Martial Arts Instructor Waterloo
WATERLOO MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY
Ms. Charlotte D’Souza is the club owner and martial arts instructor in Waterloo. Ms. Charlotte is a 5th degree black belt and has been teaching Taekwondo to both kids and adults for more than 15 years.
Ms. Charlotte’s passion for martial arts began when her middle child of 3 was getting bullied in school. At that time, the school did not have a policy against bullying and was not able to help stop the abuse her son was experiencing. She enrolled him in Taekwondo classes and soon became witness to his blossoming confidence. Her son learned how to better manage the difficult relationships at his school and his grades began to improve.
Impressed by the impact the sport had on her middle child, Ms. Charlotte enrolled her two other kids and herself in Taekwondo classes as well. The benefits to herself and her kids were undeniable. Everyone’s fitness improved, confidence soared and other achievements increased.
Given the positive transformation her son went through, Ms. Charlotte likes to think of herself as the “champion of the underdog” and will do whatever she can to help your child overcome their issues. Seeing kids’ confidence grow is her passion.
Ms. Charlotte lives with her family in the Waterloo region and also has a passion for cooking. She loves to experiment in the kitchen. Her kids love it because they get to enjoy eating her creations but their biggest frustration is that that their Mom can never remember how she created their most loved meals.

why Tae kwon do?
Tae Kwon Do offers a unique combination of physical, mental, and practical benefits that set it apart from other forms of martial arts. Known for its emphasis on powerful, dynamic kicking techniques, Tae Kwon Do not only improves flexibility, balance, and leg strength but also provides a full-body workout. Its structured approach to belt promotions fosters discipline, goal-setting, and a sense of achievement. Tae Kwon Do is an excellent choice for both fitness and self-defense. Additionally, its global popularity and inclusion in the Olympics ensures that students and practitioners have access to a well-established community and opportunities for competition, making it an ideal choice for people of all ages and skill levels.
