Finishing the year with some grading promotions. Despite the chaos, the inconvenience and the constant back and forth between Zoom classes, outdoor classes, restricted classes.. and everything in between. These guys worked very hard and did a great job in their grading. Surprise!

Shoshin's first generation of Black Belts. These students have been training with me since I was learning how to teach! Time flies when you work hard and have fun at the same time.

After a tough year, we recognize everyone's ability to adapt and persevere. Some extra hard workers earned the first set of awards at our dojo! Congrats!!

A new Generation of Black Belts

Some new Belts and Awards to end off the year! More pics to come

Proud to present Shoshin's first Black Belts. Congrats guys!

Board Breaking seminar was a blast! Everyone did great with masks, distancing and of course DESTRUCTION OF BOARDS!!! Excellent job everyone! Some parents tried as well. Watching the confidence grow as the day went on, is what inspires the instructors to keep pushing students forward to see what else they can accomplish. . More pictures to come so stay tuned! Tag the dojo if anyone got some good videos or pictures! . .... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #shoshin #martialarts #karate #gojuryu #jiujitsu #brazillianjiujitsu #power #selfdefense #antibullying #resilience #integrity #compassion #humility #schedule #fitness #aurora #yorkregion #wellington #richmondhill #newmarket #oakridges #toronto #dojo #fun #practice #safety #protection #awareness #boardbreaking #confidence See more

After you've done this for a while you realize you're not just a student coming by a few times week. You become part of something bigger; a community rooted in the desire to improve yourself so you can show compassion and leadership to others. Also it's weird how they were so tiny and now their teaching mannerisms resemble a blend of all their Sempais and Senseis... the future looks good! . . . .... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #shoshin #martialarts #karate #gojuryu #jiujitsu #brazillianjiujitsu #judo #selfdefense #antibullying #resilience #integrity #compassion #humility #youth #leadership #aurora #yorkregion #wellington #richmondhill #newmarket #oakridges #toronto #dojo #fun #practice #safety #protection #awareness #coaching #volunteers See more

Practicing alone is hard. Practicing online isn't the same. But that's no reason not to practice! Sometimes a new pair of gloves, another weapon, a couple mats or even something new to hit is enough to bring back that motivation. The dojo is able to get equipment! DM, email or call for inquires. You will have to schedule a pick up time to retrieve your items. They will be wiped down once I receive them. . (Not to mention it's another way to support local businesses and your ...dojo through this.. weird time ) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #shoshin #martialarts #karate #gojuryu #jiujitsu #brazillianjiujitsu #judo #selfdefense #antibullying #resilience #integrity #compassion #humility #covid_19 #selfisolation #aurora #yorkregion #wellington #richmondhill #newmarket #oakridges #toronto #dojo #fun #practice #safety #protection #awareness #supportlocal #merch See more
