About the club

A recreational club serving Long Sault, Ingleside, and the wider Cornwall / Seaway area.

Seaway Karate began in Ingleside in 1993 as the Ingleside Karate Club and was renamed Seaway Karate Club in 2005. Classes focus on self-defence. The Township of South Stormont notes that all instructors hold internationally recognized certification, and that a family plan is available.

Style and affiliation wording TBD: recent gradings and seminars have been with World Kobudo. An older club description also referred to a variation of Chito-Ryu karate plus a practical self-defence system. We will publish the club’s preferred wording once it is confirmed.

Not to be confused with Long Sault Itosu Kai, a separate club that also trains in the township.

Keri King is mentioned in 2026 posts for merchandise and a ladies’ self-defence fundraiser. Role TBD — not listed here as an instructor.
