Clubs – be they standalone facilities dedicated to Muaythai, large multi-discipline gyms dedicated to many martial arts, or small programs run in a community centre – are a place where people are transformed. Skills are learned, obstacles are overcome, friendships are made, and successes are celebrated. Each Club is its own unique community, and membership with Muaythai Ontario will provide your Club with:

Support
MTO’s goal is to unite the community and give owners access to the vendors and service providers. Often it is difficult for a single club to secure pricing with limited resources. We want vendors and providers eager to see us as a community of like-minded people. In addition, your club will be listed among other MTO-registered clubs on the Club Directory.

Education
We are eager to help the Muaythai community in Ontario grow. The goal is to position the club owners as leaders in the Martial Arts throughout all of Ontario. Seminars will be delivered throughout the year ranging in topics. Examples are: business leadership, securing credit, and club management techniques, and skill-specific training for coaches and instructors.

Competition
Muaythai is forged in battle and tested regularly in the ring. There will be at least one (1) tournament per year and weekly or monthly competitions held by club owners like you, sanctioned by Muaythai Ontario. Muaythai Ontario enables access to National and International Championships through direct affiliations with: the National Organization, Muaythai Canada (MTC), and the International Federation of Muaythai Amateur (IFMA).

New in 2020

With the introduction of myMTOaccount, Athletes, Coaches, and Officials will be able to make changes to the information that is shown on their Online Passport. This means that a Club representative will also be able to access your listing in the Club Directory to make changes to photos, address, or contact information for your Club.

With the smarter membership system, Muaythai Ontario is now able to track Club renewals and provide Clubs that renew a 10% discount on their membership if they were full (not trial) members in the previous year.
