Who teaches here

A coaching team, not one name.

Art Of 8 Martial Arts Academy is family-run and coach-led. Every coach on the floor holds a Vulnerable Sector Check, a police background check, and certification from provincial sanctioning bodies. They are led by Kru Yai Martello Jones — head instructor, co-owner, multiple-time amateur and professional champion, and, above all, someone who genuinely enjoys passing on what he knows.

He is still on the mat every week. And when your child comes to class in March, they will see the same coaches they saw in September. That consistency — the relationships, trust, and familiarity that come with it — is what we protect most carefully.

• Vulnerable Sector and police background checks on every coach
• Provincial sanctioning body certification
• Led by a multiple time amateur and professional champion who enjoys passing on knowledge and experience
