Our Karate features the best of three well-known styles.
Modern Self-Defence
Karate-jutsu
At La Ronge Martial Arts, the Head instructor has combined elements of three well-known styles of karate – Wado-ryu, Genwa-kai, and Shotokan – into a varied program of kihon (basics) and kata (forms). This combination is taught to children. Youth and adults learn Shito-ryu kempo karate.
Our school teaches Karate the way it is done in small schools in Japan: everyone learns together. We do not implement the strict structures you often see in Western dojos. Rather, we want to create a learning environment in where every member feels safe, acknowledges, and has unlimited opportunities to grow in skill development.

How Karate is Taught
Karate is taught alongside other martial arts using the Japanese model of teaching: the head instructor teaches the different skills at the same time, moving from group to group. In our dojo, you see participants learning their skills by themselves under guidance from other students and the head instructor.
Our Karate training focuses on self-defence – not on competition. However, we do spar (Kumite) without protective gear to test how we can further develop our skills. This brings each member closer to their next learning level.
Our head instructor started learning Karate at the age of 8 and has continued his learning throughout his life. He has studied Genwa-kai, Wado-ryu, Shotokan, and (now) Shito-ryu.
Very old Traditions
Karate comes from Okinawa and was introduced to Japan by two well-known karateka. From there, karate became a sporting activity practiced by many students around the world.
Many schools of karate also incorporate modern kobudo, training with weapons. In our school, the head instructor has chosen to only study the unarmed skills.
Nope. We study karate for personal development only. not for getting a price.
Novice practitioners start training in a regular karate uniform ($70). Intermediate and advanced practitioners can choose for a more expensive karate uniform that fits their development.
