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 started first with karate (kan zen rio) studying with Shihan Hasan Shaafei and Shihan Hosein Shaafei. Both were great martial artists and excellent coaches. I practiced karate for 1 year and decided I would like to try something with more action. At the age of 11 I began to study Kung Fu with Master Majid Gazeranei at Amar Kung Fu Academy. I enjoyed it so much that I eventually received my black belt.

After four years, I decided to try another martial arts discipline recently brought back from Japan by my former coach Shihan Shaafei. He introduced me to Seido Kay kan karate. I continued my studies until I received my 2nd degree black belt and referee certificate. During this time I also participated in several full contact tournaments and won many awards and trophies.

When I was 18 years old I received 2nd place in a national full contact karate tournament by winning 3 out of 4 fights – losing only to Iran’s top kickboxing champion. His technique and fitness were superior to mine, so I knew I had more work to do! I began to study with Grand Master Satar Aliour, as well as with Master Satar, and was successful in winning many more tournaments. I am forever thankful for their excellent training and support!

I immigrated to Canada from Iran in 2006. After arriving in Canada, I started teaching martial arts. Since then, I have been competing in local as well as and International tournaments. I represented Team Canada in the World Championship that was held in Germany in 2011 and won a Silver medal.

Because of a shoulder injury I took leave from tournaments and serious training for several years, but I always wanted to go back to fighting again. It is important to me to teach my son and my students that they shouldn’t give up under any circumstances. So I started my training again from a very low level of intensity then increased the level until I started to get back to “fighting shape”.

Finally in 2018, I participated in the IKF Kickboxing World Championship as a representative of Canada. At age 37, I won the Mens World Heavyweight Kickboxing Championship.

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.
