80 years ago today (October 14th) Shane Yukio Higashi was born in Chemanius, British Columbia. Who knew back then the impact that the martial arts would have on... his life, or his impact on it? A living Grandmaster - earning the rank of 10th Dan and the title of "Hanshi" - Sensei Higashi has achieved the pinnacle of Chito-Ryu Karate-Do, and has played (and continues to play) a tremendous role in its development and expansion across Canada and around the world. Happy Birthday Sensei!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you've been able to enjoy family and friend time in a safe way, as we give thanks to all that we have despite the tough time we are living in. Please visit and share our website, as we can reflect on this month's Kansou from Sempai Burnside. http://newhamburgkarate.com/kansou.html

October 25th, 1936, the senior Karate masters in Okinawa held a meeting to decide the future of Karate. Originally, the art was known as Toudi ( lit. Chinese Hand) and taught in secrecy. But now it was decided to officially make it a Japanese art. The result was a name change ( Karate, "Empty Hand"), adopting Judo’s belt system (kyu/dan), creating new styles (-ryu), implementing titles (hanshi, kyoshi, shihan etc.) and introducing a competition format. ... If it wasn’t for this decision, maybe Karate wouldn’t exist today! That's why Oct 25 is celebrated as "World Karate Day". See more

Happy Birthday Sensei!

Super excited to be announcing the return to our indoor classes on the 17th. We will temporarily be training at the Haysville Community Centre until the Wilmot Recreation Complex fully reopens. Students are required to register for class in advance. Let me know if you have any questions. Sensei

Great to see everyone in person after a long five months. It was a great warm night with lots of positive energy and great effort. Look forward to our next class on Thursday. Special congrats and best wishes to our birthday boy George, 82 years young.
