# KLIQ MMA

> MMA gym in Gatineau, Quebec (Ottawa-Gatineau). No-gi grappling, striking and MMA for kids from age 4, teens and adults, beginners to competitors. Coaching follows an ecological approach: most of each practice is spent solving real problems against a partner's resistance, matched to your level, instead of repeating techniques. The first practice is free.

The site is French first (https://www.kliqmma.com/) with English under /en/. Prices are in Canadian dollars; memberships are plus tax.

## The approach and the team

- [Our approach](https://www.kliqmma.com/en/approach): what ecological coaching means for a beginner. The coach sets a problem (for example, keep your partner down while they try to get up), adjusts the rules to match the difficulty to each pair, and most of the practice is live work at controlled intensity. French: https://www.kliqmma.com/approche

## Kids day camps: March break and summer (Gatineau, ages 4 to 12)

KLIQ MMA runs day camps for kids 4 to 12 in Gatineau (Aylmer area), close to Ottawa, during the Quebec March break (relâche de mars) and all summer (camp de jour d'été). No martial arts experience needed: kids who have never trained, or who aren't interested in martial arts, fit in.

- 2027 dates: March break camp March 1 to 5, 2027 (the Outaouais school boards' March break: Portages-de-l'Outaouais and Draveurs). Summer camp: nine weeks, by the week, from June 28 to August 27, 2027, open on Canada Day.
- Days: games, outdoor time at the park next door, and two 45-minute martial arts sessions a day, led by coaches.
- Hours: 9 am to 4 pm. Extended care from 8 to 9 am and 4 to 5 pm is included in the price.
- Price: $345 a week. Summer weeks paid together in one payment cost less: $315 a week for 2 to 4 weeks, $285 for 5 to 8, $265 for 9 or more. March break: $30 off for a second child. No tax: day camps are not taxed in Quebec.
- Tax credits: camp fees count for Quebec's childcare expense tax credit (KLIQ gives an RL-24 slip) and the federal child care expense deduction. With both, a $345 week often costs a family less than $100. The camp pages have a calculator.
- Camp director: Pat Arseneau, 15 years working in schools, with an up-to-date criminal record check.
- Payment and cancellation: pay by the week (at least 7 days before the week starts) or all weeks at once; a week cancelled at least 7 days ahead is refunded in full.
- Registration is online; spots are limited.
