A Family
Since 2012

Kawartha Combat opened its doors in December 2012 and has been Peterborough's home for serious — but never intimidating — martial arts ever since. A top-tier, family-oriented facility specializing in today's most effective disciplines.

We're not just about martial arts. We're about a community where:

  • Sharp minds are honed through disciplined practice
  • Real-life skills build confidence and safety
  • Teammates become lifelong friends

Every transformation on our mats — every member who walks in nervous and walks out taller — is why we hold the highest standards of instruction, service, and program structure.

“Big clean facility, lots of equipment, lots of class choices for all ages, levels and ladies too. Once you enter this gym you will feel welcome and part of a family.”
