The Rockwood Karate Club was established in Rockwood during November of 2002. We have since been providing weekly classes to adults, youth and children in the ancient art of Japanese Karate-Do.

Training at the RKC takes place in a friendly environment, at the rate of each individual student. Over time, students develop rapid physical reflexes, co-ordination, focus and timing as well as high levels of fitness through the following of traditional Japanese principles.

The on-site Instructor Donna Haskett is a retired Massage Therapist with over 19 years of experience in traditional Shotokan style Karate training. Donna is
a certified Karate instructor with 15 years of teaching experience, and is also an internationally recognized third degree black belt.

The Rockwood Karate Club is a recognized member in the following organizations: Japan Karate Association, World Traditional Karate Organization and Karate Ontario. Aside from regular class; annual camps, tournaments, seminars, grading and parties take place at the RKC.
