THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE

  • If you want to raise confident, respectful, honest, hard working, disciplined and happy children, then this is the place to start. Both my son and daughter have been members of NKS Ajax for over 6 years and have loved it.

  • Transformation of My Child

    We have been proud members of Northern Karate School Ajax for the past three years, and the transformation in my child has been nothing short of remarkable. The Senseis at this dojo are not only masters of martial arts but also incredible mentors who instill discipline, resilience, and confidence in their students.
    Since joining, my child has developed an unwavering sense of focus and inner strength.

    Her posture has improved dramatically, reflecting the confidence and determination she has gained through rigorous training. The structured lessons have helped her cultivate discipline that extends far beyond the dojo—shaping her approach to challenges in everyday life.

    The dedication and supportive environment at Northern Karate School Ajax make it a standout institution for anyone seeking more than just martial arts training. It’s a place where children grow into strong, focused, and confident individuals. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for a program that builds both skill and character!

  • My 7 year old son (blue belt) has been a part of The Northern Karate family since the beginning of last year. We are extremely proud of how far he has come in such a short amount of time and all credit goes to the dedicated, encouraging, and knowledgeable staff at NKS who have instilled in him various qualities such as discipline, confidence, and independence.

  • What can I say! This has been the best most positive experience for both my son and myself. He’s so different from when he started and he’s had the best senseis that taught him how to be confident strong and most importantly, stick to something to achieve greatness in it.

  • My Child's Growth on a Personal Level

    I am more than thrilled to share that my 10-year-old son has just passed his black belt test and is now on his way to achieving Black Belt Excellence! It’s been an incredible five-year journey since he first joined Northern Karate in Ajax, and I couldn’t be prouder of how far he’s come.

    Through this experience, he has not only built strong physical strength but also grown so much on a personal level. The dedication and passion of ALL the Senseis - sensei Robert, Georgia, Roxanne, Anthony, Timothy, Michael Levi, and many more are truly appreciated. They consistently inspire their students to push beyond their limits and accept every challenge with confidence. This helps my son do well academically.

    My son could not have reached this milestone without the support, guidance, and care from the amazing team at Northern Karate. He continues to train and develop more advanced skills, and now also gives back by volunteering at the dojo.
    Thank you, Northern Karate Ajax, for not only teaching strong karate skills but also helping my son grow into confident and respectful person.
