Sensei Alex Capicio

Sensei Alex started training martial arts when he was 8 years old in his hometown of Red Deer, Alberta. At age 10, he joined Cheney's Karate Studio where he trained for 20 years and developed his passion for marital arts.

 

With 35 years of experience training, competing and instructing, he currently holds his fourth degree black belt in Zen Karate.

​

Sensei Alex values the discipline, determination, respect and mindfulness martial arts taught him, so when he opened Capicio Zen Karate and Kickboxing in Calgary in 2013, it was important for him to spread these benefits to families in the community.

 

Family is the core of Capicio and Sensei Alex strives to make a difference in people's lives through martial arts.
