Our Values
Pure Martial Arts and Fitness is Campbell River’s Best Martial Arts and Fitness Studio. We believe that martial arts training goes beyond physical strength, it is about cultivating inner strength and humility.
Our instructors emphasize respect, self-discipline, and compassion, creating a strong sense of community within our school.
We follow the rules and customs of martial arts, including bowing when entering and leaving the training area, showing respect to instructors and fellow students, and maintaining discipline.
Safety is paramount in our training, and we ensure that our students are well-prepared for grading tests.
