Sensei Kirk's Team also offers specialized strengthening and conditioning classes to amateurs and professional athletes. Increase your reflexes, flexibility, speed and stamina. I became interested in Karate when I passed by the Douvris Martial Arts booth at the Ottawa Exhibition in 1987 and signed up for their introductory course.
The Martial Artists that impressed me were Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. I have always enjoyed teaching Karate and when the opportunity came up to run my own school, I acted quickly and have been living my dream for the past twelve years. I have been told that not only am I running a Martial Arts School, it is also a Community Centre as many Alymerites have been introduced here.
