charlene Pasutti

Both my daughters love going to TMA! The staff there are awesome! The cardio kickboxing class for adults always gets my adrenaline pumping. Great program to get in shape!

Darlene Chambers

Wanting to do something different fitness-wise, I thought I would give it a go. It's only been 2 weeks, but I'm seeing changes already. Great instructors, and fellow students. Learning so much, and having fun while doing it!

Russell loves it. He is learning even thou he figures it is fun. Great exercise and confidence builder. Thank you. Russell is just beginning but I can see this being a very positive life style for him.

Just over a year of training here, still absolutely loving it! Everybody really encourages each other to succeed. It is nice to have a place where I can get cardio, strength training, make new friends, and learn new skills at the same time!

Brandon Racette

This place is incredible! Staff is amazing, incredible program run with lots of energy! Our 3 year old started here very nervous and had developed a huge improvement in her self awareness and confidence. They have so much patience for the kids and provide an amazing opportunity for growth for them. It's been great to see her become a part of this amazing community!

Jessee Allen

Our son is almost 5, and we've struggled to find something that interests him, and challenges him while being fun. Since signing him up for tae kwon do, we've never once had to fight with him to go, and he always has a blast. The joy we have when we see how proud he is of himself, and how much he enjoys himself, is irreplaceable and unexplainable!

UPDATED: I'VE LOST 12lbs IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS DOING THE ADULTS FITNESS KICKBOXING! This a great place to improve your physical condition. Whether you're starting from a couch potato or an athlete, you will get a fantastic workout. Every workout is different so there's no getting bored here. I particularly enjoy the friendly and non-intimidating environment - everyone encourages each other, no one is left out or left behind, and EVERYONE is treated with respect. They have change rooms, bathrooms, cold water & sports drinks as well as martial arts gear available for purchase. Classes are scheduled 6 days a week and at times that make it convenient for shift workers so there's no excuse to not go! THE KIDS TAEKWONDO CLASSES are a fun place for kids 3yrs+ to burn off energy. Kids are taught various skills in an age appropriate manner. The class schedule is flexible & the option to make up for missed classes is available.

We have been part of this club for 4+ years. My children absolutely love the program, and I love that it gives them such a positive outlook! They crush their goals and are very engaged in all aspects. With the recent shut downs, ignite hasn't even skipped a beat! Going from in person classes to 100% virtual, to a virtual/in person distanced hybrid, back to virtual for now without sacrificing any part of their amazing program! Cannot say enough positive things sbout out families experience

Bethan Westbrook

Fun classes that push you to your limits!

Emma MacLean

Its a fun sport with fun people!

From the day I walked into the door I found myself in a friendly learning atmosphere. My child McCoy is enrolled in the basic skills class. He is often very excited to attend his class and eager to follow thru in all the tasks. The staff has been very encouraging and helpful..

Robyn Heney

Loving our membership package! We get to pick the days that work for us. The price stays the same even when we go to more classes. The staff is so nice and helpful. They are also doing great stuff for Covid as well. I feel so safe sending my son there. Looking forward to much more time spent at Trail Martial Art Studio. UPDATE: We have now been with the Ignite Family for 2 months now, and I can honestly say it is my favourite child programming to date, and we have tried several over the last few years. This crew blows me away, and my son is loving the program and his Instructors. I am so thankful for each and everyone of the Ignite crew, especially during these difficult Covid times. Speaking of Covid, Ignite's procedures are above any I've seen in our Community. I have no concern with sending my son there, which is high praise coming from me. We are extra cautious as both my son and I are Asthmatics and in the high risk category group.

Tai Kwon Do is fun. You learn how to defend yourself and I like the teachers

Tim Chandler

My family has been a part of Trail Martial Arts for many years, now. Both my 12 year old son and I are students in the Tae Kwon Do program, and I also take cardio kickboxing classes, as well. The instructors are all energetic, positive people who help you realize that you are capable of much more than you previously thought, and they never make you feel like you are failing. They are wonderful with children, having a greater patience than I personally would be able to muster, and I credit them with helping my son mature into the responsible person he is. I'd recommend TMA to anyone, with no exceptions!

Mike Ganzert

the instructors here have helped me with public speaking, self confidence and goal setting and it its always fun coming to class and if feel never unwelcome.

Ayden S

I really like trail martial arts and taekwondo. I also like everybody who's there too because they are really nice and helpful.

Tiffany Armstrong

My 2 young boys have been attending Trail Martial Arts for over a year. They always have fun and I am amazed at how much they have learned. Their attention span is getting longer and they are better listeners in class. The instructors are welcoming, kind and energetic and they are great role models for my kids. I would recommend this class to anyone.

Mackenzie Worsnop

I've been in Taekwondo for about 5 years and I think its lots of fun and really enjoy it.
