Some of the regulars gave us pointers... thank goodness as I wasn't having a lot of luck. Ok, luck is subjective! I hit other peoples' targets 1 and 2 lanes over. Yes, I'm shaking my head too. With an hour or so of practice, I got better. Hit the paper target too-my OWN! I took the advice in Carley's post for first-timers about wearing a long-sleeved shirt. Good advice. No injuries were sustained, but I was a bit stiff the next day. Definitely, posture made a difference in my shot, and figuring out how to not get your bust caught in the bow. :-D Robin Hood I am not, but for my first time, pretty successful. I understand there are bows for kids available to rent, and the youngest they've had was 4. FOUR! So any age, any ability. It's a great sport to try - you might just love it as much as we did. Looking forward to coming for another visit. Closed on Wednesdays, but check for hours. Weekdays are better for fewer people and quick turns.

I had a BLAST trying out Wyld Archery last month You'll find them on the southside of the…read moreYellowhead and 149th street in a large new building with tall glass windows. Justin, the owner, was hilarious and easy to talk to. He gave great advise for a newbie like me and was patient as I came back a few times for additional help/tips. The prices are totally affordable for trying out Archery (as in under $20!) and I love that you can come back the same day for one price. Justin did warn that the weekends are jam packed and recommended that weekdays might be easier for newbies. Justin has a pretty impressive store set up with tons of stuff to look through whether looking for hunting supplies or fun. I couldn't help but take a picture of the 100% doe and buck pee in a can to text my 7 year old at home who was rolling on the floor laughing. But on a serious note, if archery is your thing, Sir Justin can hook you up! P.S. Schools come here for archery and kids as young as 4 can come here as he has smaller bows for them! I CANNOT wait to come back!

There are so many 'experts' willing to provide you with belts and stripes to feed your ego. At…read moreEdmonton Gracie Jiu jitsu you leave your ego at the door and come to learn. What you learn and earn is life changing. Those who criticize this honest hardworking approach are justifying why their past is better than what they might be. Why would you limit yourself this way? Fear. Fear that you may have wasted your time. Rather face the fear and make your own decision. Be your own person. Don't follow some 'guru' blindly. If you embrace this and it's not for you, what have you lost? Some time and a little money. If you sit back and criticize, you show small mindedness and fear, and worst of all an inability to learn. I have trained Gracie Combatives for 17 mos and worked with Jeff Greekas twice, recently. I am almost 50. 30 years ago I was training with the Canadian Olympic wrestling team. I feel qualified to say that this is the real deal. You won't regret the time you spend here.

Our son has been in this Bullyproof program for over 2 years now, and we love the changes we've…read moreseen in him since the beginning. Jeff has a way to pull the best out of each child while building on their weaknesses. As one of the other parents pointed out in their review, the circle time the kids have is such a great opportunity for the children to share their experiences with bullying and it really let's kids know they are not alone. Every few months, the kids have "Gracie Game Day", and must earn points at home if they want to attend. Points are based on chapter topics such as respect, citizenship, manners, responsibility & others, which the children are eager to score big points (huge for character building). I can't say good enough things about this club. 5 stars for sure!

Attending Krav Maga classes with TIP OF SPEAR has changed my life in so many positive ways. This…read moredoes not only support fitness, but teaches practical self-defense, something I can actually use to protect myself. I feel like I am accomplishing something; building a skill I am proud of. The class environment is supportive and welcoming. David Suffern is amazing at what he does. He is positive, brings in humour, and fun into the class. David challenges his students, but is supportive. He is flexible, working with a variety of different body types and abilities. He clearly breaks down technique, supports, and adapts as necessary to ensure his students are grasping the material. He not only explains why we do something, but also demonstrates context to further understanding. On a personal level, I have seen improvements in all aspects of my life. My confidence, fitness, mental health, and quality of life have improved greatly. No matter how terrible my day is, I am determined to go to class, because when I get there, I am smiling, laughing, and ready to go. As someone with anxiety and PTSD, Krav Maga with David and the Krav Maga family has been a safe and incredible place to be. No matter how anxious I am before class, my anxiety disappears after walking in. It has taken some of my PTSD symptoms and redirected them into a skill, given them a focus, so much so, that my family has noticed a difference. I can't imagine my life without Krav Maga, and more importantly the people at Tip Of Spear who I have grown to respect and care for.

After looking around at several options online and in-class for the Alberta Basic Security Training…read moreCourse, I found tip of spear! Now, tip of spear was NOT the cheapest option, but it is THE BEST option! Conveniently located, this clean, and friendly facility offers everything you need to advance your security/law career, or make a start for one! They also offer Krav Maga classes which I did not try but I will be trying! The course was well spaced over 5 days with a review on the 5th day before the test which was a really great feature in my opinion. Not only was the course well detailed and well explained, but offered more than just BASIC knowledge to help you in the real world! With the great staff at Tip Of Spear I was able to achieve a 100% with NO prior knowledge of the security industry! That is a reflection on them in my opinion! Over all, GREAT training facility with great staff! I will be recommending them to any and all who are looking for training!

We love archery! Jim bows has the best staff working there-…read moreCarson in particular is the friendliest dude working there and definitely always makes us feel welcome. Helpful and thy really watch after their customers New and old. I find all of them complimenting people and helping to offer tips. Our friend joined us one time and his bow needed to be cleaned and greased and they were so quick to not only help him out but give their expert advice on the condition of his bow. This is definitely more of a compound bow place, they rent Genesis bows and compound bows. We are traditional recurve people and don't get me wrong receives are welcome they just aren't in the majority here. Come on a Tuesday with a friend! Great incentive if you have your own gear and come on a Tuesday it's only $20 for the two of you. Other targets are welcome- like balloons and we have brought the occasional stuffed toy and other targets just to add that little fun, but they do supply you with a standard target. Range is 20 yards and they have these super cool wooden wall pieces that they can move around to help create a closer target for beginners. They even used them one time to create two separate groups. There was a large group that rented out half the space and Jim Bows was really conscientious for their regulars/people paying that they created this separate section for the group which allowed the regulars to shoot at their pace and not have to be held up by the groups pace. Can you buy stuff here? Absolutely! They have a great selection of bows, gears, hunting stuff. And the service area is right smack in the centre so as you shoot you can have your gear worked on a check in on the progress. We highly recommend this place for both beginners and those who are fond of the fun sport of archery.

Absolutely a great place to let loose some arrows and meet some fellow archers! Who are of coarse…read moreall friendly I have mainly dealt with Carson and David ( co-owners) they are super welcoming and very knowledgeable to help out wether your just learning or have questions about a bow you own. They also boast a shop right there where they can adjust your bow. The rates are very well priced and there are also available deals for couples , they can provide lessons and rentals ( typically compound bows). The store front has plenty of bows ( compound mostly) hunting gear, and all the bits and pieces you would need for launching some arrows! I always refer this place now due to the vibe and friendly service. It is located in an industrial park, the parking has never been an issue there is plenty

Nothing worth doing is easy and this goes for BJJ. The rewards are the people you meet and the knowledge you gain and share. It is very fullfilling. Additonally, for several hours a day, focusing on BJJ takes my mind off of any other problems that I have whether its a stressful job or a bad day in general. They say meditaton is good, well....bjj is great and gets you in shape too). At Bravé MMA, my training experience has been transformed under the expert guidance of Coach Kenny and his older brother, Coach KB, an MMA champion. Coach Kenny's deep knowledge and approachable style in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, combined with Coach KB's exceptional skill in boxing, BJJ and Muay Thai, create an unparalleled learning environment. Their commitment to each student's growth, whether in competitive spirit or skill development, is evident in every class. The gym's focus on safety, personalized training, and fostering a positive, supportive atmosphere sets it apart, in my opinion. Unlike my previous gym experience, Brave MMA emphasizes skill and personal development over a transactional, attendance-based approach. This nurturing environment, where challenges are met with encouragement and individual strengths are honed, makes Bravé MMA a unique and rewarding place for anyone passionate about martial arts.

One of my favourite places to release stress and pretend I'm Rambo for a day!!…read more (Yes, running along dark corridors, guns a blazin', kicking doors, shooting everything that moves with not nearly the accuracy I wish I had... but the adrenaline rush is well worth it lol!) It seems every time I come back there's something new or something changed here, like the new name changed from Capital Airsoft, or newer rentals, better gear, improving/changing layout of the 'map' (area you shoot in), different game plays.... I definitely like this place more now than my first visit here, as they try to keep things fresh by changing up the layout every so often, moving around objects and items that aren't permanently bolted to the floor or ceiling (doors, crates, windows, barrels, other hiding places, etc). The viewing area is also a huge improvement compared to before, sporting a couple new windows that peek into the semi-dark-lit gaming area, watching players getting picked off by opposing forces. Or, it's also a nice space to clear the tables and whip out some board games haha! The staff are also pretty good at suiting up us newbies, or having more intense intellectual conversations with the more seasoned players on upgrades, problems, solutions, and other cool stuff. Fun fact: The building also has another space on the main floor (Airsoft being upstairs), where wicked fencing-sword training and Krav Maga are happening! Sounds super cool and planning to check those out soon!!
