Welcome to the Toshikai Dojo - "The Association of the Fighting Spirit". The name is meant to evoke the inner warrior. Training in karate and attaining a black belt takes perseverance. Many obstacles - physical and mental, as well as issues from personal life - must be overcome. During training at the Toshikai Dojo, let your "fighting spirit" give you the strength and determination to attain your goals both inside and outside of karate.

We are a small private Isshinryu Karate Club in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The class sizes are small, and the instruction is personal. Whether your goal is to progress towards a black belt, to compete, to defend yourself, or simply to achieve and maintain flexibility, self-confidence and physical fitness, we can help you.

The chief instructor is Sensei Tim Leonard, a fifth dan black belt and the 2006 American Okinawan Karate Association Grand Champion for Kumite (sparring). Assisting him is Sensei Shane Hale, third dan black belt.
