We've moved!
Can’t wait to meet you.
It’s certainly been a topsy-turvy time, hasn’t it? How’s your little one doing after enduring lockdowns and uncertainty? How are you doing? It’s exciting that restrictions are lifting, that we can hug each other again, that we can enjoy a meal together, but it is also totally normal to have some anxiety about what’s ahead. We are entering into a new “normal” and with that, comes ups and downs. Maybe being physically close to people makes you a little nervous now, maybe your child is anxious about playing with other children or even about going to school. You may need some support and we’re here for you. We all need an outlet, and now more so than ever as we return to school, work and life having a place to blow off some steam, share a laugh or even a tear is so important. We’ve always said it takes a village and we would love for you to join ours … our JKS village is simply amazing.
The longest running Martial Arts school in Orangeville
We know that a true martial artist is not born from just learning to kick and punch, but from striving to become a better person in every way of life. Our training is rooted in the Five Black Belt Principles: Honesty, Courtesy, Self-Discipline, Perseverance and a Positive Attitude. These are principles we carry with us into everyday life. Johanis’ Karate School is a goal setting school and the minimum goal is black belt. It is our job to empower our students to achieve their goals. Self-defense is a key component of the Johanis’ Karate School system. We are S.A.F.E. and we C.A.R.E. Our mission is to support our students to remain on a “Quest to be their BEST”.
