Just steps from the Frontenac metro, the Académie Sportive is a Montreal mainstay in martial arts, boxing and other combat sports. Among the multitude of courses available, boxing, kick-boxing and Muay Thai are the most popular and accessible. These courses are directed and supervised by a team of qualified coaches, and allow participants to improve their fitness level and reach their full potential while boosting self-confidence.
"Our mission is to guide people to develop their own capabilities," says Daniel Perron, the Académie's owner. "We help them accomplish a specific goal." There are as many men as women, young and old alike, among the club's enthusiasts. Some are seasoned athletes, while others are just starting to get back in shape. Some are there to perform, others to learn to defend themselves.
