    An amazing Dojo with excellent instructors. Safeguard was initially recommended to me for my oldest who has ADHD and struggles with impulse control and going here has helped him so much. Both of my boys love Sensei Troy. He is patient and kind and always makes it fun for them.

    Troy is fantastic with the kids. He is friendly and patient and is always willing to help out. His volunteers that help in the classes go above and beyond making sure everyone is having fun and participating. Kids always look forward to class and would recommend if you are looking for a great spot in Langley for karate.

    I have been attending the kickboxing class offered to teens and adults for about 5 months now after taking the free trial, and the experience has been fantastic. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and have created a learning environment that is welcoming to both beginners and more experienced athletes. Additionally, the monthly fee is incredibly reasonable.

Questions about trials

What age can my child start?

Tiger TOTS starts at 3. The main thing is that your child can join a group class and follow simple instructions while you watch from the parents’ area. Not sure if they’re ready? Their first Tiger TOTS class is free.

Do I need experience or to be fit already?

No. Every program takes complete beginners, kids and adults alike. You start where you are and build from there.

How do trials work?

Pick your class and time on our trial page and book it in under a minute. Every trial is free: Tiger TOTS start with a free first class, karate with a free 2-week trial of 4 classes, and kickboxing with a free week of unlimited classes.

What should we wear to the first class?

Comfortable clothes you can move in, and a water bottle. Karate is barefoot on our padded floor. Arrive 10 minutes early so Sensei Troy can say hello and show you around.

Can parents watch?

Yes. The parents’ viewing area looks right onto the mat, and you’re welcome to watch every class.

Is it safe?

Safety comes first. The whole training floor is padded, we use padded equipment, and every class is run by an experienced instructor who matches drills to each student’s age and size.
