OUR STORY

Why Train at Elite Martial Arts?

Founded in 1997 in Edmonton, Elite Martial Arts has grown from a humble beginning with seven students to a vibrant community of over 200 passionate adults and children. Led by Master Bartley and our skilled instructor team, Elite is a place where families come together, sharing the journey of learning and growth.

​At Elite, we value the family bond and encourage families to train together, creating a unique and supportive environment. Our approach goes beyond self-defense; it’s about self-improvement. We focus on fostering self-confidence, self-discipline, and respect, equipping our students to handle challenges with grace and strength.

​Our comprehensive curriculum exceeds the industry’s standards in physical conditioning, self-defense, and martial arts training. The enthusiasm of our instructors and the clarity of our goals make learning both enjoyable and effective.

​Participation in tournaments, both locally and nationally, is a significant part of our ethos, and our students have a proud history of championship wins. But more than the victories, it’s the lessons, friendships, and memories made at Elite that last years beyond training.

​Elite Taekwondo & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Edmonton isn’t just a martial arts school; it’s a community leader in fitness, self-defense, and personal development. It’s a place where families grow together, building skills and bonds that last a lifetime. Join us on this transformative journey for your body, mind, and spirit.

What do people say about Elite?

Ray and Rhonda DaSilva
" I have been training at elite for 12 years now and it is truly unmatched. The atmosphere is great and you feel like family here. A great place to foster a love of martial arts and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to start or continue their martial arts training."
Anett Meszaros
" Had the pleasure of training at Elite earlier this month while in Edmonton for work. I attended the evening NoGi class and the coach as well as students were an absolute blast to learn from! Drilling was not just a sweat fest but also lots of laughing! Great atmosphere, knowledgeable team, I’ll be back! "
David H Lee
" Since starting taekwondo at Elite my son has improved his physical skills and has had so much fun there (which also tires him out for bedtime), and is more confident. He has learned valuable lessons about hard work, respect, and discipline. I have been at Elite's BJJ program for several years and have benefited greatly. Elite is a family friendly club that provides a welcoming environment to newbies and experienced martial artists alike. "
