Janet and Chris have been coaching and running a martial arts gym since 2009, first with Martial Arts Planet in Kingston and later with Hayabusa Academy.
They built The Chop Shop on a simple idea: martial arts should be technical, challenging, and effective, but also fun, welcoming, and down to earth.
They know how intimidating it can be to walk into a gym for the first time, so they have created a place where people can relax, be themselves, and enjoy learning.
No inflated egos. No weird hierarchy. Just good coaching, good people, and a respectful, upbeat atmosphere. Whether your goal is self defense, fitness, confidence, competition, or just trying something new, Chris and Janet want The Chop Shop to feel like a place where you belong.
