Budo Kombat receives ‘Best of 2023’ Award from Distinguished Teaching.ca

Honored to be acknowledged for this award, however we recognize there is no ‘best’

The folks (and algorithm) at DistinguishedTeaching.ca felt we were worthy to receive this ‘Best of 2023’ award (based on reviews, social media activity, and traffic)

Being a boutique studio, we have been able to focus more on the insemination of particular knowledge, skills and ability — beyond just the fitness components, making it easier to cater to each individual’s unique disposition and capacities.

While our hours may not have been the hottest in 2023, we have been fortunate to have worked with dedicated, focused and determined practitioners, those that have showed up to training sessions attentively with an open-mind and an empty cup ready to consume, develop and grow.…be it in the early mornings (7am!), the infamous ‘Sunday Morning Collectives’, or any other ‘unorthodox’ timeslot or location (eg. the hills at the park) that we made work otherwise.

It was recognized that something special was going on at the dojo when committed individuals (you know who you are) were coming in regularly from as far as Bowmanville, Hamilton, Markham, Brampton, Vaughan, and Woodbridge. We were very fortunate to share a great location and majestic space at Sendokan, (just as grateful for the opportunity with such an amazing partner)

We appreciate our student base in 2023, including all the referrals…along with the belief, trust, respect in coach who really cared about the students and material (our training is important matter, and we should ideally believe in what we train and practice)

“This award from DistinguishedTeaching.ca specifically mentions Karate…and while only a very small sub-section of our student-base has trained ‘Traditional Karate’ with us…..the roots of our (Budo Kombat) teaching and training methodologies — regardless of art (eg. Muay Thai, Boxing, etc.) — largely originate from, and are influenced by Old-Style Karate-Do, a set of continuously proven systems that cultivates students abilities and character. ”
