New and upcoming events

IKGA Canada Summer Camp

is being hosted by West Coast Gojukai. Check out our Summar Camp website for details. If you make one camp this year make it this one.

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 and train 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.

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. And for a more gentle approach try the Beginner Yoga Class.

We also offer a Traditional Weapons class. An excellent opportunity for those of you who want to experiment with an alternative to 'empty hand' martial arts.

Check our schedule for class times.

We are pleased to announce that the Maple Ridge dojo is going great. So if Coquitlam is too far to travel maybe this additional location will suit you.


Inspirational thoughts:
Strong wine, fat meat, peppery things, very sweet things. These have not real taste; real taste is plain and simple. Supernatural, extraordinary feats do not characterize a real man; a real man is quite ordinary in behavior.
