Where Are Black Belt World's Taekwondo Locations in Ontario?

Black Belt World (taekwondo.ca) runs five Taekwondo schools across Ontario's Greater Toronto Area, with its headquarters in downtown Toronto. The listed locations are Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan (Woodbridge), Burlington/Oakville, and Kitchener. If you are trying to decide whether the academy is within reach, these five cities are the practical answer — and classes are offered 7 days per week, so scheduling is rarely the limiting factor.

The five Ontario locations

The site states the schools can be found "across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)" and separately names the five cities above. If your commute falls outside these areas, the closest option is likely the one in your direction of travel rather than the downtown headquarters.

Who the programs are for

The academy organizes its teaching by age group, which matters when you are choosing a location for a specific family member:

• Tiny Tigers — ages 3–5
• Children — ages 6–12
• Teens & Adults — ages 13+

Because each location is described as part of the same academy rather than a franchise with separate programs, the age groupings above are the academy's stated structure. Confirm with the specific branch that the class you need runs there, since not every location necessarily runs every program at every time.

What the academy says about its background

A few details from the site may help you judge fit:

• 51 years of establishment in teaching Taekwondo and martial arts.
• Founder Grandmaster Tommy Chang, described as an 8th Degree Black Belt in Hapkido and 8th Degree Kukkiwon Taekwondo certified Master, and a former Vice President of Sport for Taekwondo Canada and Head of Team Canada.
• Instructor credentials recognized through World Taekwondo, Kukkiwon, Pan-Am Taekwondo Union, Taekwondo Canada, and/or Taekwondo Ontario.
• Safety and child protection: staff are stated to be certified through the Canadian Center for Child Protection and trained in First Aid and CPR. The academy also says it participates in the Peel Regional Police Safe Place Program and was chosen as the pilot school in Canada for the Talk Today program by Taekwondo Canada and Taekwondo Ontario.
• Competition and film focus: the academy describes specializing in developing Olympic-level athletes and stunt performers for Hollywood films.

Practical steps before you pick a location

1. Match the city to your routine. Choose the branch closest to your daily route (work, school, or home), not just the closest on a map — a 7-day schedule only helps if the location is convenient on the days you actually train.
2. Confirm the age group runs at that branch. Ask specifically about Tiny Tigers, Children, or Teens & Adults at the location you are considering.
3. Ask about a trial. The site references a free trial, so it is reasonable to ask what a trial session includes and whether it is available at your chosen branch.
4. Check instructor certification for your program. If you are aiming at competition or film work, ask which coaches at that branch hold the relevant credentials.

Common sticking points

• "GTA" is broad. Five locations spread across Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, Burlington/Oakville, and Kitchener can still mean a long drive depending on where you live. Treat the city list as the real filter.
• Headquarters ≠ your branch. The downtown Toronto headquarters is the administrative center; your training experience will be shaped by the specific branch you attend.
• Program availability varies by branch. The age groupings are academy-wide, but class times and specific programs are worth verifying location by location.

For the most current addresses, class schedules, and trial details, check the individual location pages on taekwondo.ca or contact the branch directly.
