The CDMF was started in 1953 on the suggestion of Beryl MacLeod (Founder). At that time the students were participating in the Kiwanis Festival in Vancouver. The parents, children and teachers were weary of driving or taking the train all the way into the city and back, often returning late at night. Beryl suggested, 'Let's put Port Coquitlam on the map and start our own festival'.
Our mission is to develop students to have exceptionally strong character skills, moral ethics, and high personal standards through the instruction of Traditional Martial Arts.
To provide a fun and safe training environment free of negativity and ego.
To offer our students world class instruction by instructors who are constantly improving their skills both on and off the mats.
To recognize that every student’s path is unique, as was our own, and to continually challenge them to improve in all areas of their lives.
Established in 1999, EJS is a non-profit organization committed to providing quality fine arts training to all students in a fun, vibrant and creative environment.
Our Mission: Through quality martial arts instruction, we create a positive and empowering experience for every person who enters our schools. By teaching fitness, health, discipline, self-defense and life skills, we inspire our students to become leaders in their communities. We know it can be a little intimidating to jump right in to a program without any martial arts or kickboxing experience, so we invite you to take our 2 week trial. You can come and see our facility, meet our staff and attend 2 weeks with no obligation. You can see first hand how our staff and programs are designed to help people of all ages improve their lives.
