We wish a very happy birthday to Akihito Yagi Sensei. It's been 13 years since he was here in Okotoks.
Time flies when you're having fun!
When I see people complaining about teens on social media, I simply have to applaud these kids who are in the 10-15 year old class and have been coming to classes for the past 3-6 years.
These students make me exceptionally happy to be running Okotoks Karate over the past 15 years. These kids are absolutely amazing and make life at the dojo a breeze.
Join us for a free class and see what we have to offer. At Okotoks Karate everything is OK! Everything is OK
Come on down and watch this Karate Tournament!
