HOC is located at Bathurst and Sheppard, serving Bathurst Manor, Downsview, and Willowdale, with easy transit access and free parking.

“In watching Joel train and teach, you can quickly see that his philosophies are based on extensive street experience. This experience, coupled with his dedication and intensity, make him a tremendous source for self defense knowledge and skill.”

Ilan Muallem, Actor & BJJ Black Belt
“I have a lifetime of martial arts and Joel is one of the best guys I've trained under. I'm all about combat sports but his reality-based approach gives me some incredible insight into situations outside of sport fighting.”

Derek Ratcliffe, CAF Veteran
“As a military veteran specializing in weapons training, I was initially concerned that I was not going to enjoy the level of training or the instructional style of the instructor. I could not be more wrong! Joel has the humble kindness of a dangerous expert.”

“I joined House of Combat back in August. This is an amazing place to train for Krav Maga! Joel is a great instructor who is very thorough, passionate about helping clients, and patient. Classes are small size which is great. Avigayil who is the manager is very approachable and accommodating.”
-
“I have trained to high levels in two martial arts. However, after taking Krav Maga classes at HOC I must say that I feel much more confident in my ability to defend myself. The techniques are specifically taught for that purpose, and the teaching is first class.”
-
"Our son and daughter have just started at HOC doing BJJ and they absolutely love it. They both have ear to ear smiles the entire time. The environment there is welcoming, inclusive and fosters discipline and respect in all who attend the classes. Cannot recommend this place enough!"

Fear often leads us to act—or fail to act—in ways that are downright detrimental to our safety. We bury our heads in phones, consuming fear and feeding off the adrenaline it provides us. We amplify it by talking and sharing without ever taking action. Our fight-or-flight system is always active, yet too overwhelmed to function as intended.
