Cascadia Martial Arts

My son has been a member with Cascadia Martial Arts for almost two years now, and we have nothing but good experiences to share. Along with an amazing connection with each instructor, my son has learnt some very valuable life lessons here. He is much more confident in himself and his surroundings. He has learnt respect beyond anything I could have instilled in him myself. And he loves to show off the new techniques he's learnt to his friends and family. Kenneth loves to put his uncles to shame by being able to do more push ups then them. And he practices daily. Sometimes we have a struggle with his focus, but a little one on one time with an instructor, and he's back on track in no time! The best thing I could have done for Kenneth was to enroll him in Taekwondo with Cascadia Martial Arts.

Since I started at Cascadia Martial Arts I have learned so much and have gained an amazing supportive group to reach my fitness goals! I started out doing Kickboxing classes and immediately became addicted to the workouts. The class is super solid and balanced with hard cardio HIIT movements, and working on strikes and combos with the bag. Tons of energy and hard work from everyone in the class, nothing pumps me up more! Great way to get a good work out in and blow away any stress from the day. Would recommend to anyone wanting to create healthy lifestyle habits and may need some extra support to reach your fitness goals! :): )

I'm super stoked since joining Cascadia's kickboxing! I've been trying to get rid of the extra baby weight, in earnest, for a year (since New Year 2016). I sweated off 5lbs since starting kickboxing in November 2016. And it's been fun! I love the energy of the instructors and classmates. The atmosphere is one of shared goals and non-competitive, which keeps me coming back. AND, they have child care for some classes!

I joined Cascadia to help with my weight loss goals but found so much more!
I now have an amazing support network from the great team at Cascadia with the added benefit of having made many great friends with the same mindset as myself with regards to fitness.
The workouts are a total body workout that whilst hard and challenging, are great fun and conducted in a relaxed, friendly and non evasive atmosphere. I would highly recommend Cascadia!

Such a great team of skilled instructors who care about quality and integrity. My kids are in Cascadia Tae Kwon Do, and I do the kickboxing program. My kids are engaged and challenged, and I feel stronger and have seen amazing results. The only con is that the programs are so popular they are often very large classes and sometimes over full. I know they recognize this and are working towards solutions. A good problem to have which attributes, no doubt, to their great programs.

I have been a member of Cascadia Martial Arts/ Parksville Taekwondo (prior to name change) for over eight years. I started as a white belt and through hard work and commitment, am proud to have received my second degree black belt last year. Although, a large part of my success is due to my own efforts, I would not have been nearly as successful if it were not for the excellent teaching and inspiring instruction by the Cascadia Teaching Staff. Their kindness, dedication, talent and creative lessons motivated me to work hard and achieve my goals.
Not only is Cascadia Martial Arts a great gym for adults, but they are also incredible at working with children. I am an elementary teacher in the area and am well aware of how many students of mine are members as well. They adore coming to taekwondo and are so proud to show off their kicks and their poomsae. I have observed first hand how they interact with and teach children. There is kindness, discipline and respect.
Another program that demonstrates their commitment to providing quality martial arts to others, is their program for students with special needs. This holds a special place in my heart as my son has autism. Children with special needs are often excluded from sports activities, however Cascadia believes that with special instructions and differentiated activities, anyone can achieve success. This inclusive environment is so important for these children who want to be involved, but just need some adjustments.
I would highly recommend Cascadia Martial Arts. I am so happy to still be a part of this amazing club.
