Founded in 1997 by Sensei Dan McDougall, Barrie Karate has continuously upheld a belief in solid traditional martial arts instruction for children and adults of all ages. No matter your age or ability, our unique approach to interacting with students fosters their growth and development into their full potential. Our highly trained Okinawan Goju-ryu instructors are effective at developing trust and rapport, in an environment that students want to be in.

Barrie Karate hosts a number of programs, including:

  • Lil' Dragons (Ages 4 to 7)
  • Junior Karate (Ages 8 to 12)
  • Teen & Adult Karate (Ages 13+)

Not only do we offer a number of programs tailored to your needs, but once Covid restrictions are lifted we will be happy to host your next birthday party! Leave the planning, decorating, organizing, and cleaning up to us. Sit back, relax, and watch the kids have fun at Barrie Karate. We provide the invitations, decorate the dojo, and provide introductory karate lessons to each of your guests.
