Shoshin Martial Arts Centre provides traditional martial arts instruction with a primary focus on self defense. Our program for children and adults allow everyone to stay in shape and learn a skill set at the same time. Students will be trained in traditional karate. To supplement, we also incorporate jiu jitsu and kobudo and some kali. The goal is provide a well rounded and balanced system that allows students to effectively defend themselves, while preserving each art’s traditions individually. Physical skills are not enough to make it through adversity. Through martial arts, the hope is that students develop a mindset that will provide them with the patience to deal with the challenges of life.
We are more than just a place to train; the dojo is a place that will challenge students physically and mentally while providing a supportive and positive environment. Try a class with us today and take the first step to unlocking your potential!
In addition to technical skills from the Martial Arts, classes will also incorporate exercises geared towards building a stronger body for self defence. In our classes you can expect to see improved cardiovascular health, mobility, balance and overall strength.
Martial Arts training can rehab injuries and improve quality of life, coordination and longevity regardless of age or physical ability. We always find ways to keep things challenging to promote steady and noticeable progress!
The idea of stepping into a martial arts class for the first time or even the idea of having to defend yourself can be very intimidating for some people. More often, students end up joining after a negative experience to regain some sense of confidence.
We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming, nurturing environment without the ego. Our dojo has seen generations of students eager to help the next generation of children and adults achieve their goals. Sensei finds creative ways to add a fun twist to training and enjoys hosting halloween parties, Christmas potlucks and other events to bring students and their families together.
Shoshin also provides team building workshops, seminars and courses. We’ve taught at numerous public, private and secondary schools along with small businesses and large corporations! Self Defence introductions, traditional classes, board breaking, weapons training, lectures… we’ve got you covered! Book us today for your school or workplace

I have been training under Sensei Mohammed for around 13 years now and I couldn’t be anymore grateful for his guidance and teachings throughout my life. He has taught me... read more so much throughout my life and not just about karate but about how to present myself and go about my everyday life. The dojo itself is always a great community and everyone is always open to help out and train with one another. It’s the best place to go and get away from the stresses of your everyday life. There is not a doubt in my mind that this dojo is the best place for young children to learn self defence and discipline, just as I had at a young age.
