	We offer modern martial arts instruction with a focus on technique, practicality, and effectiveness. We offer instruction in Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate while incorporating principles of Small Circle Ju Jitsu, Kyusho Jitsu, Tuite, and American Kenpo. We offer two streams of training: 1) Practical, with a focus on self-defence, flexibility, and fitness; and 2) In-depth, which focuses on practical self-defence while also studying the arts at a deeper level. Classes are offered in partnership with Ki Karate, which is located in the Rhythm Dance Studio, 6A Tippett Road, Toronto Canada.
