Our Classes focus on fitness and self defense in a relaxed, fun and safe environment. The classes include warm ups, Uechi Ryu Katas & Exercises, Self Defense Techniques, Pad Work and Sparring. (Sparring is not mandatory. Participation in sparring is the students’ choice).

Our Children classes’ focus on a fun & safe environment. That is when they get the most from the class.   Our adult classes also focus on a fun workout with more emphasis on self defense and technique application as students’ progress.

We offer monthly street clothes and sparring classes which allow students to participate in a class involving realistic self defense situations.

Our club includes several families which involve parents and their children as students, which allows them to participate at class and practice together at home to promote an activity together which provides the benefits of learning a new skill and quality time together. Many of our kids enter in Nova Scotia Karate Association Tournaments.

Uechi Ryu Karate provides the opportunity for students to focus on individual development and participants are encouraged to practice and progress at their own level and ability.  Uechi Ryu is based on the traits of three animals, Tiger – Power, Speed and Agility; Dragon – Powerful Breathing; and the Crane – Balance.  Uechi Ryu is a balance of all three animals and as students develop and progress, the balance of the three animals is evident in their karate as their confidence and skills develop.
