Taekwondo is a combat sport. Opponents clash sporting a square area. They score points in the trunk and head mainly with the feet. Whoever has the most points wins.
JKS is the #1 martial arts school on the West Island. We have been leading the way in Self Defense, Kick Boxing, Boxing, MMA, Brazilian Jujitsu for 24 yrs. JKS was developed in 1987, Its founder James Monette had been training since 1968. His background by that time was extensive. He started with boxing and trained in several styles or karate earning his black belt 3 dan in Shorinjiryu Kenukai as well as 5th dan in Shorinji ryu Kente, competed in kickboxing, thai boxing, savate, full contact karate, judo, wrestling and jiu-jitsu. He also was in the armed forces and was a doorman and learned first hand in hundreds of combat situations that just one martial art alone was not enough to defend yourself. Teaching martial arts part time since 1982 James Monette decided to start a full time school in 1990. The school has grown into the largest and most respected martial arts school on the west island teaching by far one of the most effective self-defense martial arts in the world.
I have done martial arts for many years. After being at JKS I realized that those arts including the blocks and traditional techniques most arts practice are useless. If you want to learn how to defend yourself, come to JKS. If you’d rather look fancy and practice choreographic silly arts go somewhere else.
I do not part with my hard earned money easily. I joined JKS cautiously at first with a one month membership then one year. Now my second year. I love it. I am hooked! Great with kids too Read more

We believe that practicing and commiting to Krav Maga, the most effective self-defense system in the world, creates physically, mentally, and spiritually strong individuals. The exposure to realistic self-defense situations involving different levels of violence permits participants to develop bravery, discipline, self-control, emotional toughness, resilience and a sense of justice. While most of these qualities may exist as singular entities in individuals, it is their combination and consolidation that allows excellence, distinction and greatness to develop.
