Club offer classes to both junior’s (6 – 12 years)
and adults (13 years +). Classes are held at the Base Gym where

the art depends on the one applying it. If the application is
for good purpose, then the art is of great value. One who studies

with a clear mind and conscience can he understand that which
he receives. For more information, contact Sensei Randy Hennick

Dojo is Chartered and insured with the World Kobudo Federation,
the head Sensei is Shihan Robert Kranstz, from Milton ON. His

styles of Kodenkan, Hakko-Ryu, Small Circle Jiu-Jitsu and Goshindo.

of Jiu-Jitsu experience and 20 years of Martial Arts experience;
and is currently ranked at Nidan (2nd degree black belt) in this
style of Jiu-Jitsu.

This Dojo teaches stances, throws, locks, blocks, strikes and
chokes; some weapon defenses and basic weapon uses are taught
to senior belts. Grappling is practiced but is not emphasized
as in Brazilian styles of Jiu-Jitsu. Students can compete, but
it is not a requirement or the main goal of this Dojo. The goals
of this Dojo are to supply a safe and interesting learning environment,
improve fitness, teach practical self-defense, help build self-confidence
and improve character. This is a demanding system so previous
injuries should be assessed before training. Due to the practice
of joint manipulation, there are no classes for people under the

or Thursday at M2 from 6:00 – 8:00 P.M. or call WO Gilles
Turner at extension 2279 or 446-6082 after 5 P.M.
