    My wife has been training for years, my daughter has joined as well. My family has really enjoyed their time at Jitsu-Do and has been a great place for them to unwind, make friends and just enjoy themselves every time they go. Great teachers, great owner. Patient and methodical while teaching has been great for my young daughter.

    We had such a wonderful experience with the town’s preschool karate program, especially with Heather as the instructor. She is incredibly friendly, patient, and engaging, and my son responded so well to her teaching style. It was amazing to see him gain new skills and confidence each week in a fun and supportive environment. He genuinely looks forward to going every week, and we have signed him up for 2 more sessions in the new year, and then joining the Dojo itself once he turns 4. We’re very grateful for the positive impact this program had on him and highly recommend it to other families.

    I have been with Jitsu-Do for 13 years. First as a student that trained 6 days a week and now as an Instructor as well.
    Jitsu-Do is honestly like no other dojo I've ever encountered (I've been to several). It's very high quality teaching. Every student is known by name as well as strengths and what they are working on. We train hard and also laugh a lot together. This place is my happy place and the people there are my second family.
    Sensei Ginn is not just your run of the mill Sensei. He doesn't just stop at "do these things because I said so". He provides knowledge as to the why of everything. He makes sure that not only do you know how to do each thing but that you…

    I've been a member of the Jitsu-Do Karate Dojo for 12 years now (through the re-branding from CRKF to Jitsu-Do) and am still enjoying attending with my now teenage son. There's always a fresh angle to consider from Sensei Ginn and the other teachers bringing new perspectives on traditional Martial Arts.
    The thing I like most about it is how Sensei Ginn strikes a great balance between fitness, traditional and practical training in each class. There's a strong core of traditional Karate practice, but even at junior ranks, students learn about basic grappling and partner work (grab escapes and throws) bringing concepts and techniques from Judo and Ju-Jitsu in to round out…

    Our child truly enjoyed this karate class. He had so much fun that he would come home and proudly practice the moves and techniques he learned in class.
    The class was a great balance of learning and play — lots of movement, running around, and having fun, which really helped him release energy and stress in a positive way. He always looked forward to class and was excited to attend every time.
    Receiving a stamp at the end of each class was also a highlight for him and a great source of motivation. We’re very grateful for such a positive and enjoyable experience.

    Sensei Mike is an incredible human. I did a class through the city of newmarket in the fall and myself and one other lady were the only adults with lots of kids. Mike not only showed you how to do techniques, but showed you why, always emphasizing running is always the best option. For those saying the way they "talked to my kids", no one ever had issue with any of the instructors while I was there, maybe it's more of a you issue. I wish you nothing but success and thank you for the fun!
