Why let your children study at any other Martial Arts school? Our children’s programs are directed by 8th Degree Black Belt Kyoshi Tallack.

Our children’s program offers a variety of benefits for your child, benefits they receive as a result of their own hard work, dedication and discipline. Your child will be guided through the Tallack Martial Arts Learning Program by our highly trained and experienced instructors, and personally assisted by their own individual groups and coaches. The Tallack System is used by Martial Arts schools all across Canada!

Our classes are limited, so your child of whatever age will receive all the personal attention they need. While this can create the need for a waiting list for entry into the program, it ensures a consistent high quality-learning program for your child. Our goal is to see the children grow in confidence, developing strong powers of concentration through the physical and mental exercises of Karate.

Our children’s programs are first segregated by age and then experience level to ensure that the children receive the maximum benefit from their studies.

Goju Ryu Karate is the core adult program at Tallack Martial Arts. Our Master Instructor Kyoshi Tallack was responsible for introducing Goju Ryu Meibukan Karate-Do to Canada in 1984.

Goju Ryu (translated means “Hard and Soft Style”) Karate has its roots dating back many years, and is rooted in ancient Chinese Martial Arts.
Students have a chance to develop their mind, body and spirit in a classical learning environment.

The Karate class consists of a cardiovascular warm up followed by stretching. Then students practice basic Karate movements followed by partner exercises. Then student practices the Goju Ryu Kata and other curriculum.

Beginner classes are focused around developing a student's basic Martial Arts abilities as well as building a student's strength, flexibility and mobility.
If you are thinking about trying Martial Arts for the first time, or you are an advanced practitioner, you will find yourself right at home in a class at Tallack Martial Arts.

Okinawan Kobudo was developed by the Matayoshi Family in Okinawa, Japan. Many incorrect versions of Okinawan Kobudo now exist in North America, as there are very few authentic Kobudo instructors.

Okinawan Weaponry (Kobudo) is the ancient art of self defence using various weapons. The main weapons of Okinawan Kobudo are: Bo, Sai, Kama, Nunchaku, Kuwa, Eiku and Tonkwa.

Students learn ancient forms, fighting techniques and dynamics of Okinawan weaponry.

Grappling classes at Tallack Martial Arts are based on a combination of Hybrid Submission Ju Jutsu and Brazilian JiuJitsu. The classes focus on throws and take down techniques followed by extensive ground work and submission techniques.

The art of drawing the sword is one of the oldest of Japanese martial arts. Ancient samurai and masters practiced and trained with the Japanese sword known as the Katana. 

The art of Iaido is taught in a very calm class where hours spent on a single move is not uncommon. Patient attention is the key.  This training is not for everyone but it is for those who are looking for meditation while moving. Each move and step is taken with the utmost thought and care.

Every class is run by Sensei Bob Davis who has trained in various forms of martial arts for over thirty-five years and shares his knowledge of Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu with us.

The Kung-Fu Program at Tallack Martial Arts is a fast moving active class that will stretch your flexibility and acrobatic ability to new limits. We focus on the Shaolin 5 animal Style of Kung fu, which encompasses the Dragon, Tiger, Crane, Leopard, and Snake.  Walking, jumping, running and flying kicks are patiently explained and thoroughly coached. The unique hand sets of Shao-lin are introduced slowly with attention to detail.

Classical forms based on the movements of the animals are taught nightly and the application of the techniques are always carefully reviewed. 
The Kung Fu program also incorporates intense sparring activities. Mock combat including striking, grappling, joint locks, high and low kicks are all included to teach students the fundamentals of combat and self defense.

World Champion Rob Tallack’s Karate Kids is an innovative Martial Arts program which is sweeping the Kingston area. We bring world class Black Belt instructor’s right to the children’s elementary school and run a 45 minute long Martial Arts lesson during their lunch recess.
