🥋 NEW STRATEGY THIS YEAR! 🥋

We’re working on a little something new at karate this year… teaching the kids that when you work hard, you can earn rewards! 🎯🏆

We’re hoping it helps motivate them to keep showing up, putting in the effort, challenging themselves and, most importantly, having FUN while they learn.

Because let’s be honest… sometimes a little “work hard, earn cool stuff” motivation goes a LONG way! 😂

Will it work?! 🤔🤣

We’re about to find out!

Hard work. Perseverance. Discipline. Rewards.
And maybe just a tiny bit of bribery. 😉🥋

Let’s do this, kids! 👊

We are SO excited to welcome everyone back to West River School of Karate after a wonderful summer break! 🎉

And guess what? We’re still accepting new students!

Just show up at West Royalty School at 6:30 PM, ready to learn, move, laugh and have some fun!

🥋 Been thinking about trying karate? This is the perfect time!

Karate is about so much more than kicks and punches. It helps build:
💪 Confidence
🧠 Discipline
❤️ Respect
🥋 Fitness
🛡️ Self-defence skills

And honestly, with the way the world is today, everyone should have at least some basic self-defence skills. Learning how to protect yourself, be aware of your surroundings, and respond with confidence are valuable skills for everyone.

Come give karate a try - your first week is FREE!

📍 West Royalty School
⏰ 6:30 PM
🥋 We use the gym doors over by the playground side

No pre-registration needed. Just come on out and give it a try!

🥋 What a Great East Coast Ryusei Karate Clinic!

We had a fantastic weekend of training with Sensei Peter Giffen for our Ryusei Karate clinic!

The weekend kicked off Friday evening at our dojo in North Rustico, where we began by reviewing several Ryusei kata that have similarities to Chito-Ryu kata. These kata all share a connection to our roots and ultimately trace back to O’Sensei, giving us a wonderful opportunity to explore the history, techniques, and principles behind our karate.

It was especially great to have members join us from Cheticamp Karate Club and Atlantic Karate Club. Bringing different dojos and karateka together made the weekend even more special and gave everyone a chance to train, learn, and share their passion for karate.

Can you believe it’s August already?! 🥋

Just a reminder that we’re excited to welcome Sensei Giffen to Prince Edward Island on August 14 & 15 for a special Ryusei Karate Training Camp.(adults only)

The foundation of Ryusei Karate-Do incorporates the essence of traditional todi—an open-hand method designed to cultivate inner power (ki)—with the principles of Chito-Ryu, creating a style that honours and continues the lineage of both traditions.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your technique, deepen your understanding of karate, or train with an outstanding instructor, this is a fantastic opportunity you won’t want to miss!

📅 August 14 & 15
📍 Prince Edward Island

Huge THANK YOU to every that supported our Desk Goose fundraiser!

As a pay it forward, we have donated this lovely duo to Garden Home to brighten the day of the residents❤️

We started them off with an outfit each(didn’t want to deliver naked geese 🤣)

If anyone wanted to pop on amazon ( yes, it’s a thing) and buy them a few outfits(7 inch desk goose ones )or make some and drop off for them, I’m sure they’d love to have a wardrobe to change them up..

We do have a few more left to sell if anyone is interested.

🎉 A Huge Congratulations to All of Our junior class!

We want to give a special shout-out to all of the students who advanced to a new belt or stripe level at our year-end grading! 👏🥋

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you for the dedication, perseverance, and hard work you put in to reach your next level.

While earning belts and stripes is a wonderful achievement, what makes us the proudest is watching our students grow in confidence, develop strong character, and learn the value of setting goals and working hard to achieve them.

These accomplishments don't happen overnight…they are earned through commitment, determination, and a positive attitude.

Keep up the amazing work, and remember that every step forward is something to celebrate!

Congratulations to all of our students—we can't wait to see what you achieve next! 💪⭐

See you in September!
