West Island Karate ® is a martial arts school located in Beaconsfield on the west island of Montreal, Quebec, Canada (also serving Kirkland, Pierrefonds, Pointe-Claire and Dollard-des-Ormeaux). The dojo (school) was founded by Sensei John Kalaidopoulos (4th Dan) in 1997. West Island Karate hosts the Canadian Junior Kyokushin Championships, our annual tournament for juniors which is the premier event of its kind in Canada. We teach Kyokushin Karate the traditional way in a friendly, family-oriented environment with an emphasis on technique, physical fitness, and the building of the mind and spirit.
