Our ultimate goal is to help students achieve a harmonious balance between the body and mind, leading to a healthier and more fulfilling life through martial arts.
Empowering Our Students
Expect Fun & Excitement When You Join Our Martial Arts Club
One of the activities that our students always look forward to is showing their newly learned skills and abilities. Whether that’s through individual and team demonstrations or tournaments.
At Edmonton Martial Arts, we promote healthy competition and sportsmanship. We motivate our students to face challenges with courage and support from our team. Our Karate students work hard to learn new techniques every class, from Karate Shotokan to Kyokushin.
Therefore, every quarter, we host events for students to demonstrate their new-found skills to friends and families! We also encourage our students to join competitions where they can further test their abilities as they practice good sportsmanship. Through team demos and tournaments, our students have been able to overcome their fears, build team spirit and boost their confidence. Most importantly, the students get to develop friendships and experiences while having fun!

The Story Behind
Edmonton Martial Arts’ History
Edmonton Martial Arts was founded in 2018 by Rudy Saleh, a Black Belt 8th Dan Karate Shotokan. From its inception, the objective has been to provide high-quality martial arts lessons to kids and adults. The dojo began with only Rudy as the instructor, offering karate classes that would help students learn self-defense while boosting their confidence and discipline.
As we welcomed more students, our classes expanded to include kickboxing, aikido, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, taught by other highly experienced instructors. Today, we are proud to offer a wide range of classes, ranging from beginner to advanced classes, available to adults and children ages 4 years and up.
Our mission remains the same: to provide top-quality martial arts classes that help students develop physical and mental strength. Join us today and become part of our growing martial arts community!
We have a team of highly skilled educators and instructors who will take great care of your children while they’re in our academy. At Edmonton Martial Arts, we are firm believers that play is how children learn. Therefore, our program is curated to incorporate play into the learning process, allowing children to explore and develop at their own pace.
Enroll your child in our before and after-school program today and see the positive impact that martial arts can have on their growth and development.

A Message From Our Founder
Hello! I am Rudy Saleh, Edmonton Martial Arts’ founder and president of the Canadian Traditional Karate Federation. Sometimes, trying out a new sport can be frightening, whether you’re starting as a child or as an adult. I started my martial arts journey with a lot of uncertainty.
However, as I continued practicing different styles of martial arts, I began to notice a positive impact on my physical and mental well-being. Joining various competitions improved my confidence and discipline. It taught me more about respect, humility, and honour. Practicing martial arts introduced me to new communities and experiences that opened many doors and taught me many life lessons.
I chose to specialize in Karate as it fit my personal goals and preferences best. Karate pushed me to develop a stronger work ethic, making me work harder and become a world Martial Arts Champion. After years of training, I proudly became a Black Belt 8th Dan Karate Shotokan and the president of the Canadian Traditional Karate Federation. I now hold multiple karate championships, including an African championship, an Arab world championship, and a Mediterranean Sea championship.
In 2018, I decided that I wanted to share my expertise and knowledge in martial arts with others in hopes that they would also find new communities and experiences that will help them succeed. Thus, I founded Edmonton Martial arts which offers various martial arts classes for adults and children ages 4 years and up.
I am very proud to have helped many improve their confidence and find a new way of life. I hope to be able to continue sharing my 45+ years of expertise with many more students at Edmonton Martial Arts.
