Okuden Karate Jutsu

At Okuden Karate Jutsu, we're dedicated to providing a comprehensive and practical approach to self-defense and martial arts training. Since 1996, our expert instructors have been guiding students of all ages and skill levels in the art of Karate Jutsu, a traditional Japanese martial art that emphasizes courtesy, perseverance, ethical conduct, and loyalty.

Our Philosophy

Our approach to martial arts training is focused on developing functional spontaneity and self-defense skills that can be applied in real-life situations. We believe that martial arts training should be a holistic experience that improves not only physical health but also mental and spiritual well-being. Our instructors are committed to creating a respectful and cooperative learning environment that fosters mutual respect, discipline, and personal growth.

Training Methods and Intentions

Our training methods are designed to equip students with the skills and confidence to defend themselves in a variety of situations. We focus on bunkai jutsu, the self-defense templates embedded in kata, and teach both Gendai (modern) and Koryu (classical) versions of kata common to Wado Ryu, Chito Ryu, and other Karate systems. Our classes feature partner and solo drills that are easily modified to suit an individual's skill and strength, and our flexible and personalized instruction encourages learners to progress at their own pace.

Our Instructors

Our instructors are highly experienced and certified in various martial arts disciplines, including Karate Do, Karate Jutsu, Wado Ryu, Chito Ryu, and Kenpo Jutsu. They are committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment that fosters growth, discipline, and personal development.

Class Schedule

We offer classes at the McNabb Community Centre in Ottawa, as well as online and outdoor classes by invitation. Our classes feature a combination of meditation, flexibility exercises, strength-building drills, and self-defense techniques tailored to each individual's needs.
