Why choose the Taneda Karate Dojo?

Sensei Chris Taneda

Karate is a fun and exciting way to develop confidence, self-discipline, awareness, fitness and self-defense. The club promotes physical and mental fitness. Many students enjoy the personal growth aspect taught in this Dojo. We believe the Dojo should be a safe place for people to learn a martial art, which builds self-esteem and promotes respect. Discipline and courtesy are important elements taught at the club.

Sensei Chris Taneda is a 7th Degree Black Belt with the title of Kyoshi. Sensei Taneda was 6 time Canadian National Kumite Champion and 4 time Chito-Ryu World Champion. Sensei Taneda is currently the head coach of the Zone 2 Karate Team and the Zone 2 BC Winter Games Team. He was awarded Karate BC 2005 Coach of the Year. Sensei Taneda was a torch bearer for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
