The Martial Arts Club Directory — http://www.martialartsclubdirectory.com — is the largest and most complete online database of its kind with over 600 local clubs, schools and academies in Toronto and Ontario.

A one-stop shop for those interested in finding out more about the martial arts, the directory connects martial artists with professional schools and instruction.

Along with in-depth articles and local martial arts news and events, the directory also offers a wide selection of high quality and professional clubs, schools & academies in Toronto and Ontario with plans to expand across Canada.

Founded by Ray Litvak, (Judo black belt and instructor), the goal of the directory is twofold: to provide an online source and resource for those new to the martial arts and to allow professional martial artists and club owners to profile their arts via basic club profiles and/or featured club profiles that include descriptions, logo, images, video and more.

Confusion exists among those new to the martial arts, especially with the rise of events like the UFC and Pride, both Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organizations and events that feature Grapplers, Strikers and/or combatants that use a mixture of both. Those interested in MMA and/or self-defense tend to gravitate towards Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Judo, Karate, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Taekwondo or Wrestling.

Those seeking spiritualism usually find what they’re looking for in less combative arts such as Aikido, Tai Chi and certain forms of Kung Fu.

Depending on individual goals, and with so many martial arts out there, choosing the right art and school can be difficult.

As Ray tells it, “I’ll often get asked from friends and family which is the best Martial Art. Inevitably, it comes down to individual goals, objectives and lifestyle. The Martial Arts Club Directory was born in an effort to answer basic questions about individual martial arts and help people to find the right one for them. Hopefully, the Directory helps match people with the best art, style and club to help them reach their goals while also promoting the benefits of practicing martial arts.”
