Authentic Kyokushin Karate
in Barrie and Mississauga.
Not a fitness class. Not a belt factory. The real thing — taught by a 5th Dan Shihan with 40 years of experience.
​Why Contact Kicks exists
​
Shihan Steve Fogarasi started training Karate in Romania in the 1980s — in a forest clearing, without a uniform, before it was even legal to practice openly. He earned his black belt in 1996 in Hungary under Kancho Shokei Matsui, one of the most respected names in world Kyokushin. He has competed in over 20 full-contact knockdown tournaments across Europe and North America.
He's been teaching in Canada for 16 years now. He started Contact Kicks because he kept seeing the same thing — kids, teens, adults signing up for programs that were more interested in keeping them paying than actually helping them improve.
He wanted to do it differently. The goal here isn't handing out belts — it's helping students actually grow, in karate and in life. And when a belt is earned, it means something: it's recognized through the World Kyokushin Budokai, active in over 40 countries.
No long-term contracts. No pressure. Just real instruction.
​
Training for the whole family
​
Karate is not just for kids who need to burn energy, and it is not just for young men who want to fight. Shihan Steve's wife, Senpai Mici Fogarasi (2nd Dan), trains and teaches here. Their own two children train also in Barrie.
​
When you join this dojo, you are joining a community that takes the art seriously — and takes its students seriously.
Whether you are a parent looking for something that will genuinely challenge and develop your child, a teen ready for a real test of discipline, or an adult who wants to start — or return to — martial arts training, you belong here.
Your first class is free. Come and see for yourself.
​
A fighter trains for a match. A martial artist trains for a lifetime.
— Shihan Steve Fogarasi
Real karate changes more than your fitness.
​
Karate is not only a hobby you practice twice a week and forget about. At its best, it is a compass — something that shapes how you handle pressure at work, how you show up for your family, and how you face the moments in life that don't come with a referee.
​
At Contact Kicks, we teach Kyokushin Karate the way it was meant to be taught — with real standards, real progression, and a community that holds you to both. Students here don't just get fitter. They get harder to rattle.
​
That is what 40 years on the mat looks like when it is passed on correctly.
