Janet and Chris have been coaching martial arts since 2009, first with Martial Arts Planet in Kingston and later with Hayabusa Academy.

They built The Chop Shop on a simple idea: training should be technical and challenging, but also fun, welcoming, and down to earth.

They know starting can feel intimidating, so they’ve created a space where people can relax, be themselves, and enjoy learning.

No egos. No hierarchy. Just solid coaching, good people, and a respectful, upbeat environment where you can build skill, confidence, and feel like you belong.
