Apex Martial Arts Competition Kids team is dedicated to providing a positive and enriching experience for all our members.  Our team fosters a sense of community and connection by bringing families together for the common goal of cultivating self confidence, camaraderie, and sportsmanship in our youth. 

Our team is made of dedicated and talented young athletes who have worked tirelessly to prepare, and dream of showcasing their efforts during competition. However, we will need your help to make this season a success! 

We invite you for a night of food, drinks and great company. We hope to see you all at our Apex Gala Night. Tickets are available at the front desk. If you are unable to make our Gala night there are other ways to help. We are seeking support through gift donations; for example, raffle prizes, auction items, monetary donations and brand new items such as toys, electronics and gift cards.

Picture

​We have come to the decision to temporarily close Apex until the new year.  The exact date that we will be open is yet to be determined.  

In the past month we have been waiting patiently for the provincial government's instructions and guidance orders.  They have been going back and forth changing their orders for martial arts.  
Yesterday the provincial government  just announced the following changes:

All indoor and outdoor sports for people 19 years of age and older are suspended. These include:
  • Combat sports
  • Martial arts

Youth indoor and outdoor sports for 18 and under is allowed with strict restrictions, a couple of them being no contact, and 3 meter physical distancing.  Because of the nature of our sport we have decided that we will not be opening until restrictions for martial arts are loosened.

We will put a hold on everyone's account, unless you specified that you would like to continue your membership.  (Thank you so much to those who can help keep their membership running, we are very grateful to you all!)  If anyone has any questions or concerns please email us at info@apexma.ca

This year has been difficult for many of us, but we know, together we will be able to pull through. 
We thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for their continued support through these tough times, and we hope to see everyone back in the New Year!

The government has announced that they are allowing several different business, which include gyms and martial arts studios to open up after this May long weekend.  You may or may not have heard that there will be a few gyms opening this coming Tuesday, May 19.

For the safety and well-being of our members we have decided to hold off opening Apex Martial Arts at this time.  Currently the rule and restriction of 2 metres (6 feet) physical distancing is still in place.  We will monitor the situation to see if the government will relax this restriction in the next few weeks or month. 

We are thinking of different options and possibly offer outdoor conditioning training. If anyone is interested in that please let us know.   

We will still be posting our online courses on our Apex website. (For access please email us at info@apexma.ca).  We ask for your patience and understanding during these times.  We also encourage you to please keep exercising, enjoy the outdoors, get some sun, stay fit and active.   

For any questions or concerns please contact us at any time.  We miss everyone and we hope to see you all soon!
