Met Sifu Steph 6 yrs ago when I was looking for a dojo that offered day time training. I have been attending the morning sessions (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays pretty regularly for the past 6 years, and none of the classes have been the same. Sifu Steph is a master at leading challenging work outs and keeping them fresh and fun at the same time. Besides the obvious physical benefits, I have really enjoyed the comradery and friendships I have built with my training partners over the years and of course with Sifu Steph himself. Another great benefit is the ability to work through your stresses while working out. The intensity of the work outs command your full attention and forces you to block out everything else that's going on for the duration of the training. Because of this I feel physically and mentally better and stronger after every work out. As I approach my 50's I feel better than I did in my 30s and that is in large part because of Sifu Steph and Patenaude Martial arts. Do yourself a favor and try it out for a week, it could change your life! More...

Sifu Stéphane is a true master of the arts. I was there, in the dojo, on St-Catherine Street, when he received his black sash. That was over 25 years ago. I have a lot of respect for this family and all the good they do for the community. I can honestly say that bringing your children to this school of arts, is one of the greatest gift you could ever give them. Simply because the lessons learned here are life lessons. More...

This school offers all kinds of classes for people of all ages, beginner or advance, just for fun, or for competition. This year is my 19th year of training at the Patenaude Martial Arts Orleans location. The training is like no other, a more-than welcoming atmosphere, that is family-like and where no one is judged. This school goes beyond just a martial art with kicks and punches, it teaches life lessons to believe in yourself, to not give up when the going gets tough, it teaches respect, self control, discipline, confidence, and much more. Sifu Stephane is the head instructor and has 35 + years of martial arts training, he is a fantastic instructor, mentor, coach, and has become a life-long friend. I highly recommend this school, as it has made me a life long student. Try out the free trial classes, you have nothing to lose, but everything to gain. More...

I found Patenaude looking for a place to start kickboxing. To qualify, I'm not young and in great shape so I felt really self-conscious, but I feel so welcome that I truly comfortable here. Also, when I am not applying myself, someone *notices* and holds me accountable, just what a person getting back into activity really needs- kind encouragement! Also, they have lots of awesome side courses that are really interesting and helpful- if you are looking to "go deeper" then they are there for you then too. So if you want to try (especially with kids- Sifu is a GREAT teacher) or you're looking for community, I'd highly recommend. Aussi, ils parlent français ici. :) More...

I was really scared to join because i wasn't really good at it. I was scared that i'll embarrass myself. At first it felt very intimidating because everyone was good, everyone seem to know what they were doing but i tried my best to do most of the challenges. All the teachers were very good at explaining their part. This class has showed me ways to protect myself. Everyone has been so patient with teaching me, although sometimes i just don't get it. I wouldn't be apart of this class if it wasn't for monique. She had made me feel comfortable around everyone in the class. She would tell me how fun the class is and how nice everyone is. For my experience, i enjoy this class a lot. I love the intensity, i love the hard work that everyone shows.

Chose to do something different for my son's 6th birthday; to change it up but also to see if my son (and my other kids) would like to get into this sport that was recommended for many different reasons. We were able to bring 19 friends - which we did!! .... and Sifu managed very well with all of them, each of them having a fantastic time...burning lots of energy! It was a quick set-up and clean-up which made that even better for me!! The result: later that evening, my son said he loved his birthday party so much, that for his 7th birthday he requested that 'Mama plans the exact same thing, same place with all the same friends.....'! I told him he didn't have to wait until next year if he wanted to go again. He asked if he could take some classes there now?' Which I am pretty sure will be be there within the spring season! I think that's pretty much a win-win, don't you! ;-D More...

Highly recommend Patenaude Martial Arts, I have been with the Patenaude's since 1999. I have achieved many accomplishments with my 15+ years of being there. It has taught me confidence, never giving up on goals, I have achieved the black belt, it has given me teaching oppurtunities and most importantly it has shaped me into the strong, confident, self-asserted woman I am today. This school has alot to offer, to anyone and everyone of all ages regardless of what goals you may have. The kids program is phenomenal; the teachers are fantastic, friendly, fun, funny, approachable, bilingual and CARING! You are not just another head in class, you become part of the family, part of the team. Kids will be taught many basic life skills that are important at a young age; respect, disciple, confidence, focus, team work, etc. For adult classes, street self defense techniques are shown, continuously encouraging students on never giving up, to keep going when the training becomes hard, teaching us valuable life lessons that are applicable and equally as important of being outside of class. MMA classes are also on the weekly schedule, where people with a more competive side, with goals of competing in the ring can be achieved. Patenaude Martial Arts is really a lifestyle and it's what it teaches students: self discipline, self control, and empowering the body as well as the mind. If you're looking for MMA program, a program for your child, to lose weight, get in shape, build strenght, have fun, get a black belt, learn self defense or just to simply try something new and exciting, Patenaude Martial arts is the place for whatever your goal may be!

i started going to Patenaude because my 3 year old was in the little dragons class. He loved it and I needed a little motivation to get back in shape. I get tonnes of support and encouragement from the teachers and my classmates, and maybe a needed jab when I have been slacking too. In addition to the motivation I get it is amazing to see people that have been doing this for a long time welcome new people, stopping their own workout to help others learn.
It's one of the few places I have been to that you are made to feel a part of the team no matter your skill level. Would encourage anyone to join us! More...

He teaches us lessons of self care, self defense, meditation and empowerment. He promotes a team and family environment and reminds us about respect for ourselves and others.

If your looking for an awesome martial arts school to practice at, I personally advise you to check out Patenaude. It is said that many places just focus on the sash aspect of the training, but Patenaude focuses not only on your personal development as a student, but as a person. They try to teach life lessons such as: manners, respect and determination. So not only do they provide excellent self defence techniques and practices, but hey teach you values that will prepare you for life in unexpected ways. On top of all of this they embrace you in a way that makes you feel like you are part of a family. Not only are the teachers friendly but so are the students. Seldom do I feel like I’m being judged for my mistakes or my failures because everyone just views these as an opportunity to learn.Genuinely love doing this and I recommend this to anyone searching for a fun and disciplined past time!!

Beginning the Little Dragon's journeyA month ago we made the decision to try out the Little Dragons program at Patenaude Martial Arts Orleans. It's been smiles and thumbs up from our child ever since. The owner, Sifu Stéphane, knows his business and his passion to teach is palpable. He brings a positive and fun energy for very young kids to achieve fitness and focus every time. His instructors also show genuine interest in teaching the kids which is heart-warming for us, as parents.After an energetic, warm-up, Sifu usually has a brief discussion with the kids concerning martial arts values like respect, persistance, controlling emotions, then it's off to learn the art's particular skills, which may include kicks, punches and defense skills.For us, it's the respect our child is building on, whether from bowing, or TRYING to stand still and waiting for the next command, that is an important benefit. We know that with our collaboration it will carry over into school and at home. As for the fitness aspect, we can already see some improvement in our child's muscle control to punch and kick more properly and safely. Young kids are often like spaghetti when moving their bodies, at least our child is, and seeing the changes is so encouraging. As the old proverb goes ´It takes a village to raise a child.´Family, friends, teachers, doctors...and sometimes, a Sifu. Try Patenaude Martial Arts out yourselves! More...
