Deep River Karate Club

The Deep River club has been in operation since 1977 and is a member of the Shito-Ryu Itosu-Kai Karate & Kobudo Association, Canada.  Karate is a Japanese form of martial arts that originated in Okinawa hundreds of years ago and was derived from several different martial arts learned as a result of trade with China. Karate evolved into three distinct styles from which most present-day karate styles are derived--one of which is Shito-Ryu which combines both so-called ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ styles.  We teach both self-defense and competitive karate in a safe and fun environment, learning and performing basic blocks, kicks and strikes until they become reactive movements. Superior physical fitness is achieved through cardiovascular exercises, flexibility and strength development. We are strictly a non-profit organization; all instructors are volunteers who, after practicing for a number of years, became qualified for teaching.
