Welcome to West Island Karate!
West Island Kyokushin Karate is a martial arts school located in Beaconsfield on the west island of Montreal. The dojo (school) was founded by Sensei John Kalaidopoulos (4th Dan) in 1997. West Island Karate is also the host of the annual Canadian Matsushima Junior Championships, the premier juniors-only karate tournament in Canada. We teach Kyokushin karate the traditional way in a friendly, family-oriented environment with an emphasis on technique, physical fitness and the building of the mind and spirit. While always having fun and being challenged, our students learn much more than a respected martial art and self-defense. They also learn invaluable lessons which can be applied to every aspect of their lives, now and in the future. This is the Kyokushin way.
The West Island Karate website serves several purposes:
-
To convey what the West Island Dojo is all about and to show that we are not just any typical karate dojo...our spirit, knowledge and sense of community set us apart.
-
To act as a bulletin board for our students and their families by announcing
news and upcoming events.
Please note that you can go directly to "News and Events" at any time by clicking on the red Kanku symbol at the bottom of every page of our site.
-
We appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have to help us improve our site, so please feel free to drop us a line.
Thank you for your time and we hope you enjoy your visit. Osu!
