Bushi Martial Arts Academy
Train Hard. Grow Strong. Shine.
Our Philosophy
We strive to create a supportive yet challenging environment that motivates our members to exceed their own expectations. By training the mind, body, and spirit, our holistic approach emphasizes the virtues of traditional martial arts. We believe advanced training cultivates greater self-awareness and a deeper appreciation of one's character. This growth is reflected in our students' success both inside and outside the dojo. While we take pride in the quality of our training, we value the exceptional character of our members above all. We are more than a dojo - we are a martial arts family.
Kobudo
Kobudo translates as the "ancient martial way of Okinawa". This is the study and mastery of traditional Okinawan weapons. With an intact lineage stretching back hundreds of years, we continue to practice the traditions under the Okinawa Kobudo Doushi Rensei-Kai (OKDR).
Goju Ryu Karate
Goju-Ryu translates as Hard and Soft style. One of only 3 forms of authentic karate styles, Goju-Ryu is a close-in fighting system that specializes in powerful striking, joint locks, grappling, takedowns and throws. The soft techniques in Goju Ryu reveal its roots in Shaolin. Much emphasis is given to breathing and body conditioning.
Competition Team
All members are welcome to join our competitive team. Taking part in provincial and national competitions across Ontario and Quebec, our students have the opportunity to measure themselves against the top competitive teams in the country. We compete in kumite, forms, weapons and Ju-Jitsu application. Competitive members take part in extra training sessions which often accelerates their progression through the ranks.
