Karate class - Junha

I wanted to do some research about Judo, so I went to North York YMCA. It was located near the Baywiew Station. I heard there was Judo class last year, so I had a plan to learn Judo in YMCA. Anyway although on Saturday, there were many class, but I couldn't find Judo class. The receptionist said there weren't any Judo class anymore. I had to change my topic. At that time, there was a Karate class, I chose Karate class.
