Arnprior School of Karate

A family friendly karate school focused on technique. I love that the sessions are all ages which means I get to share in the experience with my eight year old son. The genuine dedication of all the instructors is inspiring, most members have been there a long time and it's clear there's a community here that I'm happy to be part of.

What a great experience to train at the Arnprior School of Karate! I trained there for 8 years and got my black belt by working hard and persevering under the masterful instruction of Sensei Garth and Sempai France. I will never forget how karate helped to shape me into the person I have become today. Thank you!

What an AMAZING dojo! I have been training at this dojo for over 10 years and have nothing but great things to report. Sensei Garth and Sempai France, a husband and wife team, are all about respect and pass that on to their students. As an educator myself, I can attest to their differentiation of instruction and ability to reach every student. They are extremely respectful in every aspect of their lives and are excellent role models for all who attend their classes. I have attended classes at other dojos but was so impressed with the Arnprior School of Karate that I signed up my whole family. Keep up the fantastic work! I'm loving being on this wonderful journey with you! Osu!

Arnprior School of Karate is an amazing karate school with a heart. Sensei Garth Templeman and Sempai France Guillemette are extremely knowledgeable, and highly dedicated. They run a traditional style dojo, of Shotokan Karate, which holds respect for others, personal discipline, and perfection of character to the highest standards. Something that is very much needed in today's society. I have an injured leg and attend with a moderate amount of pain but I enjoy it so much that I continue to go regardless of my physical limitation. Their patience, kindness and respect, atop of their expertise, keeps me coming back. It's a familiar and warm atmosphere where everyone is welcomed and made to feel like a part of their Karate Family. I highly recommend the Arnprior School of Karate to anyone who is looking to get into the martial arts.

This is a very traditional school of Karate-do. I am a past student. Both Sensei Garth and Sempei France are absolutely dedicated to the betterment of all of their students.
Training is rigorous, so expect to get fit, and expectations are high in character and practice.
Highly recommended! If my physical limitations allowed it, I would be practising with them still.
