West Island Karate

description of the school

West Island Kyokushin Karate is a martial arts school located in Beaconsfield on the west island of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The dojo (school) was founded by Sensei John Kalaidopoulos (4th Dan) in 1997. West Island Karate hosts the Matsushima Canadian Championships, our annual Kyokushin Karate tournament for juniors and adults, and one of the premier events of its kind in Canada. We teach Kyokushin Karate the traditional way in a friendly, family-oriented environment with an emphasis on technique, physical fitness and the building of the mind and spirit. While always having fun and being challenged, our students learn much more than a respected martial art and self-defense. They also learn invaluable lessons which can be applied to every aspect of their lives, now and in the future. This is the Kyokushin way.
