FORT ERIE'S ONLY TRADITIONAL ADULTS KARATE PROGRAM
Adults & Teens Traditional Goju Ryu Karate

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!
