I've been going here since I was 13 years old over 30 years ago. Ernie,the guy who owned the place was an awesome guy who's kids run the place now. I miss Ernie. I have not been here since 2011 but I'm sure it's still a great place!!

I always enjoy going to this store. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. I never feel rushed and she takes the time to make sure my daughters gear fits correctly.

The owner was amazingly hospitable and incredibly knowledgeable. She was fun to talk with and never once tried to upsell or pressure me into anything!She was helpful, suggested other stores I may also find of interest, and even asked about the type of training I did here in Ottawa.Truly a store not to miss, it is a gem! Five out of five for sure.

Very good shop. Amazing selections. I was just there yesterday searching for Bo staffs and nunchucks. Years back, I bought hand gripper from there used for exercising my knuckles. Amazing place.

Oh yeah! Chinese new year is around the corner and I need a new suit. Since I can't find any New Year outfits my size around here, I had to think out of the box. I thought why not go to the only martial arts store around here and see if I can find a wing chun outfit. Very similar to the traditional CNY clothing, but without the shining material and patterns. Going into the store right away you feel at home and see lots of tools and outfits. If you are into martial arts of any kind, this place would amaze you. The manager Alieen is amazing and helped me throughout the process of picking an outfit. She is so friendly and experienced. Just one look at me and she knew what size I'd be. She was very accurate if I may add. This place has a lot of history. Aileen was actually the person who helped me find my first gi (karate uniform) over 8 years ago. It was a thrilling experience now, and then. There are so many choices to choose from and if it's not available they always do their best effort to get you what you need. I will always love visiting Continental sporting goods & martial arts supplies. I recommend this place to everyone.

Im currently 6ft4 and over 300lbs, so im glad they had so much material laying around haha.This place has a lot of history.

I've been a customer for a very long time and today I met the former owners daughters and she's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. This is a great place to get all your martial arts needs, it's locally owned, operated and has very knowledgeable staff. 5 stars aren't enough.

I am not rushed while I am browsing or checking out out of the store. And it is easy to social distance. ?

Another satisfied customer! I was referred to this store by way of a friend who knew I was in search of some Kung Fu slippers to practice kata in my garage. The shoes that the owner, Aileen, provided did a great job but the concrete floor wore out the sole a month later.Since I was happy with my previous experience, I went back to the store for a replacement pair. Aileen gave me a good deal on a different pair with different sole material. I got a good deal on a pair of the different shoes as well as buying a new pair of what I bought previously.Aileen has a warm, friendly demeanor that makes you feel like you are doing business with a long time friend. It's a safe bet, if you see her more than once, she will remember your name.Thank you, Aileen for a great customer experience.

Awesome shop been around forever in ROC! If you train martial arts and need equipment come to this shop they are fully stocked with everything from karate, judo, kung fu uniforms to Okinawan and chinese weapons. They also do custom embroidery on belts and have lots of great books, dvds, etc. Staff is also super helpful and knowledgeable. if they don’t have what you need they can always order it for you.
