A fantastic martial arts school that teaches values, life lessons, and independence. We don't watch our kids while they are in the classroom in elementary school--we can't distract them by being there. My experience with this school is that they have shown the utmost courtesy and respect to me and my family. They have really tried to consider us. They offer make up classes which you can't get anywhere else. Sensei is one of the most knowledgeable instructors around and to benefit from this knowledge requires an investment in time. What will you really get if you only do something for one month? Believe the many people, parents, and students who benefit from this dojo and not someone who has never trained martial arts or has not been there long enough to know what this school is really about. read more

This dojo is great I've been personally training here for nearly a year and hope to continue training here for many years to come the experience has been amazing they make me feel like family here and I've made friends at this dojo and the fact that a person is rating this dojo a 1 star because the instructors were yelling at the children and then asking for a refund and not receiving full pay seems completely idiotic to me this dojo teaches real martial arts and real techniques and that requires the students to act as the instructor requests. the instructors are very nice people especially the sensei this dojo is not a place for you to goof off its a place to learn even if you're a kid I definitely recommend this to anyone that interested in learning real martial arts read more

Not only do I love the dojo but my kids are crazy about it. They look forward to going there every week and they get sad if they ever find out they'll be missing a class. I absolutely positively love all the people at the dojo. Sensei is approachable and very friendly and an amazing person to have in depth discussions with. My kids have learned a lot from the dojo. From respect for everybody to respect for their belongings. Being polite and kind to one another. A lot of it is what we teach them at home but having someone like Sensei reiterate it all makes all the difference in their understanding. All in all, you can't go wrong choosing this school for your kids. It may be the best decision you ever make for them. read more

I've been with CMAC for most of my childhood; started around nine years ago and of course, I didn't understand karate at first. However, I can wholeheartedly say that sticking with CMAC was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Having integrity, confidence, discipline and a sense of community are just a few examples of what I've learned. Here it's not just about getting to black belt, it's about genuinely getting something out of your training. I'm almost eighteen, not a black belt yet, but I can't thank this school enough for what it's done for me. If you're looking for somewhere to train hard with great people and learn things you may not expect, you've come to the right place. Much love for the Dapo. :) read more

There is a reason why CMAC DAPO is the BEST martial arts school in the GTA. Not only do they have a wonderful Sensei who has trained (and still trains) for over 30 years, they also focus on growth of character, kindness, values and self discipline along with self-defence. I have trained with Sensei Bassels for over 8 years and taken multiple workshops and seminars including women self-defense. What separates him from other instructors is that his teachings are realistic and applicable. He teaches you to be confident and to trust yourself and is always willing to give more time to those who need more help. My kids will definitely train here when they are old enough! read more

I've been training here for a few years. If you're looking for a no-nonsense martial arts place, this is it! Sure, there are other schools that focus on the competitive side, nothing wrong with that. Here the focus is more on martial arts as a real study. You also have to be fit and healthy to do it, and tough. You'll go home with bruises, but you'll feel more confident about yourself and your life in general. read more

Love this Dojo. The Sensei is kind and intelligent and always fair. I love that there is always more to just the great training. It is inspiring to be amidst the wealth of knowledge and passion that this place exudes. I could leave an essay about the values and amazing qualities Cmac missisauga has to offer but you should just go there, take a class and see for yourself! You'll be glad you did. read more

My children have been with the school since its inception, and I plan on them growing up and graduating to their first degree. This is the best education I have given them outside of their academics--it's about defending their life, their values, respect, and standing up for something. Thank you so much to the CMAC Yume Da Po Dojo for providing my children with these important life lessons! read more

When we moved to Mississauga, we looked for a dojo for our boys. We wants a place with a good sensei who was interested in teaching not only the techniques but also the values of Katate. Sensei Bassels and his team made my bouts feel supported and provided excellent teaching and support. The school offers great teaching and a real sense of community. read more

This dojo is a great place to go to, I don't know who wrote anything about the dojo, but they have helped me understand the morals of martial arts, they didn't just care about profit, but about social responsibilities, and of course their students, and teaching other through time, history technique and power. read more

I've had only positive experiences with this Dojo and its staff. Their knowledge and experience is top-notch and they've always treated me with kindness and respect. It also has a great community feel that I like about it and makes it feel very special. read more

Highly recommend this dojo to anyone of any age looking for quality martial arts. It is an investment in time and money, but well worth it, since you are investing in yourself! The lessons of Sensei Bassels have helped me inside and outside the dojo. read more

It's tough, you sweat, you work hard, that's the bottom line. Not your local mcdojo. Instructors are fit and know what they're doing. This is THE place to learn. read more

Being part of CMAC has been a wonderful experience, every day I learn more and the teachers are excellent and very dedicated to teaching us

Wonderful place. I'm glad my son had the opportunity to learn Karate here. I'd love to be trained here myself sometime in the future.
