Love Local: Empowering Families through Martial Arts at Yearwood Family Kempo Academy

by | Feb 12, 2024 | Love Local

We believe in the power of community and the strength that comes from local families supporting each other, which is why we often try to highlight deserving local businesses. 

This month, we’re excited to shine a spotlight on a remarkable local establishment – Yearwood Family Kempo Academy. 

Nestled in the heart of Toronto at 21 Progress Avenue, Unit 5, this family-run academy is a martial arts school as well as a hub of learning, fitness and personal growth for families like ours. 

A Personal Connection 

My daughters, Lara and Sophie, and I are proud members of the Yearwood Family Kempo Academy. Our experience here has not only been about mastering martial arts techniques but also about building confidence, discipline and a sense of community. 

Kempo vs. Karate: A Diverse Martial Arts Curriculum 

Yearwood Family Kempo Academy offers a unique blend of Kempo and Karate, providing a comprehensive martial arts education that caters to a wide range of interests and goals. While both styles share the fundamental emphasis on striking techniques and forms, Kempo introduces additional elements that set it apart: 

  • Joint Locks and Grappling Techniques: Kempo’s curriculum includes techniques designed to control or immobilize an opponent, adding a layer of complexity and versatility to the training.
  • Weapons Training: Students have the opportunity to learn and practice with traditional martial arts weapons like the bo staff and nunchaku, enriching their understanding and appreciation of martial arts.

Discovering the Right Style for You 

Choosing a martial arts style is a personal journey, and the team at Yearwood Family Kempo Academy is dedicated to guiding each student through this process. 

Whether you’re drawn to the dynamic strikes of Karate or the comprehensive approach of Kempo, you’ll find a supportive and enriching environment here.

Edmond Ayvazyan HIS, EET

Edmond grew up in Toronto. As our hearing instrument specialist, Edmond describes his role as helping people have great conversations. However, he notes there are many other things he does during the day as well! He loves providing care and services that allow clients to live active lives. Edmond says his favourite thing about being part of the Hearing Aid Source team is not having to work under management that conflicts with his core values. During his time at the clinic, he has witnessed so many amazing success stories that it is difficult to pinpoint a particular one. Edmond describes himself as an introvert with extrovert tendencies. He likes solving problems and technical challenges. Outside of work, he loves spending time with his children. He has two daughters, and he enjoys watching them grow. Together, they are studying Karate, something Edmond is passionate about.
