Tim Leonard started his karate training in Manitoba in 1980. He opened his first karate club in 1985 at the North End YMCA in Winnipeg and then a second club in a Winnipeg community centre.  Since moving to Ottawa in 1993, Tim returned to being a karate student by training with numerous local martial art experts and attending seminars abroad.  In the fall of 1997, Tim opened the Toshikai Dojo of Ottawa which now operates out of the East Wind Budo Life Centre.
