Ready to kickstart your karate journey? Brooklin Wado-Kai Karate in Whitby, Canada, has got your back! Founded on the “On Ko Chi Shin” philosophy (learning from the past to understand the present), Mark Illy and the team are all about teaching karate techniques and building strong character.
Karate is a full-on martial art from Okinawa that’s all about strikes, kicks, and blocks. With our training, you'll get more focused, confident, disciplined, and self-aware. It’s not just about getting fit—it’s about growing physically and mentally.
Our training is broken down into four main parts: basic techniques (Kihon Waza), forms (Kata), partner drills (Kihon Kumite), and sparring (Kumite). This approach builds a solid technical foundation and practical application skills.
Led by Head Instructor Mark Illy (3rd Degree Black Belt) and Senior Instructor Ron Sheyan (7th Degree Black Belt), our experienced team can't wait to help you crush your goals. We’ve got classes for everyone—adults, teens, families, and kids aged 6 and up.
So whether you’re in it for fitness, self-defence, or just a cool new challenge, Brooklin Wado-Kai Karate offers a fun and supportive environment. Come join us and kick off your journey to personal growth and martial arts mastery!
