Heiwa in Japanese means peace - the heart of our practice.
At Heiwa Karate-Do, we believe regular Karate-Do training builds a healthier body while developing the whole person. Through traditional Gojyu-Ryu Karate-Do, students develop discipline, confidence, patience, respect, resilience, and self-control.
Through consistent practice, you learn to face challenges with greater composure, grow in ability, and carry the principles of the dojo - respect, courtesy, and perseverance - into your daily life and relationships with others.
Strength With Control. Discipline With Purpose. Peace Through Practice.

Heiwa Karate-Do - More Than Karate. A Way of Peace.
Heiwa Karate-Do is a welcoming community in Winnipeg where karate becomes a path for personal growth.
We teach traditional Okinawan Gojyu-Ryu Karate-do in a non-competitive, Christian atmosphere that welcomes all ages. "Heiwa" is Japanese for peace - and that's our focus.
Our training builds healthier bodies and stronger minds, while developing confidence, discipline, respect, self-control, and perseverance. We believe karate is a self-defence art. We don't just teach how to fight; we teach how not to fight.
