These are challenging times for everyone. Local businesses are suffering. Front-line workers are exhausted from relentless schedules. Everyone is out of sorts. Here are some tips to keep yourself healthy during the Covid-19 Restrictions: 1) Keep a Routine. Wake up and go to bed at your normal times. Keep your morning/bedtime regimes and don't forget to floss! 2) Enjoy well-balanced meals and snacks. [ 99 more words ] http://elitekarateottawa.com//how-to-stay-healthy-during-/

In response to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 crisis, we will be cancelling our classes until the beginning of April. At this point in time, we will not be re-opening until April 6th, but we will continue to keep everyone updated as we receive new information. We realize that this is a long time to go without classes, so we encourage students to continue practicing as much as possible. Our YouTube page is a great resource as it has videos of all the katas, which can help guide... you while practicing. Please use the following link to access our YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/user/EliteKarateOttawa This is a stressful and uncertain time for everyone. We urge you to take the necessary precautions to keep you, your family, and the community safe and healthy. We thank you all for your patience, and we are looking forward to seeing everyone very soon.

Congratulations to all of our martial artists for their hard work and dedication during last week's black belt grading. What does earning a black belt really mean?
