Jitsu-Do Karate has been a provider of high-quality recreational, competitive and school programs since 2009 and we would love to work with you at your school!  We conduct classes for children in all grades and can handle large and small classes, single classes or multi-class units.  Different program subjects are available and can be customized to suit your needs but fall under the categories of Karate, Kickboxing, and Self-defense.  Our instructors are on the York Region Catholic/Public School Board and Simcoe County School Board approved vendor lists and have current Vulnerable Sector Screenings and First-Aid + CPR certifications. We have also worked with specialty schools, private schools and other institutions so we have all the experience needed to give you and your students a great and informative experience!

KARATE

This kind of program specializes in sharing with students a taste of the vast benefits associated with martial arts practice.  Students take part in a fitness component including body weight exercises, stretching and cardio and then learn basic techniques such as punching, kicking, blocking and footwork.  They have the opportunity to practice these skills individually, in small groups, and with implements such as bags, targets and pads.  Emphasis is placed on respect, hard work, personal achievement and the self-defense (non-violent) aspect of Karate.

KICK BOXING

This program uses martial arts skills paired with body weight exercises, cardio and partner work to help students get fitter, healthier and to have a respect for the power and skill of martial arts.  Striking pads, bags and targets are used under careful supervision as students push their strength and skill to do the best punches, kicks and strikes they can while encouraging their partners to do the same.  Though students are encouraged to stretch their comfort zone, everyone can go at their own pace as these classes can be personalized to any fitness level.

SELF-DEFENSE

Bottom line, this program helps kids stay safe.  Maybe the most important class we offer, self-defense teaches students awareness, empowerment, a proactive mindset and how to come home safe every day.  Grabs, strikes, falls, throws and grappling are all covered in this comprehensive self-defense system and students are guided through each portion with care and encouragement.  A point that is hammered home time and time again in this course is non-violence.  We are not looking to make the students heroes, they should always run away whenever possible.  It is only when running way is not possible that these techniques should be implemented.

PRICING

We offer classes to suit your needs and can customize the number of times a student sees us starting at a one time introduction to a 5-class unit and beyond.  Prices vary based on the # of students, # of classes, # of bookings etc. so please email for precise pricing after these variables can be taken into account.
