Abbotsford Karate Club

I am training with Abbotsford Karate club for 8 years now, all because the great teaching, awesome friendships and persinal level, after training karate for over 20 years in different parts of the world this is the place where to beThanks sensei Paul

I have been in martial arts for over 20 years and have never been to a more welcoming, patient, kind and wholesome environment. The teaching is excellent and there is more taught here than martial arts. These are true mentors. My son attends regularly. I did for some time as well and my daughter has attended on occasion. This place is such a gift that anything I can say just doesn't cut it. Just join and you will see.

I joined a couple of months ago and couldn’t be happier! Sensei’s Paul and Ted have made me feel welcomed since day one and continue to do so. It’s a great group of folks who’s lives have brought them here and are all working together towards a similar goal. It’s incredibly fun and I look forward to going to every class!

I have been training here for almost a year now, and it has been one of the best experiences I've had since leaving high school. Everyone in the dojo is kind and willing to give a helping hand to any difficulties I have had.

Always been a great experience learning from Sensei Paul..

My high energy son joined Abbotsford Karate Club only 4 months ago but since then, he has gained so much! Increased confidence, better focus, enhanced discipline and goal setting and stronger core are just few examples of his general improvement. I would highly recommend this dojo. Senseis are kind yet firm, patient, and professional with massive amount of knowledge.

I've trained here with Sensei Paul and Sensei Ted for just over 5 years, and it's been a tremendous experience. My greatest fear when I began my search for a martial arts club was that it would be intimidating, but the Abbotsford Karate Club is an inviting group of dedicated people who have joined for many different reasons. Over the past years this group has become like family to me. The instructors are incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and dedicated. The overall pursuit - self defense and respect - I originally joined up for has benefited me in all areas of my day-to-day, but being apart of the group at the Abbotsford Karate Club has transformed my life. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve fitness, or/and wanting to learn a martial art.

Practice is excellent here and the masters are very patient and ensuring that each student is getting proper training. Even for slow learners, they give more attention and encourage them in the right direction.

I have been doing karate for almost a year now and have loved every minute of it! Learning karate under Sensei Paul and Sensei Ted has been a fantastic experience and they’re so kind and encouraging. Everyone is always available to answer your questions and lend a helping hand. And the self defence I have learned here also allows me to feel more safe and have more confidence in myself. I would recommend this to anyone thinking of trying karate in the future.

Our two sons joined the Abbotsford Karate Club in September 2018 and quickly found a second home with with a great bunch of highly skilled athletes. This dojo supports both new comers and the elite in a supportive, fun learning envirnonment. Our boys are challenged to be their best, to respect themselves and others, and to work hard. The environment at the Abbotsford Karate Club teaches more than the physical sport. Under the excellent mentorship of Sensei Paul and Sensei Ted, they are learning the discipline of karate and many important life lessons as well. Thank you Sensei’s, and all of the dojo family for helping shape our boys into responsible, focused, and mindful young men.Karen & Bob Gauthier
