Caissie Karate - Guelph, ON
Regular Curriculum
Our curriculum is made up of a base style of Shorinji Ryu Karate with some elements of I.T.F. Tae Kwon Do and Brazilian Jui Jitsu to enhance it. Shorinji Ryu is a modern form of karate that has evolved through the years.
Our regular curriculum is based upon 3 classes a week and therefore three basic elements - Kata, Self Defense and Continuous Sparring. "Kata" is a Japanese term meaning "form". A Kata is a series of movements put together in order to simulate a fight. In this more modern form of Karate, we teach Kata as a tool to learn, practice and get exercise. Each belt has it's own Kata's which need to be learned and presented in order to acquire your next level.
Caissie Karate teaches Self Defense in order to equip all students with the knowledge and ability to defend themselves in unforeseen situations of harm. We learn a variety of techniques to escape from predators as well as submit your opponent in a ground battle. It is important to us to teach proper moves in order to ensure the safety of all our students in any situation. Some techniques include escapes from wrist grabs, shoulder grabs and chokes. We also practice grappling (ground fighting), which we use to incorporate Brazilian Jui Jitsu.
Our continuous sparring classes, gives students the opportunity to learn how to fight and think on their feet. Students do not actually begin Free Sparring until reaching Orange belt. This way they have a background of the techniques and movements as well as concepts of fighting before being put into the ring with an opponent. Safety is our number one concern, and along with the physical aspect of Karate, comes spiritual and psychological guidance. This is available to students 5 years of age and up.
Private Lessons
Private lessons are available by appointment only. A highly qualified instructor will come to your home, or arrange a time at our Dojo for your Private lesson.

Throughout the hour, you are able to request any help or ask any questions of the Sensei, as well as have the opportunity to work on any techniques that may need some strengthening.

Introductory Lessons
We at Caissie Karate know that joining Karate for the first time can be very intimidating. So we derived a system of introductory lessons in order to ease the transition. New students are able to meet with a student teacher for the first time for 15 minutes. In those 15 minutes you will learn the basics you need to start as well as develop a personal bond with a student from the school.
On your next visit, you will spend the first 15 minutes of class with the same designated student teacher, reviewing your basics. You will then proceed to enter the class as a regular student with a brief introduction from the Sensei. For your third class, you will be entered in our regular program.
Caissie Karate believes that making lasting bonds with your peers helps students to achieve their goals. This is why we believe in introducing new students and getting to know them and their goals on a personal level. Please call us for more information.
