Why Karate?
Family.
More than a karate school, we are a family school. We train together, learn from each other and support one another. We are a safe place where everyone can feel comfortable and we care about each other’s success. We help each other on and off the mat.
World Class Senseis.
We are a Shotokan Karate school with world class Senseis. Our coaches have coached at World Championships, Panam Championships, National and Provincial Championships as coaches, athletes and managers. Our coaches are NCCP certified and experienced with all levels and abilities of athletes.
Happy Place.
Our dojo is our happy place. We all love our karate; we love the strength, the big kicks, the fast moves and teaching and learning from each other. 6Tigers Senseis make sure that you have fun while you are working harder than you ever have before. You will leave the dojo smiling and bring that energy to everyone in your life inside the dojo and out.
6Tigers.
At 6Tigers, you will have the best experience of karate in a safe, fun and world class dojo.
Self Defence.
Part of our training each week is focussed on our safety. We make sure that our community is aware of our surroundings, trusting our instincts, using our voices to create boundaries and to voice our needs, and have powerful physical skills for emergencies, regardless of age, size, gender or ability. Every place safer because we are there.
Flexible Schedule.
We know that our students and families are busy with school and other activities and that is why that we have many options during the week and on the weekend for beginner and advanced students. Our beginners get 3 classes per week and more advanced students can train as often as they like, choosing the classes that best suit their schedules.
