After nearly three years of hard work, NCCP workshops, evaluations, and countless evenings and weekends dedicated to coaching education, I’m proud to share that I am now Competition Development Certified! This makes me one of only two karate coaches on PEI with this qualification, and the only female karate coach to hold it. This journey started back in January 2023, and it’s been a long road of growth, learning, and pushing myself to become a better coach for my athletes. This certification reflects a huge commitment, but also the passion I have for helping athletes reach their highest potential. Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way, mentors, fellow coaches, and especially my athletes who motivate me every day. To every female coach and athlete: be so good they can’t ignore you. Be loud. Be heard. Take up space. There is room for you, and your voice matters. Here’s to continuing to raise the standard for karate on PEI.

Karate with Aoife’s Little Ninjas put in an excellent showing yesterday at the Karate PEI Open Tournament, demonstrating skill, confidence, and true karate spirit.
🥇 Team Kata – GOLD A huge congratulations to Oliver, David, and Sam, who delivered a confident and well-synchronised performance to secure 1st place in Team Kata. Their hard work, discipline, and teamwork truly stood out on the tatami. 🥉 Individual Kata – BRONZE Well done to Oliver, who also earned bronze in Individual Kata with a strong, composed, and polished performance. A fantastic achievement! We are incredibly proud of all our Little Ninjas for representing the dojo with respect, effort, and positivity. Keep up the amazing work!
We’ve got two exciting programs coming up this month, perfect for anyone looking to get active, build confidence, and learn something new!
 I’m thrilled to share some exciting news. I have been selected as the Assistant Coach for Karate PEI at the upcoming 2027 Canada Games! This will also mark only the second time karate has been included in the Canada Games. The sport made its debut right here on Prince Edward Island in 2023, making 2027 another exciting milestone for karate in Canada.
I’ll be working alongside Head Coach Collin Affleck, and I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity. Coaching at this level is an honour, and I look forward to sharing my experience and knowledge with the amazing athletes who will represent PEI on the national stage. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. I can’t wait to get started on this journey!  We’re thrilled to announce that our dojo has a brand-new home at 135 Great George Street! After a long search, the dream has become a reality, and we can’t wait to begin this exciting new chapter together.
This new space will give us room to grow, expand our programs, and train in a place we can truly call home. We’ll be sharing the space with other amazing instructors as part of a brand-new studio called Buenos Island. 👉 Important update: We’ll still be keeping classes at West Kent. However, all classes that were previously held in the Judo space will now move to the new dojo and run at the same times:
What’s coming up in our new dojo?
Stay tuned, this is only the beginning! |
