Club Budo De Montral

Club Budo De Montral is a prestigious martial arts school located in Montreal, Canada. Specializing in Aikibudo and Kobudo, the school offers a unique and traditional approach to these ancient Japanese martial arts.

Aikibudo, a martial art of Japanese origin, has its roots in the traditions of the Samurai warriors. The rigorous transmission of techniques and the understanding of Aikibudo's harmonization of effectiveness, grace, and flexibility make it an exceptional discipline. The art does not involve competitive sports, but techniques are applied with realism. There are no adversaries, only practice partners.

All throws, and joint locks are executed with mastery, and Aikibudo is accessible to all, with each individual progressing at their own pace.

Kobudo, meaning ancient martial art, is practised at Club Budo De Montral as an educational discipline rather than a martial pursuit. The school is affiliated with the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shint Ryu style, considered the oldest school in Japan and a national treasure. Using weapons such as the bokuto, bo staff, naginata, and iaito, Kobudo develops remarkable gesture control, concentration, and other valuable skills. The school offers detailed programs and descriptions of the various katas and techniques within this discipline.

Daniel Mallet, the first assistant and instructor under Damblant, has also achieved high dan ranks in both disciplines. Richard Proulx, another highly skilled instructor at the school, holds high dan ranks in both Aikibudo and Kobudo and assists Damblant in teaching.

Josette Lanteigne, a dedicated practitioner, also holds significant ranks in Aikibudo and assists with instruction at the school.
