DeSantos Martial Arts Taekwondo/karate classes for kids, teens, and adults of all ages and abilities. We have students of all abilities ranging from age three to 70+!

Our students study under our Master Instructor (whom we call Kwan Jan Nim), 7th-degree Black Belt Veronica De Santos. The style of martial arts we teach is a blend of Karate (Japanese Style) and Tae Kwon Do (Korean Style). Our programs consist of three main elements: character development, real-world self-defence, and physical fitness. We thrive on providing our students with a family-type atmosphere that is empowering, motivating, and positive. Although each student trains for different reasons and each has their own personal goals, no one ever feels alone or isolated, and there is comfort in knowing that someone is always there to help and encourage you. We are active in our community with fundraising though the non-profit DeSantos Foundation, most notably via our annual 140+ km walk from Toronto to Niagara Falls! We also provide membership scholarships to children who otherwise would not be able to benefit from our programs, and our students are required to contribute to our communities as a condition of earning their Black Belts. We are dedicated to helping people develop strong character and leadership skills as they become empowered and accomplish their goals. We strive to provide our students with exceptional student service and take pride in empowering lives through the martial arts.

From Toronto to Niagara Falls — 145 km in 4 days! 💙🥋❤️

Community has always been at the heart of DeSantos Martial Arts. Guided by the Principles of Black Belt and the Student Pledge, we believe in using our strength to empower others.

The DeSantos Foundation is our way of giving back — supporting disadvantaged families and children locally and globally with resources that help them reach their highest potential.

This year’s 4-day, 145 km journey from Toronto to Niagara Falls was about so much more than the physical challenge. It was a journey of purpose, resilience, and community. Together with our students, families, volunteers, and supporters, we raised funds to help make education more accessible for students in Canada, Guyana, and the Philippines. 📚🌍

Every step taken and every dollar raised brings us one step closer to creating brighter futures.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who walked with us, volunteered, donated, showed up, cheered us on, and supported this worthy cause. Your generosity, encouragement, and belief in our mission mean so much. 🙏🏽✨

Together, we walk with purpose. Together, we create change.
