Little Mountain Traditional Martial Arts

Little Mountain dojo in Vancouver, led by instructors Tim and Dave, is a fantastic place to learn traditional Shorinji-ryu karate. Tim and Dave are highly knowledgeable and experienced, and provide top-notch instruction, emphasizing proper form, technique, and practical application.Located inside the Vancouver Welsh Society building off Main Street and 18th Avenue, Little Mountain dojo is large, clean, and welcoming. The instructors and students have created a supportive environment that fosters a sense of community and camaraderie among the students.Tim and David create a positive and uplifting atmosphere, where students are encouraged to support and learn from one another. In addition to the physical training, the dojo also emphasizes the mental and spiritual aspects of martial arts, such as meditation and mindfulness, helping students develop focus, discipline, and resilience in all aspects of their lives. Under the expert guidance of Sensei Mortley, Little Mountain dojo is an excellent place to learn and grow in the Shorinji-ryu style.In addition to karate, students are also encouraged to study traditional weapons, including the bo, jo, tombo, and sai.In addition to being instructors, Tim and Dave are also parents and have experience teaching all ages. There are classes suitable for every age and skill level. I highly recommend Little Mountain dojo for anyone looking to learn (or expand) their knowledge of traditional Shorinji-ryu karate and develop themselves both physically and mentally.
