OUR JOURNEY…
Ippon Karate Dojo was founded in March 2005. The Dojo was created by Adam, during his competitive career to bring together like-minded individuals and spread knowledge and training to kids and adults. Within the first year, the club sent athletes to the National Championships and had a growing children's program.
Starting with one instructor and a handful of students the club has grown and now hosts classes for children, teens, and adults. We are aiming to bring the traditional art of Karate into modern times, with new training models and techniques.
We hope to have our athletes be part of team Canada and represent our country at the Olympics and international events, while also developing others whose goal may be to increase their ability at a more local level.
Come into our community, go from beginner to expert and take the first step on the road to becoming a black belt.

“My son began with Ippon when he was 6, he is now 16, a black belt and a Canadian champion! Karate has provided my son with an incredible amount of discipline that has transferred to all aspects of his life and has made a positive difference in his life. He has travelled Nationally & Internationally to compete. Prior to choosing this dojo we checked out a few in town and choosing Ippon dojo was an easy choice. Sensei Wackershauser and all staff are incredible leaders and they have been such role models for my son. I highly recommend Ippon! It is truly one big family atmosphere and you won’t regret it. :)”
