Alberta Shito-Ryu Itosu-Kai Karate and Kobudo Association

The Alberta Club is a part of a much larger Itosukai family. We can’t wait until we’re able to train together again! In the meantime, we offer weekly virtual classes, and will resume in person training when the pandemic restrictions are lifted. PM us for details!

We’re looking forward to seeing this published. Should be a great read in the new year.

Merry Christmas Gang! We can’t get together in person due to the pandemic, but that doesn’t mean we can’t hang out and tell outrageous karate stories, hoist a few virtual pints, and enjoy ourselves. Our virtual Christmas party is set for Dec 18th at 8:00 pm. We hope you can make it!

As this scourge known as Covid 19 continues to ravage our lives, our livelihoods and our economy, we are once again required to cease teaching Karate in a confined space. from March 2020 through to October we were able to offer open space classes while the weather held and started back to an indoor classroom in November. During the past 8 months our national headquarters has offered Zoom classes and a couple of our instructors are doing the same in Alberta. Unfortunately w...e are in the midst of another lockdown so indoor classes are cancelled until further notice. If anyone wants to partake in online classes please reach out for a more information. If you are not a current member of Shitoryu Itosu Kai, please contact either Joe or Tony to explore what can be done to further your martial arts journey. We want, first and foremost for healthy students and their families. We will update this page as things progress. Stay well.
