FORT ERIE'S ONLY TRADITIONAL ADULTS KARATE PROGRAM

Adults & Teens Traditional Goju Ryu Karate

Higaonna Sensei, Our Organization's Founder

Community, fitness & an unparalleled workout.

​

With a worldwide organization founded by Higaonna Sensei (Pictured) in Okinawa, and a dojo led by Sensei Kate Cowan, we offer the only traditional karate in Fort Erie. 

​

Our adults program is focused around the true, traditional roots of goju ryu karate. Here, you'll find body conditioning, movement in time with technique, pressure-tested sparring (which is not for beginners), kata, bunkai, traditional hojo-undo, as well as a great community of supportive people who all have the same goals in mind.

​

Physical limitations​

We strive to make sure everyone can attend our classes.

  • All students should be able to walk or lightly jog unaided and get up and down off the ground without help. 

  • While students in wheelchairs do train in some gyms, our gym is not equipped for this.

  • Class is usually done on timers: eg, 30 seconds of pushups. If you can only do 2 pushups, great. If you can do 200, also great. 

  • If you have an injury or limitation, we will offer modifications. For example, students with injured shoulders may do another activity when we are doing pushups. 

  • It's all about how hard you try.

  • You get what you give!
