Cool, do you do judo at Takahashi? That's really what I'd like to pick up next if I manage to find the time.

(Derp. Read from the bottom up. Sorry, I didn't know there was a character limit.)

Still, I think http://www.kravmagaottawa.ca/ would be your best bet, a friend is learning there and they seem to have all the credentials check out.

I hope this helps and let me know when you find something that works for you!

If Billings Bridge isn't too far from you, Neak Ta is at Bank and Rockingham and is newish I think. They do Pradal Serey (which is Cambodian kickboxing, very closely related to MT) and I think it would be really worth your time.

As for Krav, there are a few places to go for it around the city, but apparently it's tough to find a great place for Krav - since it's expanding so quickly and is so easy to learn/teach, there are a lot of classes popping up that are kind of bogus.

Hey, I guess Carver's school moved to Preston but they still have the giant sign for it on Rideau. I don't know what they're doing with that location, if anything, but it might be worth it to have a look.

All the good things that were said about that school were about Carver, who has now retired and doesn't teach there any more, so you may want to take that with a grain of salt. Still, the facilities look professional and legitimate, and I'd imagine they do good training there.
