I recommend Surge MMA to anyone and everyone who asks.
They offer something for everyone in the family, no matter the skill level! I always tell people, the hardest part of this sport is stepping on the mats. Once there, the coaches and fellow team mates are there to help you. It's a great way to learn new skills, get focused, sometimes let out frustrations after a long day, all while having a great time. You will learn more things about yourself than you ever would off the mats. And I promise you, you will leave your first class with a smile on your face and an eagerness to come back to learn more.
We train as a family, so both my husband and I are on the mats as often as we can, while my children train and/or teach nearly every day! Not many sports out there allow both children and parents to do the same sport. It's a great way for a family to get out to do something together.
We have been coming here since the day Coach Fred opened the doors. We had been involved with Jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai for many years prior but this was the best decision we could have made. I have seen my children grow from small shy kids to amazing teachers and leaders because of this place. They love coming to the gym, they implicate themselves in as many extra activities the gym puts on as they can. We always feel welcomed when we arrive and leave feeling exhausted from an amazing workout.
Surge MMA is a family! Many of the kids hang out outside of the gym, we share in each others achievements and are there when times are harder.
Anytime anyone asks me about where they should go for mma, jiu-jitsu, or striking, I tell them Surge MMA. They won't regret it!
Thank you Coach Fred, and all the wonderful staff and coaches! You guys rock!

Surge MMA has been amazing for our tiny 3‑year‑old little ninja Victoria. She lights up every time we walk through the door. The coaches are patient, fun, and really make sure every child gets the attention they need. What I appreciate most is the genuine sense of community here. It feels welcoming, supportive, and nothing like other places we’ve tried.
If you want your child to feel included, confident, and excited to learn, Surge MMA is the place ⭐️

I've been going to this gym for about 9 months now and can't emphasis enough what an excellent gym this is. It's really the coaches that make this gym and my experience with every single one of them has been incredible.
The training itself is excellent. Classes are structured really well and the coaches are great at explaining techniques in a way that actually makes sense. They focus on the details, make corrections when needed, and create an environment where you feel like you’re constantly improving. After 9 months here, I can honestly say I’ve learned a ton and become much more confident in my skills.
Absolutely recommend this gym to anyone in the city.

Surge is an absolutely fantastic gym! I was starting out with BJJ in my late 30's and Surge was a fantastic place to do it, and I'm very excited to bring my kids here when they're older. I've been going there for the last 5 months, and I can say for sure that the instructors are super talented and knowledgable, the other students are friendly, the whole community as a whole is very supportive and welcoming, the facilities are clean, the schedule has lots ways to join, and the community overall is just all good vibes. I highly recommend it.

My children attend the Little Ninja class twice a week and we couldn’t be happier with Surge MMA. The facility is clean and well organized, and the staff is truly exceptional. Every coach is highly qualified, encouraging, and attentive, making sure each child feels included and supported. My kids are growing in confidence, discipline, and skill while having an amazing time. A wonderful environment. Highly recommended!

I signed my kids up at the age of 4 and 8. That was three years ago. They are still going and they love it. I love the gym culture and how they are teaching the kids good values, how to be good people, not just good martial artists. Instructors are kind and respectful, great at teaching the kids and adults at various levels from recreational to competitive. The gym is buzzing with positive vibes and it's hard to resist. I ended up joining myself so I can be part of this great thing.

My kids started training at Surge MMA about a month ago, and they’re absolutely loving it! Every day they remind me with excitement that they have class. They really enjoy the atmosphere, learn incredibly fast, and already ask if they can continue next year.
Beyond the techniques, they’re learning discipline, respect, and perseverance. It’s amazing to see how much they’ve grown in such a short time. They can’t wait to keep improving and look forward to the day they’ll start competing.
I highly recommend Surge MMA for its excellent coaching, positive energy, and the strong values it teaches to kids.

Our family absolutely loves Surge MMA. Both of our kids have been attending classes here for a while now, and the community, energy, and fun they experience each week are unmatched. Whether it’s regular classes, camps, or special events, everyone at Surge is so welcoming and genuinely dedicated to what they do.
We recently hosted a birthday party there and were blown away by how thoughtful and seamless the whole experience was. From the moment we reached out to book, the team took care of everything. To our surprise and delight, we arrived to find the space kindly decorated in our son’s chosen theme, and the coaches went above and beyond to keep the kids entertained and engaged the entire time (no small feat with a room full of 4-6 year olds!). Plus, getting to cut his cake with a katana was pretty epic :)
It was such a relief to be able to relax and actually enjoy the day, knowing everything was handled. Our son came home saying it was “the best day ever,” and we couldn’t agree more.
If you’re looking for a place that blends skill, heart, and community, Surge MMA is it.

An absolute wonderful place for our kiddos and even adults to be at! I highly recommend. We have to take summers off due to being out of town for the summer and I truly see a difference from my little guy not going once a week like he is used to. My daughter wanted to take a break and then recently expressed how much she missed it and will be returning soon! 😊 great coaches, wonderful owners, super family oriented and very friendly environment. Great place for our kids to learn discipline, respect, patience and burn energy in a safe way. Also there is even a yummy ice cream joint beside their business and is a wonderful incentive!

Prior to joining, the idea of trying martial arts felt intimidating as a female without previous experience. Thanks to the coaches, that was no longer an issue after I walked through the doors for my first class. They’ve created a welcoming and encouraging environment for individuals of all backgrounds and experience levels.

(Update edited version current/past mixed)I had one of the greatest martial arts experiences in my return to training from being in a mentally sick state of mind that broke me down enough that I gave up hope on life after putting my beloved only Dog down to his resting place. My first training session was with “coach Nicky” the level of compassion and understanding accompanied with knowledge he shared to teach me plenty detailed things I didn’t know about striking that was Safe, Fun, and rewarding with new knowledge. They practice what they preach at this gym It is a team and community I’m privileged and grateful for the opportunity to train with .All the staff and trainers I’ve had a pleasure meeting and just getting to know. Thank you! “ they are a great support system to help me out with the tools and knowledge they teach me from their craft. Being in a room with so many people with power and control made me intimidated more of my self-esteem very much because I had lost hope and gave up or thought I did. However through the coach's understanding and influences I have started to learn and accept my fears come with the things we love most. I haven't learned much but I embrace the energy the team shares with me.
I can look forward now for not what's guaranteed but because no matter the calculation I can't predict it so I'm enjoying this new present. still having the noodle dream but I hope one day I can show my stripes lol.

I was looking for a place to continue training consistently for quite a while, and to keep evolving forward on my martial arts journey, and I am so thankful to have found the great folks at Surge MMA.
Fred is in a league of his own, not only with his coaching and expertise, but also as an outstanding individual as well. When he tells you good job, you can tell he truly means it, and he wants to see you do well and improve.
You’ll find a great group of individuals here, who all have a passion for martial arts, and progressing forward, and who all have the biggest smile on their face while doing so.
Whether brand new on your martial arts journey, or if you’re fairly seasoned, there is something to be found here for everyone.

Nothing brings me more joy than seeing the smiles on my children's faces training with the amazing Fred Stonehouse at Surge MMA. I travel across the city through rush hour traffic from Stittsville to bring my kids to this gym. It is always worth it. I should also mention I love training there too. Fred is a brilliant Martial Arts instructor, the best in Ottawa hands down, and I cannot recommend him enough. If you live East End, check out Surge MMA, you won't regret it.
