CMAC Dapo
Martial Arts School in Mississauga, ON.
In the business's own words
Kids, teens, and adults train at Dapo Martial Arts to get stronger, sharper, and steadier under pressure. Teaching since 2003 and in Mississauga since 2005, we run self-defence-based Karate-do, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Arnis/Kali, and Tai Chi Chuan/Qi Gong, ages 4 to adult. Shy kids find their confidence long before any rank, and parents tell us the change shows up at home and at school. Teens find a discipline that carries into their schoolwork. Adults get a workout that clears the head, plus a women's-only class runs weekly. We can't give you a belt. Only your own work can, and consistent training is how it happens. Over 60 have earned a black belt here. Weekday evenings and weekend mornings. Free trial class. The way is in training.

CMAC Dapo and confidence built on the mat
Confidence is what CMAC Dapo is known for. Many reviewers describe a shy child, teen or adult who grew more sure of themselves after training here. Several also credit patient, committed instructors who care about each student.
The school says it has taught since 2003 and has run classes in Mississauga since 2005. Its standard is plain: a belt comes from the student's own steady work, never as a gift. The school reports that more than 60 students have earned a black belt.
Reviewers most often mention a welcoming dojo with a strong sense of community, and teaching that pays off at home and in school. CMAC Dapo holds a 4.9 rating across 99 Google reviews.
Karate and jiu-jitsu classes at CMAC Dapo
Programs run from age 4 through adult. Its website names Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Arnis/Kali and self-defence-based Karate-do among its arts. The school describes its approach as realistic and practical, with self-protection at the core.
The school is open 10 am to 9 pm every day except Friday, when it is closed. New students can start with a free trial class, the school says.
Mississauga had 717,961 residents in 2021, per Statistics Canada. Environment Canada normals for 1981-2010 give the city 785 mm of precipitation and 108 cm of snow a year.
One reviewer's daughter took private lessons here. The school also states that it runs a women's-only class each week.
Google Reviews
The best martial arts studio in the Toronto area. Masters Jason and Riezl are experts and extremely dedicated to teaching the disciplines, attending to young people and adults with equal mastery. Certainly a benchmark in the martial arts history of the region, and perhaps of all of Canada.
Highly recommend DAPO Martial Arts! As a mom, seeing my child happy, comfortable, and gaining confidence means everything. DAPO Martial Arts is also very affordable and provides a free uniform upon signing up. I enrolled my son in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at DAPO Martial Arts this summer just to keep him busy, as he’s not usually interested in going out or trying new activities. I was pleasantly surprised to see such a positive change in him after only few classes. When I asked if he wanted to switch programs, it was a definite No!
Excellent gym for kids and adults... great community and comraderie. 👌
