Canada Shotokan Karate has been teaching traditional karate-do here since 1972. No sports trophies, no contracts — just the art, passed down directly. Our Shihan, Norman Welch, is a student of Tsutomu Ohshima Sensei, one of the last direct students of Master Gichin Funakoshi, the founder of Shotokan. That lineage matters. No need to be fit or have experience; you just need to show up. We'll teach you the rest — for your mind, body, and spirit.
