Dear Karatekas,
The Spring 2024 session started on Friday, April 12 at LSCDN. Please visit
this page for our full schedule.
If you are interested in training with us, or would like to try a
class, please visit the Joining page.
We are a Montreal-based club,
offering JKA Shotokan-style karate classes in the Côte-des-Neiges area
as well as at the downtown campus of Concordia University.
The original Shidokan dojo was formed by Sensei Nakamura in 1973. Many of the
students of the 70's have begun teaching at their own clubs both in
Quebec and elsewhere. François Gélinas continues an early class with many of
Quebec's senpais (senior karate members). Melarie Taylor initiates the
newer generation of students. The Shidokan name is also found in British
Columbia and Japan where it has been promoted by Sensei Sakurai and Don
Sharp.
We are members of the both the national JKA SKD and international Japan
Karate Association organizations, allowing us to take part in many exciting
events both locally and all over the world. We also participate regularly in
the Jeux de Montreal and the Concordia University Annual Karate
Competition.
