In recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, there will be no classes on Wednesday, September 30.

We take this time to honour and remember residential school Survivors, their families and communities, and the children who never returned home.

May this day provide an opportunity for reflection, learning and continued commitment to reconciliation.

It was great to see an old friend back at the dojo tonight!

Nathan Quinn (Shodan 2011, Nidan 2017) stopped in with his family while home from Japan, where he now lives and works.

No matter how much time passes or how far away life takes you, it’s always nice to welcome one of our own back to the dojo.

Great seeing you and the family, Nathan!

We are lucky to have some of these coaches right in our own dojo. Hilary, Alec, Jon and Shelley put in a great deal of work and our competitors benefit greatly from their effort..

🏅 National Coaches Week | September 14–20

This week, Karate New Brunswick recognizes the coaches who give their time, knowledge and energy to support athletes across our province.

From introducing athletes to the sport to helping them develop, compete, and reach new levels, coaches play an important role in karate at every stage.

Thank you to all of the coaches across New Brunswick for the time you spend in the dojo, at competitions and behind the scenes supporting your athletes and helping our karate community grow. 🥋

Sensei McInnes recently found the first photo in his collection, a companion to the previously published photograph of Sensei Delaney and Sensei McInnes kneeling together, as well as another capturing them competing at one of the first Atlantic Championships.

Taken behind the elementary school in Hampton sometime in the early 1980s, it captures two people who studied under Sensei Higashi and played pivotal roles in the origin and growth of Chito-Ryu karate and kobujutsu on Canada’s East Coast.

Their contributions helped establish a foundation that generations of karateka have continued to build upon. But perhaps just as important is the friendship behind these photographs, a friendship whose influence and spirit can still be felt throughout our Chito-Ryu community today.
