ABOUT ME

CompetPic2022-2.jpg

Based in Toronto Canada, Sensei Alpha is a Karate-ka (practitioner), bilingual in French and English, and is a Japanese-Okinawan Sandan registered black belt. He practiced and researched Karate for over 35 years, started in 1987 in Lyon (France) where he practiced Shotokan Karate in the F.F.K.A.M.A under Sensei Francois Walter (France licensed instructor). After moving to Paris and practicing at several Dojos, he then moved to Canada, where he got introduced to Kobudo under Sensei Cezar Borkowski (Hachidan). He then practiced at several Dojos, and also got introduced to the Goju-Ryu style. He then went on to practicing Shito-Ryu traditional Japanese-Okinawan Karate and Kobudo. The Shito-Ryu Dojo Alpha currently attends to, is run by Shihan Kei Tsumura (Kudan), and his son, Sensei Daniel Tsumura (Rokkudan). Other Karate instructors also include Sensei Hiroshi Maeda (Nanadan). Their Karate lineage goes back to Okinawan famous O Sensei Mabuni, straight through Soke Sadaaki Sakagami (Kudan) and his father O Sensei Ryusho Sakagami (JÅ«dan), who was one of  O Sensei Mabuni's best student. Their Kobudo lineage goes back to O Sensei Taira Shinken, who used to live in O Sensei Ryusho Sakagami's dojo. Sensei Alpha developed a unique understanding of Karate through his many years of practice of different Karate styles, and he is available to work with you to achieve your Karate goals. On June 2023, Sensei Alpha was the recipient of the "Canadian Outstanding Coach" award.

WHAT WE DO

WHAT WE DO

It is not always possible to learn what you need to learn at a specific point in your progression, while only practicing in a Dojo class set up with mixed level participants. Therefore, Sensei Alpha designs personalized Karate boosting trainings, complementing everyday Dojo training, which can boost a beginner or senior Karate-ka's Karate, to the next level.

We do not have a regular Dojo (Unmanned bookable studio only). Beyond our Karate private lessons, we periodically organize public special classes (Online via zoom or in-person) with Sensei Alpha, or guest instructors. Each special class is focused on developing a predefined Karate skill. 

All private Karate lessons and classes, are open to all level, (Minimum age: 6), and must be prepaid. Please browse all our Karate individual services, including our special classes, private lesson package deals, and special offers.

 

​​​We also organize private Karate technical seminars for your group/ Dojo, and workshop/day camp for your school board. If you would like to book such event for your group, please visit our Seminar page.

​

​Take some time to browse our self-defense oriented Karate blog for all styles: Tips, Guides, and perspective on being the best Karateka, instructor, or coach you can be.

Every serious Karate Dojo has a "private lesson" program available to their students. If you are running a Dojo, and lake the resources or time to run private Karate lessons, we can help you set up and run a private lesson program for your students. Contact us for further details.

private LESSONS

Private lessons

Karate is by far one of the most misunderstood Martial art. It has evolved from an efficient multi-opponent self defense system to a single-opponent sport oriented discipline. While sport oriented Karate has been widely adopted by Dojos of all styles, this type of controlled sparring is a small part of the training you need to make your Karate self-defense practical. Whether you just started with Karate, and looking to improve through private lessons, or whether you have been practicing Karate for many years, you can benefit from private Karate lessons. Our “KarateBoost” coaching and pragmatic private Karate lessons are perfect for Karate-ka (practitioners) already enrolled in a weekly Dojo practice. It is not always possible to learn what you need to learn at a specific point in your progression, while only practicing in a Dojo class set up with mixed level participants. Our private lessons will contribute to boosting your training towards unleashing the full power of Karate. Our local lessons are mainly face to face, but online Karate lessons via zoom are also very effective for students from distant locations.

​

Private lessons are available under the following formats: In-person at client's place (Toronto G.T.A), in-person at our unmanned studio (Toronto junction @ Dundas st W and Jane st), and worldwide via zoom.

Browse our service rates page to find out about all our individual services, including private lesson package deals, and special offers.

Lesson gift cards also available.

​

We use Karate Japanese terminology in all our “Japanese / English” and “Japanese / French" private lessons.

Our private lessons will enhance practice in Dojos of most Karate styles. We will assist you in setting up a personal action plan to take your Karate to the next level. Karate lessons can also include:

              

- Footwork / 360 degrees self defense

- Power and precision

- Body coordination

- Breathing

- Speed

- Reflexes

- Focus

- Technique

- Kata

- Makiwara / Heavy bag exercises

- And much more…

Beginners / Kyu belts:

Let us boost your Karate with regular private lessons in addition to your Dojo practice. We will design a customised lesson plan to address any of your weaknesses and turn them into your best skills, allowing you to consolidate a core set of skills that will be very useful later in your Karate progression.

 

Black Belts / Long time Karate-ka:

You have practiced diligently for many years, but still feel like you have not reached your full potential. We can boost your Karate by using all your core skills and take your Karate to the next level.
