Welcome to Tanren Karate
What We Do
At Tanren Karate, our focus is on exploring and practicing the approved curriculum of the World Chito-Ryu Karate-Do Federation, which challenges people of all ages and abilities both physically and mentally.
We place a great value on respect, discipline, personal development, working hard and having fun.
Who We Are
Tanren Karate's legacy extends back to 1968 when Sensei Bill Sorantos founded Willowdale Karate, which would later evolve into Richmond Hill Karate under the leadership of Sensei Romualdo Ferri. The COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of Richmond Hill Karate in 2020, and in 2022 Tanren Karate was founded.
