The annual Peterborough End of Term / Post Grading semi-formal dinner and celebration will be held the night of the Ontario senior grading. Members from all Jitsu Canada clubs and their guests are welcome to attend.

The dinner will be held at Hot Belly Mama's - drinks at 8pm, dinner at 8.30pm. Olde Stone beer on tap! Cost for dinner is $30 per person; this includes appetizer, entree, dessert, taxes and gratuity. Beverages extra! Under 19 of age welcome but no alcohol.

Congratulations to the following Peterborough and Toronto students on their recent grading.

The Junior class has changed schedule. It is now Fridays 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM.

There will also be a free practice session for adults 8:00PM - 10:00PM - there will be no formal class. This is a chance for you to come to the dojo and train on anything specific you may wish to improve. Senior grades will be there to answer questions.

Senior grades, this is a chance to work with other senior grades on material that is not always covered in class.

Welcome to Jitsu Ottawa. We offer instruction in the art of Shorinji Kan Jiu Jitsu. There are currently two clubs in the Ottawa area, one at Carleton University and the other in downtown Ottawa on Gladstone Ave. The Carleton club is open to all adults (not just Carleton students), while the Gladstone club has both adult and children classes.

The clubs are registered members of Jitsu Canada, the governing body for Shorinji Kan Jiu Jitsu in Canada, which is affiliated with The Jitsu Foundation and the Canadian Jiu Jitsu Council. The clubs are committed to providing high quality and enjoyable instruction to all members of the community.

The club members in the Ottawa region are:

General

The Gladstone Shorinji Kan Jiu Jitsu dojo is located in downtown Ottawa and has classes 3 times per week. The club instructors are Kieran Parsons, Nidan, Chris Whynot, 1st kyu and by Yoshie Martinez, 1st kyu.

There are adult and junior's classes. The junior class is open to anyone from the ages 8 to 16. It approximately follows the adult syllabus but is adapted to an appropriate level for the age range. Our Juniors learn an appropriate level of defence against armed and unarmed opponents, striking, and falling techniques, in a controlled environment. Since bodies at this age are still developing, certain techniques, such as locks, are performed to position only, to protect growing bones and joints.
