Karate isn't just in the dojo.

So proud to be part of the Northern Karate Schools System and knowing that our leader is rightfully being recognized as a living martial arts treasure by his peers. An exceptional teacher and mentor. Congratulation Hanshi Borkowski! Cezar Borkowski

The legacy of Hanshi Borkowski, founder, mentor and the heartbeat of Northern Karate Schools...

Inspiring words from the talented Shihan Jeff of our sister school in High Park.

Yes lockdown again...which means no training in the dojo...but you CAN train at home via our online classes. BONUS: no masks The online calendar has been sent to all members. And members: we invite you to train with family in your household for fitness together. Moms, dads, big brothers, little sisters...anyone in your household can join in your classes with you. Let's call it your karate bubble!

LOST AND FOUND! The dojo is a magical place...kids come with jackets and magically forget them when they leave. DUE TO COVID REGULATIONS WE CAN'T HAVE BELONGINGS LEFT AT THE DOJO. Please claim jackets asap.

Huge congrats to Anushka who received her personalized black belt and certificate! After completing a full year on her probationary black belt. Well done, the best is yet to come

Even teachers advance in rank. Congratulations to Renshi Patrick who is invited to advance to the rank of Shihan!

When your kids say "we did sticks" at karate...it's this...

NKS Scarboro Black Belt recipients Winter 2020 A wonderful grading done by Ciara and Alexa who have received their new rank of Shodan. Truly a great round of advancements today that we’re well deserved. Congratulations!

November schedule - train in dojo (at a distance) or online at home.

Training safely is our priority!

Karate is a journey not the end goal of a belt.

Karate inspires self-confidence in your mind, body and spirit. Great for kids, teens, and adults...

These pictures should be titled "grading together - apart". Congratulations to our students who have earned new belts. Continue your enthusiastic dedication to your Karate training!

October schedule

Lest we forget: the courage which came before us the battles which give us freedom the peace which we must honour

Colour belt exam Thursday evening. No regular classes.

Thursday October 1st : September Colour belt exam

Zoom or in person...keep training!

Attention students...

Sometimes a refresh can spark joy

We are thankful for our community!

Here at NKS Scarboro we train with distance! That doesn't mean lack of energy, lack of learning or lack of fun. It means we have small groups, require space between atudents and use of masks entering and exiting the dojo to ensure everyone stays healthy.

Bring a friend or family member to class!

Stick training today! Good practice for control, coordination and focus.

People may feel overwhelmed with the new back-to-school protocols. Come train! Karate can help relieve stress and increase focus. Move your body and quiet your mind at the same time. This is for adults, kids, and families! Image: Matzu

We have heard so much positive feedback from parents about our small class sizes and social distancing teaching to ensure everyone trains in safety! In addition, we deep clean high touch surfaces, have everyone bring their own water bottles (and take them home) and insist everyone wear masks in and out of the dojo. Karate is about respect. And we respect the health of our community!

Wishing everyone a successful back-to-school. See you in the dojo!

Sept 5: Dojo Closure. Labour Day Weekend - Have a great long weekend everyone!

Our weekly schedule has changed. It's so rewarding to everyone moving up in their belt ranks.
