I am the mother of a boy, who after many diagnosis from several different doctors, was told my son has a number of behavioral disorders. As heartbreaking as that was to hear and deal with I was so relieved to finally find a place where my son was welcomed and not judged for his disability, but encouraged to thrive beyond expectations.
We tried everything from Cubs, Tee-ball, to city soccer league. While all of them were friendly and tried to work with my son, not one could keep his interest for any period of time. He would loose interest and walk off to do his own thing. He had no focus or ambition for anything he tried.
Then while searching the webs for something to help my son, I came across a website for The Peaceful Warriors'. The name alone made me feel comfort. I set up a meeting with Master Art and his son Master Curt. After talking to them and explaining my son's disorders, Master Art assured me that they were not worried about dealing with my sons unusual behaviors and with a very respectful confidence, he assured me my son would excel in his karate school.
I has been two and a half years since my son joined The Peaceful Warrior's school. He will soon become a Red Belt, is in the Black Belt Club, and on the Demo Team, by his own choice.
In less then three years at this school, my son has grown into a calmer, happier more pleasant person to be around. I believe that this school is more then that, they truly want to see children reach their full potential. They have made such a difference in our lives, they believe it takes a village to raise a healthy well rounded child, and they show it in many ways. The Peaceful Warriors' are always in touch with parents on the progress or need improvements of each child. They even ask for input from the child's grade or high school teachers, before they can advance to another belt.
Please believe me when I say that I tried everything to find positive outlets for my son's Hyperactive behavior and until I found The Peaceful Warriors' family, I though it was hopeless for my son to ever fit in anywhere.
So in closing, I give my most sincere thanks to the many Masters, instructors and people involved in The Peaceful Warriors' family. You all truly have made a positive difference in my family's lives..."
Sincerely - Claire Dupont, Windsor Ontario

Positive Role Models: What is the biggest asset of Art Mason's Peaceful Warriors' Martial Arts Institute? The is easy, the teachers! Now, I’ll tell you up front. They are not like the teachers you’ve seen in the Martial Art movies. Are they “tough guys?” Yes. But what you will notice (and so will your child)…is that they are “Nice Guys.” They have been hand selected…not just because they are great Martial Artists. They have been chosen because they are wonderful people…and have a great love of helping others benefit from the Martial Arts! They also must pass a rigid certification course overseen by Master Art Mason himself. Our instructors care about each and every student individually and will work hard to assure that their potentials are reached.
-
Physical Fitness: It is hard to feel good about yourself if you are out of shape. Adults and children both get a great workout, that is fun at the same time! When a student starts to see progress in the physical work they are doing, their self image follows as well.
-
A High Energy, Exciting Environment: Many kids & adults have grown accustomed to virtual activities (video games, television, internet). Participating in an exciting, high energy environment, focused on an actual activity, will give your your or your child a very real sense of achievement!
-
Learning to Set Goals: Our belt system is one of the keys to our success. On a very subtle level the student is taught to set goals and achieve them! Over time the student starts to set goals in their non martial arts life as well, and has the tools to make these goals a reality.
-
The Message of the Week: Regular exposure to our message of the week, which happens at the start of each and every class. These messages are on such topics as respect, focus, persistence, courage, discipline and confidence. Most of the parents at Art Mason's Peaceful Warriors' Martial Arts Institute find this is their favourite part of out classes.
-
Curriculum Based Development: Our certified teachers, Master Curt Mason, Master Scott Mason and Mr. Kevin Miller are experts in their field and understand how to teach your child the skills of listening and focusing. In fact, they will start to learn these skills in the first week.
-
A Series of Positively Constructed Challenges that will build your child’s confidence. You will be delighted as you see your children confidently move outside their comfort zone. As the weeks go by, you will smile with pride as your son or daughter moves from challenge to challenge…their confidence soaring at each new accomplishment!
-
An Atmosphere of Respect: You will watch in amazement as your child learns to give and to earn respect. But even more important is they will develop Self Respect.
-
Order and Structure: Even thought the atmosphere at Art Mason's Peaceful Warriors' Martial Arts Institute is friendly, supportive and fun, it is NOT playtime! You will be delighted to see how your children develop focus and persistence in our orderly, structured environment.
-
A Friendship Based Environment: If you are expecting to find harsh old world martial arts instructors at our school you will be very disappointed! The Cobra-Kai school you saw in the Karate Kid is not how we run our school. Our instructors are hand picked and trained in teaching for many years. There are no outside teachers on our floor, they are all home grown. The atmosphere created is one of respect and friendship. A mentoring environment and a strong student / teacher relationship. That atmosphere of friendship, support, and respect will give your child the support he or she needs to succeed!
