OUR STORY

After years of learning and teaching martial arts in Burlington, Ontario, Sensei Kate began Ogawa Martial Arts in Ridgeway, ON, back in 2018. Our roots are humble: we opened first in a local church before moving into a private space, and then finally into Ogawa Karate's current location.

Sensei Kate is a yondan (4th degree black belt) as graded by Bakkies Laubscher, 9th degree black belt of South Africa. She has been training over 25 years. She is also a registered Fitness Kickboxing Instructor.

In 2019 we moved into a small space within the Clarion Hotel. Now, after the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have rebranded into Ogawa Martial Arts & Fitness, a community-centric space for all ages and people. We continue to offer more and more programs to further serve the Fort Erie area.
