Welcome to The Canadian Black Belt Academy
Greatness is more of a reflection of your influences and your character than it is an individual element of your achievement. We are committed to educating and developing high-caliber and responsible martial artists at The Canadian Black Belt Academy who are physically capable, mentally focused, and spiritually compassionate in everything they do.
We instill values, not skills. With trained Black Belt teachers, state-of-the-art equipment, and a focus on personal development, our karate programs for kids, teenagers, and adults are second to none in the industry. By both guidance and example, our students are taught to be courteous, well-mannered, and committed to being the best they can be on and off the mats. We offer a wide range of martial arts programming tailored to your training needs and busy schedule. Private sessions are also open.
We came to CBBA after a bad experience at another academy, and Coach Rick has completely turned things around. He’s patient, fun, and has total control over the class while fostering a respectful and supportive environment. When my son or any of the kids struggle with instructions, Coach Rick or the other coaches always take the time to show them and ensure they understand.
Since joining, my son is more motivated—both in Jiu Jitsu and in everyday life. We’re so glad to be a part of Coach Rick’s class and can’t wait to continue learning. Highly recommend CBBA for anyone looking for a place where kids not only learn Jiu Jitsu but also build confidence and character!

So grateful to have found this place ❤️ Coach Rick was extremely receptive from the beginning. He is focused, present, and you can feel the love for what he does. The atmosphere is friendly and empowering, and in a very short time I’ve met many amazing human beings. BJJ classes started changing my son right away — he’s become more confident, empowered, and is learning to stay calm and breathe through discomfort, which is a life skill. It was so good that I joined shortly after, and BJJ has already changed so much in me too. Every class feels like therapy. I couldn’t recommend Gracie Humaita Mississauga more for both children and adults. You will be in great hands!

Coach Rick, Coach Latvia and the entire Team have been an incredibly supportive addition to our village. As a busy mom wanting the best for her child, I chose this Team to teach, model and encourage strong values that will outlast any challenge life presents. It's been nearly 5 years since my child joined and it has been one of the best decisions I have made. My child has developed lifelong skills, character and confidence - a dream come true as a parent! The added bonus of meeting some great families makes it even better of an experience.
