Stay tuned for more information about final confirmation on the Guinness World Record and the final total for monies raised...

In the meantime, a great big THANK-YOU to all the people who gave up their time on Saturday to take part in this great event! Much fun was had by all and everybody looked fantastic in their custom “Breaker” T-Shirts. We’ll have some pictures and video posted soon.

Many thanks to our partners SAIT Recreation and Lite 959 (and the Roger’s Radio Group) for their incredible support.And of course, a special thank-you to Calgary Counselling Centre for the great work they are doing to help stomp on domestic violence and supporting us in our fundraising efforts.

Many thanks to our T-Shirt Sponsor Best Cap who did an incredible job designing and producing the Breaker T-Shirts. As well, a heartfelt thanks to Timbertown for their support in the purchase of custom milled breaking boards and supplies necessary for the breaking stands.

Welcome message from:

HONOURED ATHLETIC LEADER        59th SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR...

There are many reasons why you might want to learn Karate. For most, Karate is seen as a journey. For some, the journey is short; maybe their goal is to acquire their Black Belt or to learn some self defense skills. For others, the journey lasts a lifetime and becomes a journey of self-discovery, more than simply the pursuit of a martial art. Regardless of your journey, Karate encourages you to challenge yourself, promotes self discovery, and builds confidence, discipline, dedication, motivation and strength of character.
