About Us

Rise Karate is a free community program created to give kids and youth a fun, welcoming place to learn karate without the cost of a regular dojo. Founded by Franz Shijaku, a local Grade 11 student and black belt, our goal is simple: help people build confidence, stay active, and learn discipline in a positive, supportive environment.

Our classes are calm, beginner friendly, and focused on movement, respect, and personal growth. No experience needed. Just show up, try your best, and have fun learning something new.

At Rise Karate, everyone belongs.
