National Jodo Seminar, Victoria Day Weekend and Prader-Willi Syndrome Walk

A couple of notices for May so far. We have National Jodo Seminar and Testing and on the Victoria Day long weekend the dojo will be closed on Saturday May 18th

An important upcoming event on June 9th is the Scotiabank One SMALL Step Walk for Prader-Willi Syndrome. Please see how you can help out with this event.


Because our philosophy is based on the traditional, non sport martial arts, beginners, intermediate belts and advanced belts are encouraged to develop at their own pace. At our dojo, we view our students' self-development to be far more important than the achievement of rank. We understand how intimidating starting a new activity can be, and have structured our classes so that beginners can work comfortably in a class with intermediate and advanced belts.

We have developed this Web site to provide you with information about our dojo, the martial arts we teach (Karate, Aikido, Jodo) , our philosophy and our instruction. We are always adding more articles and other content to our web site for our visitors, as well as a regular updates to Our Dojo Blog, our Calendar of Events and our Facebook Page. So if you enjoyed your visit today, don't forget to bookmark our site for return visits.

If you, or your child(ren), are interested in starting in the martial arts, check out our schedule and drop by to try a class. Trying out a class is often the best way to decide whether a martial arts school is the right one for you. If you have been looking for an activity to do with your child, check out our Family Classes.
