About Us
The Kanto Sho Karate Club was founded in January of 2002. The Dojo has strong roots, grounded in the teachings of our karate forefathers both in Japan and Canada.

The instructors have over 50 years of teaching experience amongst them. They have been training the art of Renbukai Karate since 1978. Instructors have focused their time and energy on developing their skills and that of their students in this specific art.
 
Today, it appears that martial art clubs propose to be experts/masters in every new art.  Our instructors have strived to maintain the integrity of the art they were taught 30 years ago.
 
They have trained, taught and entered competitions in Japan since 1984. They still travel to Japan every year, continuing to develop their skills and forge strong relationships with the Karate Masters.

Members of the Kanto Sho Karate Club enter tournaments in Canada, USA and Japan.
Some to note are:

Karate instills positive values in our lives.
We pass on that which we have learned.
Helping our students surpass our physical skills and abilities.
Moving on to be the best person they can be.
Taking these strengths into every day life.
