Three pillars, every class

We have built a family culture on the mats. Whether you want to compete or you want self defence and total fitness, the same three things come first.

  1. Safety

    Orientation before your first class, coaches on the mat, and sparring only when you choose it. Nobody gets thrown in the deep end.

  2. Fun

    Keep your head up, chin up, eyes open and have fun. Training partners who help each other learn are the whole point.

  3. Education

    Strong fundamentals in every art we teach, plus a daily lesson for life in the kids classes: responsibility, confidence, bully proofing and no negative self talk.

What members and parents say

In their own words, from our reviews.

Karm and his amazing coaches are the best out there. When our daughter started a few years ago, she was very timid and didn’t have a voice. Last year, someone tried to grab her on her way to school. She stayed calm, remembered her training, broke free from a wrist lock, defended herself, and got to school safely. Sign your kids up. You never know when they’ll need this training. Sean Greco Parent

My son has been taking classes here for just over a year and we have had a great time. The coaches are excellent and do a great job of mixing old-school discipline with fun games for younger learners. Despite having no martial arts experience, my son felt instantly welcomed and has forged some solid friendships with his classmates. The amount of growth we have seen in just over a year is astounding.

Jonathan Neufeld Parent

Coach Karm and Kaiten MMA have been life-changing for me. I came in looking to just have fun and get in better shape. It didn’t take long to get completely hooked and start looking at competing. This year, at 39 years old, I’m in the best shape of my life. The hardest part is walking in the front door.

Thad Primrose Muay Thai athlete

My kids have been with Kaiten for almost 3 years now. Started from a bullying situation. Now my kids definitely gained the skills to protect themselves, developed their self confidence and, the major one, self discipline. This gym has been our fight fam since.

Thea Monica Lopez Parent

I’ve always loved how engaged they are in the community, helping facilitate public events, running after-school programs, and providing direction and discipline to many of the youth in our community. There is such a diverse range of classes, there’s definitely something for everyone. 10 out of 10.

Darren Hanson Long-term member

From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and supported, no matter your skill level. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and push you to be your best while still making it fun. The training partners here are respectful and encouraging. It really feels like a family.

Mitch Kidd Member

I visited Prince George and trained kickboxing at Kaiten MMA for a few days, and I was seriously impressed. The space was clean and had great equipment. Coach Karm is knowledgeable, approachable, experienced, and clearly passionate about what he does. Some of the best kicking technique I’ve ever seen.

Since 2010 on Dominion Street

Kaiten was started by Karmjeet Manhas, a Prince George native, on the idea that martial arts is one of the best developmental activities there is, at any age. Sixteen years on, the academy is a character development program that happens to use martial arts and fitness as the medium.

We teach what works. Grappling classes are framed on Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, the world leader in leverage-based martial arts, with judo, wrestling and sambo in every session. Striking classes are framed on Muay Thai, with Taekwondo, karate and boxing where they earn their place.

  • Certified black belts and boxing and wrestling coaches
  • Separate striking gym and grappling gym
  • Competition team with national champions
  • School groups, team building and birthday parties
