Why Choose 10th Planet Ont. Inc. for Your Child?
Not all kids' activities are created equal. While traditional sports and recreational programs have their benefits, our preschool martial arts program is designed to develop confidence, focus, and essential life skills—alongside physical activity. See how we compare:
Traditional sports and play-based programs focus mainly on movement but may not emphasize personal growth.
Large class sizes or team sports can make it difficult for coaches to focus on each child’s individual progress.
Many kids’ sports put heavy emphasis on competition, which can lead to pressure and frustration.
Traditional activities often focus only on physical play without structured lessons in respect, focus, and self-control.
Our program blends fitness with essential skills like discipline, coordination, and problem-solving.
Small class sizes ensure every child gets the attention and guidance they need to thrive.
Kids advance at their own pace, celebrating effort and improvement rather than just winning.
Children learn patience, listening, and social skills while building self-esteem in a positive environment.
Martial Arts Teaches Kids to Move with Purpose and Control
At 10th Planet Ont. Inc., preschoolers quickly learn that every movement in martial arts has meaning. Through fun and engaging exercises, they develop body awareness, balance, and coordination while practicing self-control in a structured setting.
By refining their motor skills and improving hand-eye coordination, children gain a better understanding of their physical abilities. This helps them move with intention, reducing clumsiness and fostering a sense of confidence in their everyday activities.
Martial Arts Helps Kids Develop Focus at an Early Age
Keeping a young child engaged can be a challenge, but our preschool martial arts classes make learning focus both fun and rewarding. Through structured activities, kids practice listening carefully, following instructions, and completing small, achievable tasks—building their attention span in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
These concentration skills don’t just stay on the mats. Parents often notice that their child is more attentive at home and more prepared to listen and learn in school. By reinforcing patience and mindfulness, martial arts lays the foundation for strong learning habits that will benefit them for years to come.
Martial Arts Teaches Kids How to Overcome Challenges
Learning new skills takes time, and at 10th Planet Ont. Inc., young students discover that progress comes through patience and effort. Our preschool martial arts program introduces goal-setting in a way that is both achievable and rewarding, helping children understand that challenges are opportunities for growth.
When faced with frustration, they learn to stay calm, keep trying, and celebrate small victories along the way. The physical activity in each class also provides a healthy outlet for energy, reducing stress and improving emotional resilience. These lessons help kids navigate everyday frustrations with confidence—both on and off the mats.
Martial Arts Helps Kids Handle Wins and Losses with Confidence
No one enjoys losing, but learning how to handle setbacks with grace is an important life skill. At 10th Planet Ont. Inc., we teach young students that challenges and mistakes are part of the learning process. Instead of focusing on winning or losing, they discover the value of perseverance, effort, and continuous improvement.
Even though martial arts is an individual practice, our classes emphasize teamwork and support. Kids cheer each other on, celebrate progress together, and build friendships rooted in respect. By fostering a positive and encouraging environment, we help children develop a mindset that prepares them for success in all areas of life.

We started our son about 10 months ago and we have had the most wonderful experience there. He does both jiu jitsu and Muay Thai there. He started the gym as a very shy and sensitive little guy and now he is outgoing and very confident. Coaches Mike, Johnny and Quincy are absolutely amazing. He loves going there 6 times a week. We ended up also signing up for the adult classes ourselves. I hadn’t exercised in 8 years and coach Quincy took me under her wing and I fell in love with Muay Thai. It has turned into my favourite part of the day and I’ve made friends along the way as a bonus. I look forward to every class now. I’ve seen my own progress and it motivates me to keep going. I absolutely love this gym.
I was visiting Toronto for a few days, and I was able to drop in for a few classes. My experience was great. Everyone was welcoming. The instruction was great. The rolls were awesome. The facilities are nice too. I wouldn't hesitate to visit again if I am in the area. If you are looking for a jiu jitsu gym in Toronto 10th Planet, is it.
I cannot emphasize enough on how great this gym and the community they have built. Micah is one of the best coaches you can ever train with! The people you roll with will always teach you something new and you only grow!!! I am so happy to be a part of 10thP etobicoke and I would recommend anyone who wants to learn and grow to check this out. I bet you will never want to leave❤️💪🏼
Great facility and fantastic instruction. The mat space is huge, with lots of room to roll and do take downs if you choose too. Variety of classes and great instructors. Micah the head coach is humble but hands down has the best grappling pedigree in the GTA. A competitive wrestler, gi black belt then earning a black belt in the 10p no gi system . The vibe is relaxed and the people are welcoming. I’m an older grappler and have the ability to pick my rolls with no ego. If you are looking for the traditional bow to the instructor , buy my my patches, and don’t be late or you can’t train … this is not the place. Conducive to adult learning. The kids classes are phenomenal as well. Well attended and they have a blast while learning important life skills. I can’t say enough about the place. If your new to jiu jitsu make sure to attend fundamental classes though you are welcome to come to the open classes. Just keep an open mind and stay positive because everyone has a day one in the sport.
I am from another city and I was down for a few days. I had a very good experience people were great.
MICAH was good to explain, very detail oriented. We did lots of drilling for the first part of the class and for the second part we did lots of rolling. The gym, and the changing room was very clean.
I would definitely recommend this gym to everyone.
This place has become like a second home for my entire household. I started trying out something more physical (As a mid-30s desk jockey) and now both my kids and even my wife are loving both the classes and the community you'll find here.
The benefits you get from training here ripple throughout your life.
The Staff go out of the way to try and make this place great.
Highly recommend making this gym part of your life.
10P/EMA is amazing! It’s become a complete family affair as my kids, husband and myself are all taking classes. The staff and coaches are friendly and knowledgeable and have built a strong community in the gym. It’s been great to see our boys develop and progress in both BJJ and Muay Thai in just a few months.
For any females shy but interested to try out a martial arts class, I highly recommend the women’s Muay Thai class taught by Coach Quincy. She is highly skilled, patient and keeps every class fun and encouraging. We’re constantly learning new skills and techniques and we have a wonderful group of women who lift each other up and support each other’s development.
Anyone looking to try or get back in to martial arts should definitely come to 10P/EMA!
Never felt more at home at a school

The stuff is very helpful, especially Damian! He has assisted me multiple times and was always honest and professional!
Best No-Gi gym in the country. I have been to many jiu-jitsu gyms in the GTA over the past 15 years, so I know what I am talking about. Also its a very clean gym with a good shower facilities and parking.
Micah is the game changer in this gym. world class technique and a pleasure to be around. it's one thing being in a great gym but its another to be with a great coach.
This place is my go-to for my fitness and to surround myself with a full room of like-minded and dedicated people. I first started in a women’s group but I ended up joining the beginners for both genders and I appreciate how safe, respectful, and inclusive everyone is. And learning self defence is so fun and empowering
State of the art gym, big open space, great coaches. This is the best place to learn BJJ and Muay Thai in Toronto!!!
By far the most welcoming, positive gym I have been to in the GTA. Micah is a top level competitor and a world class instructor, his classes are extremely well run and his assistants ensure every student gets the attention they need. The kids program is fantastic for all ages I urge everyone to get their kids in to Jiu Jitsu at this school!
