About Us

Established in 1997 by Kyoshi James Fries, Heritage Martial Arts & Fitness Centre has become a unilateral training facility. Housing traditional martial arts, fitness, self defense, personal training, yoga, and nutrition counselling.

The goal of our karate classes is to teach the traditional martial art of Goju-Ryu using modern concepts in a practical manner so that it can be applied today. Our programs are designed for children and adults, from beginners to advanced. Karate training improves physical strength and stamina, increases self-confidence and self-esteem, and teaches self-control, self-awareness, and respect for others. It also reduces stress and helps promote a healthy lifestyle.

We teach the traditional Goju Ryu Karate system which was founded by Chojun Miyagi in Okinawa, Japan. Karate training improves physical strength and stamina, increases self-confidence and self-esteem, and teaches self-control, self-awareness, and respect for others. It also reduces stress and helps promote a healthy lifestyle.

Our fitness classes combine cardio kickboxing with body weight exercises and equipment such as dumbbells, kettle bells, TRX, battle ropes and many others to give you a full-body workout.
