Joslin’s Mixed Martial Arts
Joslin’s Mixed Martial Arts was established almost 50 years ago. Rick Joslin, a three-time Canadian karate champion, founded the school in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and it has since grown to become one of the country’s most well-known martial arts schools. Rick was a pioneer of full-contact karate (kickboxing) in Canada, and his unbeaten kickboxing team was a formidable force in the 1970s. Moreover, about 10,000 students ages 4-60+ have been taught martial arts by Rick or his son Jeff Joslin since the school opened.

“I was nervous going in, as the last time I did anything strenuous was 25 years ago before I had health problems. But the instructor Jeff was so welcoming I felt comfortable right from the start. He has an amazing teaching style of demanding yes, but also very encouraging, motivating, and recognized efforts of people. I will be continuing to go and look forward to learning from such a mentor as Jeff…he is the real deal.” – TL Sibb

“Our kid has started Karate at Elite Leadership Martial Arts since 2019. We all love this wonderful place!
Sensei are nice and professional, kids all seem to cooperate well. Except the practical techniques, we love the way that the Sensei teach kids how to develop good behaviour/habits/leadership toward real life! Especially, their recent “6 Animal Character Development Program” which is very interesting. We find that our kid love to obey the “rules” from the program which help a lot to develop his daily good habits. We highly recommend Elite Leadership Martial Arts:)” – Zheng Charles
