When I was 10 years old my father registered me in karate school. It was my first experience with martial arts and I enjoyed it very much. Little did I know that what started out as a hobby would become life changing!

I began with karate (Kan Zen Ryu), studying under Shihan Hasan Shaafei and Shihan Hosein Shaafei, both of whom were exceptional martial artists and coaches. After a year, I sought more action and began studying Kung Fu with Master Majid Gazeranei at Amar Kung Fu Academy, eventually earning my black belt.

Four years later, I transitioned to Seido Kay Kan karate, introduced by my former coach Shihan Shaafei. I achieved my 2nd-degree black belt and referee certificate, competing in numerous full-contact tournaments and earning many awards.

At 18, I placed 2nd in a national full-contact karate tournament, winning 3 out of 4 fights. Despite losing to Iran’s top kickboxing champion, I was motivated to improve and began training under Grand Master Satar Aliour and Master Satar, winning numerous tournaments.

In 2006, I immigrated to Canada and began teaching martial arts. Representing Team Canada, I won a Silver medal at the 2011 World Championship in Germany. Despite a shoulder injury that sidelined me for several years, I resumed training to teach my son and students the importance of perseverance.

In 2018, at age 37, I won the Men’s World Heavyweight Kickboxing Championship at the IKF Kickboxing World Championship, representing Canada.

One of the biggest benefits I have experienced in my Martial Arts training has been the self-confidence that I have gained in the course of my training. Also, I have found Martial Arts training to be one of the best and most fun workouts that I have ever had. As a result of my training, I now have my black belt certificate from the Iranian Martial Arts Federation, and I also have achieved my coaching and judging certifications.

Now I am teaching at the Golden Glory Martial Arts Academy. I love my job because I get to work with kids and see them gain confidence, discipline and improved physical fitness, not to mention the joy I get from seeing them have fun and make friends with other people who have similar interests.

A fantastic martial arts facility! Our 7 year old son joined Golden Glory a few years ago and it has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for his physical and mental well-being. Mostafa is an extremely dedicated and passionate instructor who immediately puts his students at ease, both children and adult learners. The whole team at Golden Glory creates a very positive, safe and fun environment for the children while still challenging them and improving their self discipline and confidence. Having tried some other local facilities, Golden Glory offers the best in terms of class structure/format, calibre of instructors, and overall teaching philosophy.
