Where building character and positive attitudes leads to happy, confident, high-achieving leaders of tomorrow. The Shushinkan dojo is the best dojo I have ever trained in! Sensei Ali is extremely knowledgeable.
He not only teaches the GoJu Ryu technique but also the philosophy as a way of life: respect for others, avoidance of conflict, perseverance, hard work, confidence, acceptance of our mistakes, and doing our best whenever life presents us with challenges.He is very respectful of every student: testing their limits but never crossing the line.

Martial Arts is good, clean fun for kids and a great way to give them a head start in life. At Shushinkan, students learn the benefits of self-discipline, gain confidence, develop coordination, and increase strength and flexibility. Because a structure of respect is built into Martial Arts, children develop the ability to listen, learn, and achieve within a highly regulated environment.
Your child's start in school is a BIG DEAL! We fully understand this and want to help ensure your child has the best possible start in their academic career. Our karate program for preschoolers can help instil the necessary social skills, positive attitude and mindset to get your child off on the right foot.
Cognitively, our schools are doing a great job, and kids are learning skills much earlier than previous generations (just try to help your kids with their Math homework, and you'll see what I mean!). But sadly, kids today are behind physically. Society has become much more reliant on screens and electronic devices, which is contributing to a sedentary lifestyle and much less physical activity for children.
Have you ever started a diet or a new exercise program and say, "This time I'm going to do it!"? Were you excited and all set to get off to a strong start, only to find out that, after a couple months, you were right back to where you started? The good news is it was probably not the program or even your motivation.
Please rate this student, on a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being "needs improvement" and 10 being "outstanding") in the following categories. One of Shushinkan Karate's missions is to team up with parents, teachers, and schools by concentrating on "behaviour, attitude, and effort." One of our goals is to work on your student's behaviour and attitude, developing well-behaved, highly teachable kids, so you can concentrate on and spend more time teaching.

The program at Shushinkan has made a world of difference with my son. Due to covid and the busy lives of our family my son spent way too much time in front of the TV or the computer. His concentration, imagination and motivation to stay active had diminished. He regressed in his behaviour and found it very difficult to listen. He would even throw himself on the floor when he didn't get his way.
The strides my son has made just in the last 2 months has been nothing short of amazing. His teachers are so happy with the changes he is making, he is listening, participating and doing very good both

I can share many positive attributes about this dojo but what sticks out to me and what I valued the most was the consistency and structure during this pandemic. With all the changes and lockdowns that came and went, karate for my kids was a constant that they needed. Whether it be outdoors, online, inside with masks, they made it work and with great effort. Cleanliness and safety is top priority and it's provided my kids with great confidence and something to be proud of themselves for. Highly recommend.

Sensei Ali is really great with his emphasis on mastering each kata property and incrementally you can tell right off the bat that this is a dojo for serious learners of traditional karate and not a "McDojo". Sensei Ali cares deeply about his students and his community. 100% I would recommend to anyone.

Training and teaching at Shushinkan Karate has been immensely influential on my character and personal growth. I joined the dojo family over ten years ago now. I started karate after watching my sister in Sensei Ali’s class at a local community centre and knew instantly it was something I needed to be a part of. Sensei Ali has not only taught me technique, kata, self-defence, etc, but he gave me opportunities and guided me to enhance my skills that transpose into every aspect of my life. Through karate, I learned self-discipline, perseverance and the value of hard work. I developed confidence

Best Karate and even martial arts center in Windsor. Sensei Ali is fantastic! He has great quality in his character and teaching content. You'll quickly notice that he knows what he's teaching. The Dojo is clean, looks awesome, spacious and has good equipment. The members are all respectful and polite. You'll get a long quickly with them. Also, Goju-Ryu karate that is taught here is probably the most useful and practical self-defense training art there is. This Dojo is also accredited by the IOGKF, a world Karate organization. In conclusion; best Sensei and best martial art in one!

My brother and I have been training at Shushinkan for over 10 years now and all throughout my journey one thing has been apparent, this is not just a dojo, it's a family. Along with a hard working mindset and technical skills, I've also learned core values such as Discipline, Respect, Camaraderie, Confidence and Courage. I'm proud to say that Shushinkan Karate has transformed me into the person I am today. For the past 5 years I've had to honour of teaching classes myself and have loved to see the same transformation in other students as well. I'm very thankful to Sensei Ali for teaching me and

My sister and I have been attending Shushinkan karate for about seven years now, and it has become an essential part of our everyday lives. Throughout my years attending this dojo, I have learned so much about the practice and developed many skills that I actively apply to my daily life. Sensai Ali has done a fantastic job guiding his students to become great karate practitioners and has challenged us to push ourselves mentally and physically. My journey at this dojo has built who I am today and has improved my confidence immensely. I started as a student and slowly developed enough skills to become

My son and I have been attending Shushinkan Karate for over 6 years. We’ve made many accomplishments and had some set backs that with help and guidance we defeated. I enjoy how every class is not always the same, how we find a challenge to every class and that we are encouraged to keep practicing even though we may feel we've had enough. Both my son and I have made many new friendships here and love that we treat each other as a family. Thank you Sensei Ali for making this a wonderful experience both of us.

We've been with the Dojo for 8 years now and the standard of teaching has never been less than excellent.
Sensei Ali is patient, full of encouragement and has taught our children the self-confidence so they can excel not only in traditional Japanese karate but also in and out of school.
Highly recommended.
