Congratulations to Sensei Higashi!

A black belt (and grandson) workout! Fun practice with Senseis, Randy, Mark (and grandson), Jason, Rick, Kelly and Karen. A good review session.

That's a picture of strength. Hang in there, we will be back.

Great kumite practice today! Thank you to Sensei Germain Bisson, Sensei Higashi, the Saiko Shihan council and all the participants who make it so much fun. Even though we are not able to train in person , Chito Ryu is alive and well. We keep training, so we are ready to return!

What do Chuck Norris, Sean Connery, Elvis Presley & #TWG2022 have in common? Black Belts in Karate! An event in The World Games since 1981, the #Karate competi...tions will be featured at Birmingham-Southern College! Learn more http://bit.ly/3tOPEFF #WhatInTheWorldGames #RoadtoBHM

A flashback! Those were fun times.

The PHO update for group sports, is lifting some restrictions, but unfortunately not enough for us to be able to reopen. See below for details. Fingers crossed we get a couple of months in before summer! We really miss everyone, and are looking forward to seeing our students, existing ones and new ones!

Once we are able to reopen, we would love more women and girls come and try karate with us. You don't have to be young, or in good shape. Karate is for every body. It's not just something for your kids to do. Come and be amazed at what you can do, you'll love it.

We're still training. Always something to practice and refine. Thank you Sensei Germain Bisson, for another inspiring and motivating seminar.

Great training and inspirational conversation. Keep training Chito Ryu, Isshin!

What was your excuse?

A special moment, the year I met Lyne Laroche, a sister in my karate family. Isshin.

In order to comply with the new covid order, we will have to suspend classes for the next two weeks. We will resume, hopefully Wednesday November 25 at the Loft. Use this time to associate the kihon and kata names with the first 4 techniques, we're still hoping to grade in December. See you in a couple of weeks.

Rest, temporarily... don't quit.

While practicing advanced techniques is also important, during the covid restrictions, keep working on those basics you already know. Unfortunately, Dr. Bonnie Henry has extended the current restrictions for a while longer yet, so no in person training for the time being. Looking forward to seeing you soon. We will make another update as we get them.

Merci à tous les participants à la clinique d’aujourd’hui...plus de 75 participants. D’un océan à l’autre, nous formons une grande famille! Thanks to all who to...ok part in today’s clinic...more than 75 participants! Coast to coast, we’re one big family! Kyozon kyoei! Chito-Ryu Isshin! Merci beaucoup à Sensei Paul Arsenault pour les photos!

Thank you Sensei Bisson, for your instruction today! We have lots to practice.

A very happy 80th birthday to Sensei Higashi. He continues to inspire us to grow and learn, to be our very best, in karate and in life.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Enjoy this weekend of gratitude!

Our students, working hard!

Stay coachable.

Our youth staying active, Practicing kihon. We have space for 4 more! Let's stay active. Thank you Sensei Randy for a great class tonight!

Come sharpen your tools! See you tonight, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Evergreen Hall, the stage area. 6:30 for youth, 7:30 for adults!

So happy to be part of this training today, so happy to be able to continue working on our skills and knowledge of karate with such an amazing group. Thank you Sensei Bisson!

Our awesome hard working crew! The goal... orange belt by Christmas.

So very true. Karate itself, but also the amazing people from all walks of life, all ages, that become your karate family.

First class of the season for us last night. So happy to be back! So excited to have our dedicated adult student, Mark return to train with us! Adults and older youth, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 7:30 to 8:30, Evergreen Hall, the Stage, come and try something new!

We did it! We're back in action, social distancing style! So happy to see our dedicated students, Joem, Tasya, Drew and Sameen! We're all a little rusty, not as quick as we were, but we'll get it back! Chito Ryu, the work continues!

Have courage and dive into something new, you never know where it might lead. contact: [email protected]

Well, we are very excited to welcome students back to training, our awesome core crew, as well as new students 12 years of age to 112 years of age. Times and location to be announced. While Viasport and Karate BC are looking to resume contact in a cohort model, we are going to continue with social distancing for the time being, and keep our class sizes small, so enrollment will be limited to older youth and adults, who will have an easier time with social distancing requir...ements. We want our students to enjoy training in a safe and positive environment. We may also look at having a women's only morning class if there is interest. Please contact Sensei Karen for more information, see contact info below. Like and share, help us get the word out.

Hopefully soon, we can all resume training together.

Enjoyed a great training session today with Karate Cama. How lucky am I? It was motivating, inspiring and energizing.

Drive from the legs for power.

Feeling nostalgic.

A message from our Canadian Chito Ryu president. We're really missing all of our students and our training. Hope you're all doing well. Message from Andre Buret, President CCRKA... Dear Chito Ryu family member, This message is to send you all our support during these difficult COVID times. Even though we are not able to meet in person, this is also to inform you that our Saiko Shihan Council and Executive have regular conversations to make sure our Association remains strong in the face of this global challenge. With this, I hope you, your families, and friends are doing well. Please let us know if there is anything one of us could possibly help with where there is a need. Several of you have found different ways of continuing to train, which is important for all of us. I encourage you all to make the best of your space at home, and with the arrival of the Spring, may be your back yard. I really look forward to seeing you all in a dojo in a near future. Until then, lets make sure we remain healthy and sane. One of the good jokes I heard these days is that once we will all be allowed to go outside again, it may be time for all of us to be incarcerated!. Jokes aside, take care of your health, body and mind. Training sure does make me feel good in my daily routine. With this, I just wanted to make sure you all are fine despite the times. And to let you know that the Saiko Shihan Council and Executive are all well! Times will be better soon, always stay positive. I will also add that all of us are sending our warmest thoughts to our Chito Ryu family members in Nova Scotia in view of the tragic events that unfolded there a couple of days ago. Know that we are with you all, and that we offer you our strength and support. Isshin! I discussed with Higashi Sensei, who also sends his warm greetings to all of you. He asked me to pass on these words: Stay home and take care of yourselves. He also said Hey, I got Corona beer! In other words, good sign, Sensei is full of humour and health, as usual! Again, I hope you all are doing well, despite the challenges. Stay strong and healthy and see you all soon! Andre Buret, President CCRKA

Hi Everyone, Avalon Karate has graciously shared this with us, enabling everyone to keep up their karate training, while we are keeping our social distance! ISSHIN!

A big congratulations to our newest greenbelt, River! He is a star karate student!

Not just for kids. You might think you're too old... you're not!

Get to the dojo!

Saiko Shihan Higashi. Just because.

No karate tonight either, as a result. Study your manual!

Hi folks, just a reminder, we've decided to err on the side of caution and cancel classes tonight. It's slick, cold and extremely windy out there. Stay safe and warm and we hope to see you Thursday.

The ladies of Kaizen Chito Ryu Karate! You're amazing!!

Congratulations to our two newest yellow belts! We're so proud of them.
