I could not locate ITTA in the business directory *** I signed up for a one-on-one Restricted and Non-Restricted PAL (Possession and Acquisition License) course offered by ITTA. My one-on-one training was delivered by Orlando Mancina, the Founder and Training Director at ITTA. Without question, ITTA (and Orlando himself) went above and beyond and far exceeded my expectations. Being a female and a novice with firearms, PAL certification and hands-on training can be intimidating. I found Orlando to be very personable, respectful, relaxed and ethical. Despite decades of international experience and being a respected expert, Orlando did a phenomenal job of making me feel relaxed and comfortable in handling various types of firearms, "demystifying" them and making them approachable, while emphasizing safety and teaching me an appreciation for the dangers associated with firearms - in essence, very balanced instruction. The ITTA facility itself is welcoming, professional and orderly (though rumour has it, ITTA/Ninpo will be building a brand new, larger facility in the next year or so). Kindly ask to see the office - a beautiful collection of Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu regalia. If you have not viewed it yet, I would encourage you to visit the ITTA website (http://www.ittacanada.com/); it is informative, well designed, easy to navigate, and has some great photos! Be sure to check out the instructors' credentials - it is an impressive team. THE BOTTOM LINE: I would highly recommend ITTA to anyone, but particularly to women. While ITTA offers advanced instruction (such as Close Quarter Combat) in addition to the PAL, Orlando (and I suspect the rest of the team as well) is very respectful, humble and relaxed. If anything, women (and men alike!) will feel empowered and be equipped with the right theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience to be a responsible firearm user. I am now a lifetime client, and will definitely return for additional classes.

Summit teaches students the value of hard work, practice and dedication. Students quickly learn that being invited to test for a new belt is an honour and privilege, that has to be earned. The Summit team has high standards and runs a good quality martial arts program. I am genuinely impressed with the way that Master Morris, and all of the instructors, take the time to explain concepts to students at an age appropriate level. Instructors encourage, coach and mentor students inside the gym; but also teach them how to apply the 5 tenets of tae kwon do (courtesy, integrity, perseverance, set control and indomitable spirit) to their everyday lives. Students are all treated equally, fairly and with respect. The cost of classes is quite reasonable, when compared to other activities. I have taken into consideration that tae kwon do is twice a week, and students are learning so much more than just a sport. In addition, the class schedule is flexible, allowing students to attend the most convenient classes. I would happily recommend Summit Martial Arts to anyone looking to learn tae kwon do.

I'd already taken my son to several lakes and even the ocean. He loves water. She charges 600 for four weekly 10- min classes which is triple what is charged elsewhere Money was no object as we thought we were doing the right thing Came first session. It's was a tiny pool with murky water in a dingy room. Kids before us cried nonstop, before hitting the pool, while in the pool and after which was the FIRST red flag we missed. We had already taken our son to poop where kids enjoyed learning how to swim and the process. It was our son to enter the water. He wasn't crying as he had no idea what was about to happen neither did we. Holly Murray ( the psychopathic so- called instructor) took him from me and turned around so we could not see his face. That was the SECOND red flag we missed. 2 minutes in, our 7 month old started vomiting crying. She put the blame on us having fled him an hour before. We had no idea what happened as we could not see what she was doing with him. Come the second session, he was crying nonstop along with other kids before and after his class. Just imagine the distressing scene. My wife and I had had a chat with her and reassured that it's not a big deal and all kids cry and eventually he will learn swimming. ( with an attitude of course) We decided to give the whole thing two weeks( 8 sessions) to see if things change. The second week , Monday I managed to see what see does in the water. Imagine being helpless in the water swallowing water nonstop and going through the feeling of drawing for 10 min. Had I seen that scene I would have stopped the whole thing right away. He was suffering so much that she herself cut the 5th session short ( I have everything recorded and DOCUMENTED) That was the last straw. We went home sensing not being right. I googled her name guess what popped up https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-parents-hope-lessons-can-prevent-toddler-drownings-1.1412933 Yes. The THIRD red flag we missed. I immediately contacted her asked to discontinue the class and get a refund. She replied I can only give you half refund minus a 50 dollar administration fee IF she can find a replacement for our son to fill the slot. If read the article above, you realize that she , as she quotes she receives 100 calls from parents asking for a spot in her classes And yet she cannot find a replacement! Food for thoughts I felt responsible to write this review, as a parent and human being. Don't allow this psychopathic woman , Holly Murray, experiment on your child hoping that he/she might float for 5 seconds while being tortured and going through the dreadful feeling and experience of drawing and swallowing poop water. Is that how we learned how to swim? Do you really want your child to develop lifetime phobias and complexes? I'm begging you to read the article and stay away from this phoney, sham excuse of an instructor, Holly Murray You can contact me and I'd be happy to share footage of every session

During Covid I started homeschooling my kids. I quickly stopped making fitness a priority. I had been wresting with getting back to a gym when management reached out about coming back to try a class. All it took was one class - I forgot how much I loved it! A gal recently asked me why I returned, and I told her that I was now the slowest, weakest, and fattest I've been in years, so I decided to return to the place that I know gets the job done! With hard work, perseverance, and stellar coaching staff, I'm starting to see my body transform. This place brings out my inner athlete and my competitive side, but it's not about comparing myself to others - every time I look in the mirror it's me against me. I've promised myself that I'm going to keep coming until I see the person in the mirror who reflects the person I want to be. I want to give a shout out to Matt and Khrista (the studio owners). You not only fill your studios with motivating, caring trainers, you genuinely care about people's health and wellness. You have created a community that people are excited to be part of and a place they enjoy working out it. Michelle Parks
