Karate
karate developed in the Ryukyu Kingdom. It was brought to the Japanese mainland in the early 20th century during a time of cultural exchanges between the Japanese and the Chinese. It was systematically taught in Japan after the Taisho era.[4] In 1922 the Japanese Ministry of Education invited Gichin Funakoshi to Tokyo to give a karate demonstration.

The service here is simply excellent. Whenever I have a question I know that I can give them a call and get the answers I am looking for. The quality of their in-house branded merchandise is also great, I purchased one of their uniforms and I am constantly putting it through the ringer however after a wash it is practically new. This is a great one-stop shop for martial arts supplies.read more

Excellent customer service, called to the store after hours, reached the store owner. The store owner left his personal tasks and came to open the store especially for me. I was surprised from his dedication to his clients, professional approach to the business and knowledge of his products.

I have been searching for the best prices and high quality karate uniforms and equipment for a while. I gave Benza a chance before and ordered on-line, what we received was excellent quality so we decided to take a trip to get the rest and correct sizes. I have to say it was a bit difficult to find and the first impression was not what we thought would be. Tiny place but with huge customer service. They had everything we needed and we got a discount for a uniform. Excellent customer service - totally worth the trip from Guelph to Etobicoke. We will be ordering more from Benza and recommending to our dojo.read more

My experience here was second to none. One of if not the best suppliers not only in Ontario, but in Canada period. Not only is this business the best with the best quality and the best service, but the owner there has a lot of patience, a lot of charisma and most importantly a excellent sense of humour. Coming from somebody who actively competes in martial arts, I more than highly recommend you come to this place.read more

So happy to have found Benza sports. being new to the mma gear world,i was looking for Muay Thai gear for my daughter. I didnt like the prices or selection at the gyms so i went online. i liked the online prices but wanted to see and feel what i was getting my daughter. Well Benza Sports came through bigtime. The low prices i saw online but with the option of a brick and mortar location so i can see what im getting. The personal attention and advice was second to none. I was really impressed with the selection and different levels of quality they carry,and again prices are very competitive with online stores and blows away the middlemen gym owners . The honesty and customer care really impressed me as well. Now that im familiar with the products i can order online without regret as they ship with great shipping rates and i think its free shipping over a certain amount as she will need a gi in the future and some kick pads. So glad i checked this place out..read more

I've been dealing with Benza Sports since the opening of my business in 2013. He is a highly professional and courteous individual. The gear is really high quality. Even better than that is the ability to put your own logos on the goods and create your own designs custom. They have an exceptional inventory and it has been great dealing with them. I set service standards high. Benza Sports is one of the very few companies that have that rare high level standard of customer service and follow through with the products, service and speed of delivery. I recommend them highly and will continue my relationship with them for years to come.read more

Too bad they're in Brampton. Very good judo gis and accurate sizing. I bought a gi from Markham because of distance. Sleeves too short. Lesson learnt - drive to brampton next time. best customer service too

I am giving a 5-star because the owner was going home and noticed us in the parking lot. He opened the store again just for us! The shop is small, but if you ask what you are looking for, he will go to the back room and grab it for you.read more

First time customer, I came here with an open mind to the products and services of Benza sports. I am an experienced Muay Thai and over all martial arts student. I have tried and trained with different brands and bought equipment from various vendors.
Benza Sports and the sales Rep at the location have given me the best customer experience ever compared to any other MMA equipment store. The retailer is experienced and knows his products. He hooked me up with a great price for a bunch of stuff. Way better variety and prices and same quality gear as Kamura Wear.
Honestly if your a pro/competitive fighter spend the extra penny and use the high end gear. But for anyone who is a beginner, intermediate or amateur fighter/student come to this place. Get the best bang for your buck. Highly recommend.read more
