The road bends to the left. Turn left at the stop sign and park at one of the meters (weekends free, weeknights expensive). The dojo is in the Combatives Room of the Athletics Centre.

Gladstone

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.
