RAVE REVIEW
"Started year ago
and I wish I had of joined much sooner."
The
Yang's
I started with
Yang's Martial Arts over a year ago and I wish I
had of joined much sooner. Yang's provides a
fun, supportive atmosphere to learn a variety of
martial arts. Each week you gain new skills and
are faced with new challenges which leave you
excited to return to the next class.
Master Yang is an
extremely skilled, patient, and
knowledgeable teacher that understands the
individual level of each student and
ensures that his classes and his personal
coaching are tailored to each student's needs.
I highly recommend Yang's Martial Arts to
anyone, of any age, who has always wanted to
try Martial Arts or is just looking for a fun
way to keep in shape.

Practical Self-Defense
Our basic adult program is ideal for people with no Martial Arts
background. We are committed to ensuring every student
receives self-defense skills that are practical that does
not require years of training to work on the street or
on the competitive floor. Yang's Martial Arts is a
streetwise mixed martial arts system that incorporates the
techniques and concepts of Taekwondo, Kickboxing, and Hapkido
(Korean Jujitsu).
Our unique hybrid style will give you the ability to defend
yourself in virtually any situations.

" I started martial arts
last summer and can't express how much it's done
for me"
I started martial arts last summer and can’t
express how much it’s done for me. I’ve never
taken self defense classes before, so I was a
little nervous on my first day. But Master
Song-ho and the other black belts are all very
welcoming and helpful in taking any of my fear
away! On a physical level, you always manage to
shock your body and continue to improve on
fitness and strength as well as learning to
defend yourself! I continue to truly enjoy
training under Master Song-ho and look forward
to the new location!

Total Fitness
Unlike many other workouts, Yang's Martial
Arts includes all 3 aspects of physical conditioning:
Muscular Development tones and builds muscle
strength while improving your appearance.
Cardio Conditioning strengthens your heart
and lungs while increasing your daily energy level
and burning calories.
Flexibility reduces the chance of injury and
keeps you feeling young and agile.
Muscular Development+ Cardio Conditioning + Flexibility =
Total Fitness
All in all, you won't find a workout that is as
comprehensive and effective as our martial arts classes.
Our programs are fun and never boring. We'll get you
in shape fast, and we have programs to fit beginners.
Try it and see why martial arts has become the best workout
for adults and children.

" It has been such a
positive experience for me"
When I originally
started training at Yang's Martial Art, it was
for the sole purpose of self-defense, however, I
was able to get so much more out of it. It has
been such a positive experience for me. Yang's
Martial Arts is an excellent stress reliever
that not only gives you strength,

Our Martial Arts Kids &
Teenagers
More than just another after-school activity, Yang's Martial
Arts is exciting, fun, and disciplined. Our classes
holds children's attentions and improve their ability to

In our children's martial arts program, your child will
improve their confidence, increase their focus, and develop
more self-control. We can say this with confidence because
we have personally witnessed the positive effects our
programs have provided for children just like your own.

RAVE REVIEW
" My favorite part is when
you can try new cool kicks"
Yang's is a great
place because you learn a lot about blocks and
kicks. They help you learn good techniques. My
favorite part is when you can try new cool kicks
and tricks. They have great teachers that are
nice and helpful. I feel calm and brave. I have
gained more speed and power with my practice.

Confidence - By learning
how to protect themselves, your children will
develop confidence in their ability to handle life’s
challenges. In turn, their improved confidence will
give them the courage to say “no” to negative
influences.
Focus – We will help
your child increase their focus by giving them clear
goals and showing them how to reach those goals
through hard work and being consistent. (Of course,
they won’t realize they’re learning focus because
our classes are so much fun! But keep that to
yourself – it’ll be our little secret…)
Self-control – Kids
learn self-control in the martial arts by learning
how important it is to have respect, both for
themselves and for others. Martial arts training
teaches that in order to get respect, you first have
to give it. Once your child learns this important
lesson, their self-control will naturally increase.
As you can see, our martial arts
programs teach so much more than “just kicks and
punches.” We help children develop life-skills that will
take them far beyond the four walls of our martial art
school – benefits that will last them a lifetime.
Our Students
At Yang's Martial Arts Centre, we believe good
quality students comes from high quality
instructions. The classes are
organized and led professionally, and most important, students have fun
training and look forward to the next class.

" I have attended three
different Martial Arts schools and Yang's is by
far the best"
I have attended
three different Martial Arts schools and Yang's
is by far the best. Classes are always fun, a
great work out and we learn useful self-defence
skills. The best part is that Yang's welcomes
all types of students - those who wish to
compete as well as those who just want to get in
shape and have fun. Learning Martial Arts has
made me a stronger, more confident and happier
person. I am proud to be a member of Yang's
Dojang.

shields, Hand-held kicking/punching pads, Heavy bags,
and Freestanding bags, and other training equipment.

the cleanest and spacious martial arts centre in

Our Master
Instructor: Song-ho Yang
loves the martial arts, as you'll discover in our
classes. And we firmly believe that you'll love
our program too as you learn more about our program and
experience the joys and challenges of training.
Anyone who has stuck with martial arts will tell you
that martial arts is far more than a sport or means of
learning self-defense. Of course, it will take a
while to absorb all the lessons that the arts can teach
you, but you have to start somewhere. Everybody
does.
There is no comparison between fitness clubs to
Martial Arts schools. Martial Arts is a way of
life that teach mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Song-ho Yang has been a Martial Arts Instructor since 1990. He
actually
began his martial arts training in 1980 with his two
brothers under the guidance of their father,
Master Chang Man Yang,
8th Dan in Hapkido, 7 Dan Taekwondo, 4th Dan Judo.
Song-ho Yang has spent most of his life second to his
formal education; learning, teaching, training and
researching many different types of martial arts.
Master Yang believes that the
instructor should also be the student, therefore he
continue to study and increase his skills and knowledge
so that he can pass on the very latest in
self defense techniques and martial art knowledge to his
students.
Song-ho Yang and his two brothers
Yong-Hyok
Yang and Chae Sok Yang
have spent many years learning and training in Korea and
Canada. Combined Song-ho Yang and his two brothers
have won over 460 medals competing in Martial Arts
Tournaments in Korea, Canada, and United States.
Master Song-ho Yang currently studies under
Master Sun Myung Jung.
Song-ho Yang has enjoys working with
children and adults. He has found that his martial
arts training has helped in all aspects of his life and
he is very eager to pass on his knowledge to his
students.
