Our History
OUR STORY
Ippon Karate Dojo was founded in March 2005. The Dojo was created by Adam, during his competitive career to bring together like minded individuals and spread knowledge and training to kids and adults. Within the first year the club sent athletes to the National Championships and had a growing children's program.
Starting with one instructor and a handful of students the club has grown and now hosts classes for children, teens, adults and athletes with a disabilty. We are aiming to bring the traditional art of Karate into the modern times, with new training models and techniques.
We are hoping to have our athletes be part of team Canada and to represent our country at the Olympics and international events, while also developing others whose goal may be to increase their ability at a more local level.
