Laurentian Karate Club

Teaching Goju Ryu Karate-do


The Laurentian Karate Club has been active on campus since 1994 exposing the Laurentian University Community and the City of Greater Sudbury to traditional Goju Ryu Karatedo.  The club has approximately 30 current members and countless students have had the opportunity to train with us in the past.  In its short history, the club has competed successfully in many tournaments, produced Provincial Champions, numerous Interuniversity Champions, and has sent representatives to several National Championships as well as three World Championships.

Through a well developed curriculum, the club offers a safe, social setting for the exchange of ideas and development of skills.  The club has hosted self-defence courses, volunteered for demonstrations, and many members are involved in the campus Walkhome and other programs. The club has also hosted numerous provincial, national, and international seminars.

The Laurentian Karate Club is a non-profit club and all instruction is done on a volunteer basis.  Instructors are recognized internationally and carry certifications from the NCCP, The National Karate Association of Canada, The Seiwa Kai, and the Ontario College of Teachers (to name a few).  The instructors are also certified in First Aid and CPR and adhere to high standards of coaching and pedagogy.

Club members are primarily students, faculty, and staff of Laurentian University.  Members of the general public are also welcome through our affiliation with the Department of Active Living. The Laurentian Karate Club accepts members 16 and over.
