ABOUT SMA KARATE
Founded in 1998, S.M.A. Karate CANADA is proudly owned and operated by Shihan Robert Patry. Our Kingston location serves as the Honbu (headquarters) — the heart of our karate family.
As a traditional martial arts school, we offer two complementary styles of karate designed to build discipline, confidence, and respect in a supportive, community-focused environment. Whether you’re interested in training, teaching, competing, or coaching, we provide opportunities for students of all ages and levels to grow and succeed together.
At S.M.A. Karate CANADA, we believe martial arts is more than just a practice — it’s about building lasting relationships and a strong, welcoming community. Our students and instructors are proudly registered with Karate Ontario, connecting us to the wider provincial martial arts family.
