The CZWKA Welcomes new clubs

Canada Zenkuren Wado Kai Association (CZWKA), is sanctioned by the Japan Karatedo Federation (JKF) Wado  Kai to oversee the practice of JKF Wado-Kai karate in Canada.  We welcome new member clubs, and have developed financial resources to help you to create a Wado Kai Dojo recognized by JKF Wado Kai.

Whether you are an existing Wado Ryu karate practitioner wishing to branch out and establish a new club in your neighborhood, or an existing karate practitioner wishing to switch to the JKF  vision of Wado Ryu karate, the CZWKA welcomes you.
