About Synergy Wado Kai Karate
We are a small Karate club in Timmins Ontario, operating under the Martial Arts Promotional and Development Association (MAPDA).
The club is run by a father/son duo (Sensei Moe & Sensei Gaetan Allard), who've been practicing the art together since 2003.
The pair were members of Personal Best Wado Kai, until their instructor (Sensei Jim) moved to London, ON for work. In the spring of 2012, Synergy Wado Kai was formed in order to carry on teaching the students Sensei Jim had to leave behind.
Sensei Gaetan & Sensei Moe continue to incorporate elements of physical fitness with the art of Karate as Sensei Jim started with Personal Best.
Upcoming Schedule
TBA
CLOSED FOR SUMMER
We usually start back up in September, but this year will depend on the COVID-19 situation and the availability of facilities (school or other)
Junior Kids Classes
Every Wednesday
From 6-7PM for students aged 6 & 7 years old.
Students of all ages attend on Wednesday nights.
We start our classes with everyone together, then the different age groups pair off with different instructors to get lessons tailored to them.
Junior kids generally have a shorter attention span, so we don't spend too much time on one topic. Lessons are in shorter bursts to keep their minds interested and engaged.
Senior Kids Classes
Every Wednesday
From 6-8PM for students aged 8-12
Students of all ages attend on Wednesday nights.
Senior Kids usually have a longer attention span than Junior Kids.
Instructors will spend a little more time on a particular topic to help refine techniques, knowledge of terminology and teach patience & discipline.
Families are encouraged to join together. We have special Family rates and are flexible with which class you want to attend.
For example, you may want to only attend Wednesday night with our child and progress with them. Or you may want to attend both nights.
We can work out something that works best for you.
Adult Classes
Every Wednesday & Thursday
From 6-8PM for students aged 12+
Adult students typically advance faster than Junior or Senior kids due to the 2x per week class availability, and the level of instruction is geared for a more mature group of people.
