About Us
We study Shotokan Karate which is the original Traditional Japanese Karate. Our Dojo (school) is located at the Community Centre in St. Jones Within, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Shotokan was founded in Japan in 1922 and has since spread worldwide to become one of the most popular martial arts systems in the world. Shotokan has been well represented in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada for many decades. We are members of the Newfoundland Karate Association (NKA), and affiliated with Karate Newfoundland & Labrador.
Thank you for visiting!
Experience
Our instructors are Kevin Price (2nd Degree Black Belt from the Newfoundland Karate Association (NKA) and 1st Degree Black Belt from Tsuruoka O-Sensei), and Janet Price (Brown Belt from Bruce Lee Sensei (NKA)). We have studied under and are closely associated with Bruce Lee Sensei (6th Degree Black Belt). We have studied at Bruce Lee Sensei's Mundy Pond Shotokan Karate Dojo for many years and have attended seminars by Tsuruoka O-Sensei (10th Degree Black Belt - National Karate Association of Canada (NKA) - (The International Budo Institute PDF) and Katsumata Sensei (7th Degree Black Belt). Lee Sensei also studied under the late Nishiyama O-Sensei (10th Degree Black Belt posthumous - International Traditional Karate Federation (ITKF) PDF). Frequent seminars are available to enable our students to study directly under these Karate masters.
