Renshikan Karate is a Canadian organization that focuses on learning traditional Japanese Shito Ryu karate. In addition to Shito Ryu karate, we also study iaido and Okinawan kobudo (traditional weapons such as the bo, joh, hanbo, tonfa, and more).
The Alberta Renshikan Karate Association was formed in 1997 to promote and support the study of Renshikan Karate in the province of Alberta. The Association is incorporated as a non-profit society.
