Well, 2020 is coming to an end! What a strange year it was, a pandemic, people we knew and cared about are no longer with us, the regular pace of life and our routines changed forever. We are looking forward to a much better 2021 with health and happiness for our families and friends wherever they are. Thank you for your support this past year and for sticking with us through these difficult times. We simply wouldn’t exist without the extraordinary commitment and engagement ...from you. Stay safe and see you all in 2021 Happy new year

Hello, Guseikai Calgary families & members, this Saturday we had our last zoom training session and we are on our official holiday break so we wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continued support during these trying and strange times. Nothing about this year was/is even close to normal and we want to thank you for your commitment to the training we were able to offer and your flexibility while maneuvering around the different scenarios we were prese...nted by the government. To all our parents, thank you for supporting the training program. I know it’s not what you signed up for, but please know we are doing everything we can to ensure everybody feels good about what they are learning & doing. You are such a huge part of the successful training of your kids and for that, we are very appreciative. We wish you all a very Happy Holiday season. Enjoy your family time, stay healthy and safe so we can get back in the dojo as soon as possible. Thank you for everything. The Guseikai Calgary Team

The discipline demonstrated by our students coming or leaving the dojo, wearing their masks, wearing socks, keeping their distances cannot be compared with social drinking or a pub environment!!!!

Great memories!

Please note that we have tentatively booked new dates for 2021, and you will be notified once everything is confirmed. Thank you all so much for your patience during this time.
