(BC Sport Karate Snaps)

Are you ready to kick your butt into gear this fall?

Thankfully, Victoria’s Varsity Performance Karate can help with exactly that.

Not only do they offer world-class training taught by expert coaches, they have a brand new 4500 square foot facility conveniently located near Uptown Shopping Centre – with plenty of room for physical distancing, one-on-one coaching means that all COVID-19 precautions will be in place.

Varsity Karate prides themselves on three foundational values that together define the word “Performance”:

  • People: They put people first. Through teamwork, leadership and individualized consideration, challenges are met, and goals achieved.

  • Purpose: They train with a sense of purpose and clarity of vision. Through the skillful use of intelligent planning and focused attention, energy is focused on clearly defined personal and team objectives.

  • Passion: They are passionate and determined to achieve your goals. Through the use of inspired motivation, a sense of purpose and commitment to shared and individual goals is realized.

The karate club focuses on individualized training and performance for all ages and skills levels; from beginners who have never hit the mat before, to seasoned veterans.

Here are some of the classes Varsity offers:

Discover Sport Karate: 

The Discover Sport Karate program is an entry level sport program designed specifically for youth aged 9-13 years old. This skills-based program focuses on the fundamentals of Olympic-style sport karate critical for athletes to move to higher levels but are all too often missed in most karate training programs.

Varsity “Elite” Karate:

Varsity “Elite” is a high-performance sport karate program designed to give you the tools to succeed in the dynamic arena of competitive karate. Athletes training at this level have at least one year of training experience will be competing for spots on the BC Provincial and Canadian National Teams. Registration is by invitation only and open to karate athletes from other clubs, styles and associations.

On top of this, they also offer instruction for tykes 4-6 years old, youth 7-12 years old, teens 13-17 years and adults over 18.
