My three daughters have been studying ITF Taekwon-do here for several years and recently decided to join myself.
Master Phil and his wife Amelia have a fantastic team and speaking from personal experience I can say that they truly do care about their students and families. They also care deeply about the community and have raised funds for various organizations through the years.
I highly recommend Black Belt Excellence for anyone of any age!

BBX has an amazing team lead by Master Phil. This is a great place for martial art training as a family or individually. I started my TKD training here over 6 years ago and recently attained my 2nd degree black belt. You will be challenged physically and mentally and you'll be surprised at the things you can do when you push yourself. Two thumbs up for BBX!!
We did it! We just passed our black belt 1st dan test! My 3 kids and I live in Barrhaven but have traveled to Kanata for 4 years to train with Mr. Phil and his team. And now, we continue but have added 3 of our little kids into the family.
1) Parents If you're a parent who is looking for an activity for kids that not only keeps them healthy in mind, body and spirit, but also has the values and infrastructure to support your kids (or yourself!) in developing essential life skills, then I highly recommend Black Belt Martial Arts Academy.
2) Your Health After taking kids to their activities for a few years and realizing I was getting out of shape, I had to figure out a solution. Taekwon-Do has helped me get into the best shape in years and has been the best source for stress management as a parent running a small business and taking care of 6 kids. Master Phil takes your health with utmost value and does his very best to teach, inspire and support you in your health goals.
3) Deeper Family Connection We were in a blended family situation and now that we've completed four years together, the bonus surprise that is most important to us was that we came together through some tough times. As the kids went through their teenage years and challenges that came with it. As I went through my own challenges. We become so much closer and supported each other. And once you spend the time at BBX, you'll see that this is an incredible school with incredible family values.
As part of our black belt test, we had to develop a project that described what TKD meant for us. Here is just a very small snippet that summarizes it all.
We got excited. We got tired. We got busy. We got frustrated. We got inspired.
We nearly gave up Tae Kwon Do We nearly gave up on each other. We nearly gave up on ourselves
We found comfort. We found safety. We found each other. We found our individual selves.
A family that kicks together, truly does stick together!
Master Phil is excellent with the kids! It's my daughters first time in little dragons, and last Saturday was her first class, and I already highly recommend them. Master Phil and the other students are great at getting her involved and getting her to loosen up!
Master Phil, the owner, is exceptionally patient and very encouraging. I highly recommend anyone looking for a fun confidence building activity for their children check out Black Belt Excellence.
My youngest son began Taekwon-Do in 1999 on a whim and soon after, the rest of our family joined him. With the exception of our oldest son, we simply kept going for another 19 years. Under Master Phil s leadership, we built enough confidence and experience to become Senior Instructors, where my youngest son continues to this day.
Black Belt Excellence Martial Arts Academy is a family oriented Taekwon-Do school that offers a fun and positive atmosphere in which to not only learn the art of Taekwon-Do but also life skills and confidence. Whether you choose to train with your family, friends or like minded adults, classes are always led by enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructors that care about your well-being and success.
