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