Union Martial Arts YYZ

🏆2026 SUDBURY KICK-LIGHT INVITATIONAL🏆

Planting the seeds for the beginning of our competition season. Couldn't be more proud of these 2 for stepping up the occasion, making the trip out and giving it all they got this past weekend!

🥇Logan Budd got the win against a tough and scrappy opponent in both of their debut bouts!

🥈Aaden Fearnley fought through a tough fight to a close decision that went the other way.

Both boys put in many extra hours of hard training, sacrifices were made and lessons were learned. Thank you to every member on the mats who played a part in their preparation. Back to the drawing board!

Thank you to the hardworking team for hosting us and putting on a great event. Thank you to all the locals who reached out and made us feel at home. 🙏

Vibes are high as we put the finishing touches on some of our athlete's fight camp ahead of their competition this Saturday! 💪

Keep working hard team! The journey is just getting started 🔜

Thank you for the space and for hosting!

Honoured to take part in your first event of its kind! A beautiful display of Martial Arts in our community. All egos were checked at the door, all the love was shared across the mats 🙌

Proud of the team for breaking the ice with so many skilled athletes! For any new schools on the competition scene, take every opportunity and connect with as many people possible! That’s what Martial Arts does! 🤝

Thanks for the impromptu corner😂

🌸 Happy Mothers Day! 🌸

To all the wonderful mothers for the sacrifices you make to keep us all happy!

Thank you for every ride to class, all your words of encouragement, and every lesson in strength, discipline, and perseverance. Your support shapes champions both on and off the mats.

Today we celebrate all the amazing moms who kick through life with courage and love. ❤️

SELF EXPRESSION! 🗣️

It doesn’t always have to be about Belts, Medals, Trophies, Punches and Kicks… to many, martial arts is simply another form of self expression. Displaying your character, judgment free and under the lights.

Shoutout to Jordyn for her creative artwork on a pair of Kali Sticks! 🙌 Putting the Art back in Martial Arts🎨

We have an abundance of talent at the Academy, show us your skills and we’ll show the world! 🌎

🚨BLACK SASH ALERT 🚨

Another major promotion from this years Charity Fellowship. Please help us congratulate Ms Amisha on her promotion to Black Sash! 🎉🎉

We often speak on how every student takes their own path to Black Sash, and Ms Amisha has done just that. Her path like everyone’s, had begun at Pre-Sash. Over many consistent years of training, she has not only grown to become one of our most skilled students on the mats, but also holds the title of Instructor here at Union Martial Arts YYZ. Volunteering her time to instruct our Youth Kali program on Thursdays, running a Women’s Kickboxing program on Saturdays, and generously sharing her time whenever she can to run classes throughout the week, Ms Amisha exudes leadership every moment she is on the mats.🔑

A dangerous talent in a small package, Ms Amisha truly displays the art of Kali in every movement. As a leader to our Youth, a consistent pillar of our Academy, she has taken a very exclusive path to Black Sash with her unwavering support for all that we do here.

Thank you dearly for all the hard work you put into your duties here every week Amisha, welcome to the club! 🥋

🚨BLACK BELT ALERT 🚨

We are very proud to announce our newest Black Belt of Union Martial Arts YYZ….Ila Aquino! 🎉

Ila has been a member of Union Martial Arts through some of its most trying years. An original student of Maestro Mark Anastacio and now earning her black belt under G**o Anil Mistry, Ila has trained through online ZOOM classes during the pandemic, she has competed in our In-House Kaizen tournaments, Volunteered her time to support our youth athletes, and so much more!

I’ve seen Ila go through all the hardships that come through training. Despite the hard days shes faced, she always finds her way through and has never shown an ounce of quit. I may push her past her limits at times, but as a founding member of our Competition Team, a born and raised martial artist at heart, there is never a time where I felt she didn’t have it in her to persevere.

When Ila is away from class, her absence is felt. The energy and enthusiasm (and sarcasm..) she brings to the mats is infectious in the best way possible. We all have a lot to thank Ila for as we continue to grow alongside her.

Welcome to your new beginning Ila! Training just got a little harder, and there is no doubt in my mind that you’ll uphold that black belt every day.
~G**o Anil Mistry

Please wish Ila a well deserved Congratulations as she makes this major step in her martial arts career! 🥋
