Who We Are

We are Tatsu Martial Arts.

Our foundation was built through Canada Goju, the life’s work of Hanshi Bill Hind. Our dojo began in 1996 in Trenton under Sensei Regent St-Onge, who later passed the dojo on to Sensei Andy Whynott in 2011.

In 2025, we made the respectful decision to step forward in a new direction. While honouring where we came from, we knew it was time to bring fresh water to the pond and focus on positive growth for the future. Our path now is to align more closely with Japanese Goju, which has become our focus moving forward.

At Tatsu, we believe karate is for everyone. Our motto is “Earned Not Given,” but respect is the true root of our dojo. We are also Safe Sport trained, helping create a culture where every student can thrive while working to prevent maltreatment.

Respect. Growth. Tradition. Future.
