Master Anthony Elliott's martial arts journey has been driven by a passion for personal growth and helping others reach their potential. After earning his black belt in 1997, he quickly stepped into leadership roles that would shape the direction of his career for decades to come.
In 1998, he joined the Canadian Taekwondo coaching team in England, gaining valuable experience working with athletes at a high level. As his knowledge expanded, so did his commitment to understanding the physical and mental aspects of performance and development.
His pursuit of education led him to earn a Fitness and Nutrition diploma in 2007 and become a certified life coach in 2008. These experiences strengthened his belief that true success comes from developing the whole person—not just physical skills.
Since becoming Owner and President of Red Dawn Martial Arts, Master Elliott has continued to grow the school while staying committed to the students and families who trust him. Over the years, he has helped guide approximately 7,000 students through their martial arts journeys and expanded the school's offerings to include kickboxing and personal development opportunities.
Today, his mission remains the same: create an environment where students can build confidence, develop strong character, and become the best version of themselves. Through positive mentorship and lifelong learning, he continues to shape the future of Red Dawn Martial Arts and the community it serves.

The Foundation of Victory
What We Believe
At Red Dawn Martial Arts, we believe martial arts should develop the whole person — not just physical ability.
discipline
Progress comes from consistency, effort, and respect for the process. We don't rush development — we build it step by step. Every milestone achieved is a reflection of hard work, dedication, and growth.
Structure
Clear systems create real improvement and measurable results. Our structured curriculum gives students a clear path forward, helping them understand where they are, what they're working toward, and how to keep progressing.
Confidence Through Achievement
Results are earned through commitment and perseverance — not shortcuts or participation trophies. The confidence developed through that process extends far beyond training and positively impacts school, work, and everyday life.
positive training
culture
A supportive and encouraging environment helps students stay motivated and reach their potential. Here, you're never just a student — you're part of a community that supports, challenges, and celebrates each other's success.
We don't chase hype. We build real skill.

Root-cause healing that restores the body through nervous system regulation, detox pathways, and metabolism. Not symptom-chasing. Not another bandaid.
Hi, I'm Dr. Kourtney
Three pillars of real,
lasting results
Energy & Fatigue Recovery
Nervous system and detox support that addresses why your body is stuck in survival mode — not just masking exhaustion with caffeine and supplements.
01
Metabolism & Weight Loss Resistance
If you're eating right and exercising but nothing moves, there's a deeper reason. We find it — and fix it — using functional labs and a personalized protocol.
02
Hormone Balance
Hormone issues are signals of something deeper — drainage, nervous system dysregulation, or metabolic burden. I help you address the root, not just the numbers.
03
MY APPROACH
Why clients get results when
nothing else worked
I combine 20+ years as a pharmacist with a root-cause, whole-body approach — bridging conventional medicine with the deeper healing most practitioners never address.
01
Regulate before you detox
Nervous system and drainage are the non-negotiable foundation. Skip this step and nothing else sticks.
02
Healing is low and slow
Real detox doesn't happen overnight. Sustainable results come from doing it right — at the pace your body can actually handle.
03
Symptoms are signals, not diagnoses
Hormone imbalances, weight gain, fatigue — your body is communicating. We listen, then address what they're pointing to.
"I get it, because I've been there — and I know exactly where conventional medicine stops and real healing begins."
● Pharmacist-level fluency in your labs, medications, and diagnostics
● Functional medicine lens that asks why , not just what
● Whole-body protocols — nervous system, detox, and metabolism together
● 1:1 consultations using the Root Cause Method, not cookie-cutter plans
● Internationally accredited certification teaching practitioners the same method
