Sports de Combats

Sports de Combats has been channeling Montrealers’ pent-up energy into something constructive—or at least entertaining—since the mid-2010s. Best known as the city’s home of the original Rage Cage, it’s also far more than a demolition room. Under one roof, you’ll find axe, knife, and spear throwing, combat archery, Nerf battles, and a serious archery program run by international-level coaches. The appeal cuts across age groups and intentions: corporate team-building by day, birthday parties and bachelorette/bachelor chaos by night. Even the destruction is methodical—items are sourced responsibly and recycled afterward, giving broken electronics one last useful purpose. It’s loud, physical, and unapologetically high-energy, but surprisingly well organized. Think stress relief with waivers, safety gear, and a playlist.
