JUNE 2026
June has arrived! Summer is here. Students who train in the summer see tremendous results.
We have moved our training to the outdoor dojos. The Hombu remains at the same address, and the Thornbury dojo will move to Lion’s Park, which is across the street from the Marsh Street Centre. Sign up remains the same.
When at the Hombu please remember to stay only in the outdoor dojo. The rest of the property is private and not open for public accesss.
Our first seminar with Coach Lisa on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was incredible. We will be having her back again in the near future. The next two seminars will be in Barrie on June 06 on MMA with Gary Goodridge and June 20 on Goju-Ryu in Oakville. Please note that the June 20 Seminar is for ages 14+ orange belt and up. Information has been sent out via email, if you didn’t receive talk to Soke.

Summer is the a great time to bring a friend to try a class. If that friend joins in June, July, or August your name will be entered in a draw to win a fun prize.
Summer is also the perfect time to up your game. With all of your extra time it is a fantastic opportunity to book some private lessons with Soke.
Remember that we offer Tai Chi classes as well as Kickboxing and Personal Training. Do you work for a company that would benefit from a Self-Defence course or a Mental Martial Arts seminar? Seminars can be booked through Soke.
