    I recommend Japan Karate Do for these reasons: 1. Sensei's and Senpai's will teach proper traditional techniques. 2. Their Facebook page is filled with amazing quotes to help you learn the deeper meaning of Karate. 3. This Karate class will teach you how to be a more humble, disciplined, and overall better person. These are the reasons why I believe this Karate class is different from the rest! If you are looking for a class to enroll in this is the right class to join.

    Dojo is the place my kids are looking forward to go to every Saturday. We are very happy with our choice. They learn not only karate but most important life skills they need and will need every day of their lives. The group is awesome, it is like a family. They all take care of one another and help out. Sensei is a very skillful and experienced instructor. Fees are reasonable as compared to other places, also the quality of the instruction is outstanding. I highly recommend this place for everyone who is keen to succeed.

    My son has been a student at this Dojo for 20 years. It has taught him many life skills as well as Martial Arts. It is not just a karate school, but a family. The addition of online classes including workouts and meditation, during lockdown has kept the momentum going and moral high

    My kids are so motivated to go to this class for over 10 years now. Very skilled instructor with a very reasonable fee compare to a lot of other karate facilities. Instructor who is genuinely for his students, he teach kids discipline and meditation that is very impressive.

    My kids attend this Dojo and they love it. Sensei Wijeiwardana is really good with children. He make the class very fun, interactive and engaging for all the kids. He has a very keen interest in helping the kids build self esteem and learn self defense. He is keen on technique and proper form, and the application of the Kenseikan principles to your everyday life. Be aware that the classes are weekly, and run for 3 hours - this works well for our family's schedule.

    Kenseikan Canada has been a staple in the Scarborough Martial Arts community for over 30 years offering authentic and traditional Japanese Karate-do, fitness, meditation, & life skills. They have made Martial Arts accessible to all ages, backgrounds, and abilities by building on the pillars of honesty, respect, and gratitude. When you join you become more than just a student, you become a member of the Kenseikan family and the global family of Karate practitioners.

    I enrolled my son in 'Japan Karate Do Kenseikan Canada' not too long ago and I can already see how significantly my son has developed self-discipline and respect. He now looks more confident and focused in everything he does. Thank you Sensei Wiijeiwardana and his dedicated team for instilling great physical and mental skills. I strongly recommend this Dojo to family, friends and everyone!

    My kid attend this dojo and i couldn't be happier. The Sensei is so attentive and caring for all his students. He truly has their best interests at heart. He take the time to provide additional online sessions of meditation, and fitness class for any of the students that can attend. I can confidently say that i know my child is in 'good hands' with him. One of the best things about having for child joining this dojo- communication with the sensei. He always communicate any concerns about your child and also responds to you in a timely manner. If you have had your child in other program- you would know this makes such a huge difference, you dont have to go inquire and always ask how your child is doing. The proactive approach is so great and very mucb appreciated. The fee you're paying doesnt come close to covering all that you and your child is recieving at this dojo. Looking forward to having my child at his dojo for a very Long time!

    My son has been going to the DOJO for nearly three years. I have to admit, It was one of the top choices we made. He is acquiring all the necessary knowledge and Skill for a child of his age. Sansai possesses great wisdom and extensive experience.

    If you're looking for a great karate teacher look no further! They also offer a Friday evening yoga/ stretching/ meditation with your karate classes! I am beyond happy we chose Kenseikan. Our child has grown and learned so much from Sensei and our child continues to grow every week! 💙

    The Kenseikan experience is nothing less than extraordinary. Not only is the Sensei one that teaches 'true' Karate from the roots of Japan/India, he is one that will strive to deliver what can only be referred to as the 'truth' when it comes to all aspects of life.

    I have been practicing martial arts at Kenseikan Canada for more than nine years and my experience has been nothing but amazing. Sensei Nandana Wijewardana is a devoted instructor who concentrates on the physical and mental growth of all his students. This class teaches both self-defence techniques and skills that can be applied to various aspects of life. Another amazing thing about this dojo is the Kenseikan community, which is filled with kind and supportive people. I highly recommend joining this excellent class.
