Northern Karate Markham

Northern Karate Markham opened its doors in 2004. Our school has quickly grown from a handful of students to Markham's largest and most recognized martial arts organization. 

In early 2020, we moved to our newest and largest location yet. We are now able to offer our students an even larger training area as well as a fully equipped fitness centre.
