Sensei and the kids stretching

Summer's here Summer's Here

And that means CAMP.


Kid's Karate Camp, for ages 6 and up, is happening on Wednesday afternoons in July and August from 1pm - 4pm. The July dates are the 14th,21st and the 28th. The August dates are the 4th, 11th and 18th.
The July camp will focus on self-defence including: avoiding conflict as well as the physical side of self-defence. The August camp will provide an introduction to traditional Japanese weapons as they are used in Karate.

For the little ones we have two two-day camps .. Dragonflies Camp is on Tuesday and Thursday July 13th and 15th; and again in August on Tuesday the 10th and Thursday the 12th. Both camps are held in the afternoon from 1pm - 3pm.

These are wonderful ways to introduce your kids to physical training using Karate and for those who already train it is a good opportunity to learn new things and try out new moves.

Adults! Keep training.


Ed's turn
We are devoted to a community spirited traditional approach to training in the martial art of Gojukai Karate-Do. Regular classes are held during the week for children, teenagers and adults of all ages.

New students are always welcome.    Come breathe with us.

As a member of the International Karate-Do Gojukai Association Canada we are part of a world wide organisation dedicated to peace and respect for ourselves and others.

Our karate training follows the teachings of the late Master Gogen Yamaguchi (The Cat).

We offer Adults and Teens classes Monday through Thursday evenings for those who want a challenge. Kids classes are available for a variety of ages and abilities, and on Saturdays we have a class for the whole Family.

In addition to Karate classes, other programs offered at West Coast Gojukai include Hatha Yoga classes for gentle stretching, strengthening, improved balance and better concentration. At scheduled times during the year we offer Kundalini Yoga. This form of yoga offers new ways of using yoga in your life. And, for those with specific healing requirements from yoga,we offer a gentle Therapeutic Yoga.

Check our schedule for class times.
And don't forget! We are holding a new Dragonflies program. Bring the little ones.
