SUMMER 2025
Summer is here! Bring on the heat. We are outside for all three locations ans it is awesome. Students that train in the summer see amazing results.
What an amazing performance by all students at this year’s showcase. It is incredible to watch the results of the hard work and effort of the students.
With all the extra time it is a perfect opportunity to get some private lessons. You can book on picktime and if you don’t see a time that works for you, email Soke directly.
Beach Day will be July 16, 2025 at 10am with a rain date of July 17, 2025 at 10am. What is beach day you ask? It is a super awesome class at the beach. It will take place as Wasaga Beach area 6. Park at the rec plex and follow the path to the beach. Wear your bathing suit under your gi. Bring sunscreen, snacks, towels, and whatever else you need for a day at the beach.
