Trying to run the Dojo for these last 16 months has been a challenge. However, we're still here, running Zoom classes all this time for our existing members, unable to take any new members since the beginning of the pandemic. Brad Jones Karate Do is a traditional JKA Shotokan Karate dojo. We have one of the best martial arts training facilities in the world and have been selected as one of the Top 500 Martial Arts Schools in North America.
In addition to JKA Shotokan Karate Training we also offer Aikido, Fitness Kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu, T'ai Chi, Kendo, Kali and Zen Meditation classes.

The Dojo
Report
Brad Jones Karate Do is a traditional Japan Karate Association (JKA) dojo located in the heart of downtown Newmarket. We have 4 Senseis and 8 Sempai (senior instructor 3rd dan or higher) and several 1st and 2nd degree instructors. All instructors are certified through the National Coaching Certificate Program (NCCP).
Dojo Facilities
Report
Our 8000 square foot Japanese themed dojo and training facility supports the training requirements necessary to produce provincial, national and international champions. The main Dojo faces the west wall, representing respect, which is one of the fundamental principles in Japanese martial arts. The floor, floating hardwood, was built using two distinctly different kinds (and colours) of wood.
Instructors
Report
Sensei Jones, a 6th dan black belt, is the technical director of the dojo. We have three other senseis, Sensei George Taylor, Sensei Leo Cossetto and Sensei Jon Juffs, who are each 5th dan black belts who have each been training for 40+ years. In our dojo, to earn the title of sempai the member must be a 3rd degree black belt or higher and a teacher.
Adult Classes
Report
If you are tired of the gym environment and are interested in challenging yourself both physically and mentally, karate training may be perfect for you. As a result, we have a large, dynamic group of people training whose ages range from their teens to their mid sixties. This creates a comfortable training environment for adults who are looking for the benefits offered through the martials arts.
Juniors 8-13
Report
Martial arts for juniors is great for building confidence, increasing attention levels and physical fitness. We offer a safe environment that challenges our children while teaching respect and courtesy. The traditional nature of our dojo helps children find inner focus and increased concentration abilities, which often improves results at school.
