Here's a map of the area (from Google Maps - click and move to pan the map or use the controls) and some directions for those coming from out of town.

Directions (from Kingston, Peterborough or Toronto)

Take the 417 East to Bronson Ave exit. At traffic lights turn right (south) onto Bronson Ave. Continue to Carleton University (Sunnyside Ave is on the left) and turn right at the traffic lights into the university (University Drive). The road bends to the left. Turn left at the stop sign and park at one of the meters (weekends free, weeknights expensive). The dojo is in the Combatives Room of the Athletics Centre.

Ottawa Community Club

General

The Ottawa Shorinji Kan Jiu Jitsu dojo is located in downtown Ottawa and has classes 3 times per week. The club instructor is Steve White. 

There are adult and junior's classes. The junior class is open to anyone from the ages 8 to 16. It approximately follows the adult syllabus but is adapted to an appropriate level for the age range. Our Juniors learn an appropriate level of defence against armed and unarmed opponents, striking, and falling techniques, in a controlled environment. Since bodies at this age are still developing, certain techniques, such as locks, are performed to position only, to protect growing bones and joints.
