What Our Students and Families Say
“Our kid was hooked on karate after her first trial class. It’s a small
dojo with a lot of heart. Highly recommended for Banff families looking
for a healthy activity that grows with your kid.”Meghan J. Ward
Google review
“I started training at Banff Kyokushin when I was five, and it’s been a
huge part of my life ever since. After moving to Grande Prairie, I
decided to continue my journey toward black belt while starting my own
dojo.”
Mya
Former student and founder of Grande Prairie Kyokushin
“Many of the techniques and fundamentals came easily because of my
Kyokushin training. I excelled in ground defence, strikes and blocks,
and the foundation I developed at Banff Kyokushin continues to benefit
me professionally.”
Dan
Former student and peace officer use-of-force instructor
“Training together has become an important part of our lives, and we
attend as many camps and tournaments as we can. Banff Kyokushin is more
than a place where Leon and I train—it’s a community our whole family
is proud to support.”
