Barrie Karate was founded in 1997 by Sensei Dan McDougall. Barrie Karate continues to provide solid traditional martial arts instruction to children and adults of all ages. We offer lessons in Okinawan Goju-ryu. What makes us different is our unique way of interacting with students so that they grow and develop to their full potential, no matter what their age or ability. Our instructors are highly trained and effective at developing trust and rapport, and the result is an environment that students want to be in.
My kids love this place. As a parent watching believe it or not I am also learning!! Discipline, focusing, learning with others and how to treat people all in one. Great place to be and watch your kids grow!! Love it and the kids love it as well. Did I say love it already.

My son has been to another school but nothing compares to the warm welcome we received from Barrie Karate. My son loves going and is excited to teach his sibling what he learned that day. A wonderful school we are now a part of.
