Shudokan Family Karate Centre

Gillian and I have previously trained at another dojo in the area. Shudokan Family Karate is so, so much better in all ways. It has a very welcoming atmosphere. Teaching is internationally recognised and is the same from whomever is teaching. Classes are well structured and available 5 evenings a week.

Shudokan Family Karate Centre is a truly fantastic dojo! I have enjoyed studying traditional Okinawan goju ryu karate under Sensei Tetsuji Nakamura (Global Chief Instructor for the IOGKF), and the other exceptional instructors that make up the team at Shudokan. The atmosphere is extremely positive, and the other practitioners are supportive and willing to lend a helping hand when needed. The dojo itself is very nice - one of the best training facilities for karate in the region. I learn something new every time I train, and I've noticed steady improvements to my health as well as my ability as a student of karate. I love that both day and evening classes are offered, providing good value for members. I am very happy to recommend Shudokan to others, and I hope to continue training here for years to come!

I’ve travelled all around the world to find the perfect martial arts school - Shudokan is it! An effective martial art, expert instructors, wonderful people and a big family feeling! I would recommend Shudokan to anyone looking to become the best version of themselves in body, mind and spirit!

A great Dōjō, a wonderful and familiar feeling between the students and great and dedicated instructors. And under the leadership of the world IOGKF Chief Instructor, Tetsuji Nakamura Sensei, what a privilege! You cannot find a better place to Practice!

At first, I was inspired by Master Higaonna before joining IOGKF. His wealth of knowledge in Karatedo realIy impressed me.Shudokan is the real deal. Although I have met sensei Nakamura once, I am attracted to his karate commercials. Can't wait to see him again at the next Gasshuku.I am thankful to my sensei and sempai in Calgary for accepting me to the IOGKF family. Don't miss out and join this club. It is the best, and you won't regret

Amazing karate school with most amazing teachers!!! Especially with the knowledge of Nakamura Sensei, your sure to get the best of traditional karate training! Not to mention the amazing students there who become so helpful and naturally become just part of your very own karate family!!!

Great dojo! The senseis and senpais are fantastic and very knowledgeable. The style taught here is Goju-Ryu and you can trace the lineage back to grand masters in Okinawa, Japan. It's legit traditional karate. You train your mind and body, and develop discipline and respect.

Simply the best, not only in burlington, Ontario, but internationally. Well designed programs for all ages, highly recommended.

I’ve been training at Shudokan for over 10 years now and am looking forward to training there for many more years to come. I enjoy the physical training immensely and really appreciate the traditional and respectful environment. All the instructors encouraged everyone to simply better themselves. I’m always impressed when I see Nakamura Sensei and other high ranking instructors lead international training seminars then come back to teach the pee-wee and junior classes with the same passion. There is a real sense of family there as evident by the number of families that train together through the family classes or just their respective classes. Our two sons enjoyed training there too for a number of years and still have their participant medals from their Friendship Tournaments proudly displayed in their rooms. Our one son has autism and he was welcomed and accommodated there seamlessly, with junior instructors right by his side. My wife and I are so glad that our family found Shudokan Family Karate and we give it our highest recommendation.

Excellent karate center for the kids and adults. The teachers (sensei) are excellent and are amazing role models for the kids. Great place for families and for adults for all ages. Highly recommend Shudokan Family Karate Center!
