The Fort McMurray Shotokan Karate Association was formed in 1986, and operates as a non-profit organization in accordance with the Canadian Societes Act.  Our purpose is to remain dedicated to teaching Traditional Shotokan Karate, for those serious about Karate training.  We are a completely volunteer run club.  Our instructors teach because of their dedication to karate.

If you have questions  about Shotokan Karate or training at our club, please visit our Dojo to watch a class, talk to students or instructors, or try a class on us.  We train hard, so be prepared for a demanding disiplined class.  If you wonder why we train hard, with passion, diligence, and perseverence, read the book Outliers - The Story of Success.

Starting January 5, 2009, we are associated with the YMCA and our Dojo (training hall) is the Birchwood School Gym.  The Birchwood School address is 190 Tamarack Way (Thickwood), Fort McMurray, Alberta.  Karate representatives will only be there at class times, so come by about 15 minutes before class.
