Renseikan Dojo is a family-owned and operated full-time martial arts school located in Pickering, Ontario. We provide instruction in the traditional Okinawan and Japanese martial arts of Karate, Aikido and Jodo, and have been training students in the Durham Region (Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa) and east Toronto region (Scarborough) for the past 20 years.

In addition to our emphasis on traditional, disciplined training, Renseikan Dojo is also very proud of our strong community of students and their families. We offer a full schedule of day and evening classes six days a week, and also hold several social functions for interested students and families.

Our classes are taught by our chief instructor, Ward Jardine, who is assisted by a talented group of blackbelt students. At Renseikan Dojo, most classes are taught by Sensei Jardine, and ALL classes are taught by fully qualified, adult blackbelts.
