Six years in Barrie. Forty years on the dojo floor.
Barrie's only authentic Kyokushin dojo.
This is a real family dojo. Shihan Steve teaches alongside his wife, Senpai Mici, and their own children train on these same mats. We are not a franchise. We don’t hand out belts on a schedule. We teach traditional Kyokushin the way it was meant to be taught — with real standards and real care.
Every rank earned here is recognized worldwide through the World Kyokushin Budokai.
KIDS KARATE
Kids don’t just learn how to kick and punch here. They learn how to focus, how to keep going when something is hard, and how to earn respect through effort — not just by showing up.
Parents regularly tell us the biggest changes show up at home and at school: better listening, more confidence, and less giving up when things get frustrating.
This is structured, traditional training in a safe and supportive environment. No participation trophies. Real growth.
Family Bonus: When two or more children from the same family enroll, parents train free.
SCHEDULE
Monday and Friday 6PM - 7PM
TEENS & ADULTS KARATE
Whether you’re a complete beginner, returning after years away, or looking for something more serious than a regular gym class — this class is built for real progress.
You’ll train in a focused, respectful environment where ego is left at the door. Expect hard work, practical self-defense skills, better conditioning, and a stronger mind.
No experience required. We meet you at your current level.
SCHEDULE
Monday and Friday 7PM - 8:15PM

The "First Class" FAQ
-
Do I need a uniform (Gi) to start?
"No. For your first trial class, wear comfortable workout clothes — a t-shirt and track pants are fine. If you decide to continue, a free uniform is included with your first month."
-
Is it safe for beginners?
"Yes. Safety and respect come first. Beginners focus on fundamentals and proper movement in a supervised environment. You will be challenged, but never thrown into something you’re not ready for."
-
What if I am not in shape?
"You don’t get in shape to start Kyokushin — you start Kyokushin to get in shape. We work with every student at their current level."
-
Is there an age limit?
"Kids classes start at age 6. Teens and adults train from age 12 with no upper limit. It is never too early to start, and it is never too late."
What People Say
"The instructors focus not only on proper technique and discipline, but also on building confidence, respect, and a positive attitude in every student. My daughter always looks forward to her classes, and we've seen remarkable improvement in her strength, focus, and overall confidence."
— Anju Vida, Parent
"Having the opportunity to train provides those opportunities and has enhanced my mental clarity that extends far beyond the dojo. If you're interested in martial arts but uncertain about Karate — give Kyokushin a try at CKMA and you won't be disappointed."
— Christopher Clayden, Adult Student
