5 Elements Martial Arts is a family and community oriented Martial Arts school, created in and serving South Calgary communities since 2004. Regardless of age (5 Elements was the first preschool Martial Arts program in Calgary), size, interest or skill level, you will find a place here – 5 Elements Martial Arts offers classes in multiple disciplines, including Shotokan Karate, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing and Jiujitsu. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to continue an existing journey in the world of Martial Arts, you fit here. 

5 Elements trains hundreds of students each week, is recognized by the World Karate and Kickboxing Council and is the largest standalone school in Western Canada with the most National and World Champions west of Ontario. We train competitive fighters at all levels, including UFC fighters, however, we are also passionate about and have extensive experience working with young children and individuals with special needs, and work hard at developing champions both inside and outside of the school.

At 5 Elements, we believe in a multifaceted approach to martial arts and understands that people want to train for reasons that list A to Z, including weight loss, getting fit, increasing flexibility and mobility, building self-confidence and self-esteem, improving focus and concentration, the desire to compete, or are driven to earn a black belt. As a result, we foster a very welcoming and inclusive environment in our school.

From Little Dragons students to longtime teachers, many have been with us from our humble beginnings in a small, single dojo, to our current space, involving three fully functional dojos, all of our own equipment, fourteen hanging bags available for class usage, a spectator’s area, bathrooms and a private shower. For most, 5 Elements Martial Arts has become their place to belong.
