Tsuri-komi Goshi throw

Our Logo

Our Logo- our Logo was designed by Patrick Barton in 1988 when we opened the dojo. The throw is Tsuri-komi Goshi and was not chosen for any particular reason, other than to show at a glance that we were not just another Karate dojo - we wanted the layman to understand at a glance a little of what we do. Bu-Jitsu or Bu-Jutsu best describes our dojo as we are traditional but our emphasis is on martial techniques that will work -not on sport. We added the Maple leaf because we are proud Canadians !
