Alberta KDS - Karate-do Shotokai

The Alberta KDS – Karate-do Shotokai Club in Barnwell is a dedicated martial arts club that follows the teachings of Master Mitsusuke Harada. Founded in 1965, the KDS focuses on the true essence of Karate-do, without the influence of political wranglings from other martial arts groups.

Karate is a form of self-defence that emphasizes using your body's movements rather than weapons. Training in Karate improves fitness, flexibility, concentration, and dexterity. Master Harada, awarded a 5th Dan by the founder of modern Karate-do, Gichin Funakoshi, maintains a commitment to the practice and teachings of Karate at its core.

The Alberta KDS club is open to anyone with a genuine interest in learning Karate-do. The organization is non-profit, with all funds being reinvested for the betterment of its members. Training at Alberta KDS is not only enriching but also enjoyable, as members work towards achieving their personal goals in martial arts.
