New students are always welcome at the Orillia YMCA Karate program. Classes are highly disciplined, but fun, friendly and supportive. This is a dojo that prides itself on being non-contact. Students are well-trained not to actually hit, or even touch, their opponents while sparring. This makes for a safe environment where participants can learn how to defend themselves without fear of being injured.
The Summer Program session starts June 25th and runs until Aug. 27th. Classes are on Monday evenings from 6:00 - 8:00 pm, and all are welcome to try the first class for free.
