This Karate course will be focused on teaching the style of 'kyokushin karate'. This style is a mixture of all the karate styles put together. This particular course will fast track children to learn all the basic strikes, kicks, blocks and stances that typical karate practitioners would use. Bonus, all the terms will be taught in English and their traditional Japanese, so kids will be learning some words in a new language all while developing some useful skills as well as discipline, focus and learning to give maximum effort! The classes will be structured with a warm up, some basic stretches and then get right into the material for that day. The classes will be taught in a fun-filled but also disciplined way. My teaching style focuses on effort given. I do not look at talent but comment on it. What I wish to see is kids having fun while giving the best effort they can. I want them leaving the class feeling that they have learned something while developing grit. All children can interact with me as much as they need to in class and also I will be available for questions when class ends for a few minutes if needed. I want them to feel as though they can ask questions and no question is considered silly. Most interactions will be made via video call through zoom. There is no prior experience required for this course. Depending on the success of these classes, I will have future camps set up for continued learners so that we can progress to the more advanced techniques and skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Everyone my name is Sasha
- I am a double major graduate of International studies and Canadian politics with focus on security and conflict resolutions. I am still participating in my community and working my way up towards diplomatic affairs work for the federal government.
- I speak four languages : english, french, Japanese and Farsi (persian/iranian), I may soon even offer a beginners japanese course.
- I am currently a black belt first degree in kyokushin karate and part of team Canada for the world tournament, I have placed in the top 8 kumite tournament two years in a row.
- I am currently Canadian and North American amateur Muai Thai kickboxing champion at 160lbs
- I run a self defence studio that focuses empowering people who have been through abuse and trauma, arming them with real confidence and life skills to get them back on their feet. The program has now expanded to teach different areas of self defence including karate to kids and female only classes. It is called modern warrior academy of self defence
My approach to teaching is simple, the instructor needs to be able to explain the same thing in multiple ways in order for students to understand the material. My job is to get them excited, eager to learn but also instill character traits such as perseverance, grit and discipline. These three things are traits that students can carry with them to other aspects of their lives regardless of their interest. As an instructor, I am always humbled by the things I learn from my students as well. So if there is one piece of advice I would give to anyone: always have a students heart.
