“Be a Leader. Not a Follower.”

I’m Robert Salter, and together with my wife Katie, we run Family Martial Arts Centres—a place built by families, for families. As parents ourselves, we truly understand the challenges kids face growing up, and we’re here to support them every step of the way.

At our centre, your child will have a blast learning the exciting Korean martial art of Tang Soo Do. But what we teach goes far beyond kicks and punches! We’re all about helping kids build confidence, stay active and healthy, learn practical self-defence, and develop Life and Leadership Skills that will benefit them in everyday life.

Our goal is to help your child grow stronger—physically, mentally, and emotionally—in a fun, safe, and encouraging environment. Most importantly, we focus on personal leadership skills: giving children the confidence to

say no to peer pressure
make smart choices
choose good friends
and always strive to be their best
