Navid Ghorbanpour
Sensei Navid is a multi-time national and international martial arts champion and the head instructor of World Top Martial Arts in Burnaby, serving Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. His teaching blends precision, intensity, and a calm expectation that every student can improve.
He is a certified full-instructor in the philosophies and science of Jeet Kune Do, a 6th Degree Black Belt in Shotokan Karate, a certified instructor in Kickboxing and Edged & Impact Weapons, and an experienced practitioner of the Grappling Arts.
Students learn how the disciplines connect — not as disconnected techniques, but as a practical way to sharpen the mind, maintain physical health, and strengthen the spirit.
Jinsei Do — The Way of Life.
WTMA is built around Jinsei Do: the process of creating a well-rounded martial artist. Traditional martial arts are combined with modern fighting fundamentals — stand-up, ground work, weapons awareness, and the judgement to adapt. The aim is steady growth: sharper technique, stronger health, better judgement, and respect inside and outside the dojo. Osu.
Structured coaching for kids, adults, and first-timers.
Each path has a clear purpose: build fundamentals, improve fitness, learn practical self-defence, or go deeper with private coaching.
Karate + character
Shotokan basics, stance, kata, focus, and belt progression — a clear path for children to build discipline, confidence, and respect.
Kickboxing fitness
Boxing gloves, pad work, controlled kicking drills, light sparring, and conditioning for cardio, confidence, and clean striking mechanics.
MMA foundations
Stand-up, grappling, submission wrestling, full-contact karate, and reality-based applications taught as one connected system.
Women’s kickboxing + self-defence
A women-only class for kickboxing fitness, street awareness, practical defence, stronger posture, and mindful energy in a supportive setting.
Private progression
One-to-one or semi-private coaching for students who want faster correction, extra attention, competition prep, or advanced work.
Simple commitment
Start with a trial, train month-to-month, avoid long contracts, and choose a schedule that supports consistent evening practice.
Ten reasons students stay.
Parents want confidence and discipline. Adults want fitness, self-defence, and a challenge that does not feel random. WTMA gives both a clear place to train.
