Karate at Killarney is a member of the Ohtsuka Amateur Karate Foundation (AKF). Formerly Griesbach AKF, this non-profit dojo has operated in north Edmonton for over 25 years. The karate program is designed for all ages and no previous martial arts experience is required. Each class starts with an age-specific workout followed by a technical component, providing physical, mental, and leadership development in a safe, respectful and fun class environment. Our Black Belt instructors are volunteers with significant martial arts experience to share, who enjoy working with students of all ages.

All Senseis at Karate at Killarney have completed a Vulnerable Sector Police Information Check (Edmonton Police) with No Information to Disclose.

An instructor with Emergency First Aid certification or equivalent is on the floor with the students at all times.
