"My partner and I started our kickboxing journey a few months ago, and we are so happy we did it because everyone is so friendly and competitive at the same time. Josiah is also a fantastic instructor. Overall our health and fitness has improved. You will feel very accomplished after each class!"
— Chris Wong
"Initially I put my son in martial arts because I wanted him to gain confidence and discipline. Without knowing, martial arts became a big part of his life and he enjoys it wholeheartedly. He learned so much in the past three years and is still growing every week. Not only did he build confidence, discipline, strength and experiences, he also gained precious relationships with the ever supporting instructors and classmates. Highly recommend JKA."
— Julia Chang
"Josiah Kicks Academy has been an amazing place for my son. He's part of both the Competition Team and the Master's Club, and the training he gets is on another level — disciplined, fun, and really motivating. The instructors know how to push the kids while still keeping things positive, and you can tell they genuinely care. It's been great to see him grow not just in his skills, but in confidence and attitude. We've had an awesome experience at JKA."
— Julian Guttman

MEET COACH
JOSIAH
Founder & Head Instructor
Coach Josiah has spent over a decade coaching, with a real passion for building confidence and leadership. He built JKA into Richmond's premier martial arts academy, and for him it's about way more than physical skills. It's about shaping character, discipline, and the mindset to carry into every part of life.

Book a PartyWHY JOSIAH KICKS ACADEMY
Coach Josiah Davis has been training and competing in ITF Taekwondo for nearly two decades. He's a provincial and national champion coach who's helped develop Team Canada level athletes, and he cares about a lot more than just kicks and patterns. Every class is built around one simple idea: martial arts builds character. The discipline you grow on the mat follows you into school, work, and everyday life.
We offer two main ways to train. The traditional path is ITF Taekwondo, with its classic forms, patterns, and a philosophy that's stood the test of time. It's a great fit if you want structure and a clear path through the belts. The modern path is cardio kickboxing, all about dynamic striking, fitness, and competition. Kids and teens move through programs built for their age, with an optional competition team. Adults can jump into either path from day one, no experience needed.
Walking into JKA for the first time, you'll find a warm, welcoming place with zero pressure. Your first session is completely free. No experience needed, just show up ready to move. We'll help beginners learn the basics while keeping experienced students challenged.
We're proud to call Richmond, BC home. We partner with local schools and early learning centres like General Currie Elementary, Royal Academy, and Stars of Tomorrow, bringing martial arts into classrooms through workshops and demos. For us, martial arts goes beyond the dojo. It's about showing up for the people around you.
