WHAT WE DO
We teach a practical full contact style of karate that offers many benefits to people of all ages. Classes consist of general fitness, instruction in strikes, blocks and kicks. Combinations of these techniques utilising bags/pads and practical applications in kumite (sparring) and kata.
WHO WE ARE
We are a member of one of the largest martial arts organisations in the world called the International Karate Organisation (IKO) Matsushima in Japan. We are also a member of the Australian Kyokushin Karate Association (AKKA). Kyokushin is internationally referred to as the 'strongest karate'.
WHY CHOOSE US
Approachable, friendly and experienced instruction to benefit fitness, self defence skills, weight loss and toning as well as improved confidence, concentration, attention to detail, patience and co-ordination.
We make karate affordable for individuals and families through our discounted packages and free trial.
JUNIOR WARRIORS
We offer specific tailored classes for children aged 5-12 years and children are welcome to start at any time. The classes run for 60 minutes and have a combination of general exercises, tuition in strikes, blocks and kicks, kata (pre determined pattern of strikes, blocks and stances) non contact kumite (sparring) and skill based games.
Karate has many advantages for children in addition to the obvious benefits of fitness and learning to defend themselves. The classes are well structured and as the Karate syllabus is taught in a fun and engaging way the children increase their concentration, focus and attention to detail in their efforts to constantly improve.
As the children increase their Karate skills and become proficient in non contact sparring then they progress in a controlled way with the introduction of sparring with contact. This separates Kyokushin Karate from many other non contact and sport styles of karate and martial arts.
ADULTS & TEENS CLASSES
We believe it is important to offer classes specifically for adults and teenagers so the delivery and style of the class is more beneficial. Classes are conducted in a fully equipped martial arts facility allowing a variety of approaches to teaching to be made and giving confidence to people as they learn in a safe and friendly environment.
Kyokushin Karate is renowned for it's real world application of skills learned and physical fitness standards attained during the path from beginner to Black Belt. This has earned Kyokushin the international reputation of being the 'Strongest Karate'. A Black Belt is simply a white belt who never gave up.
Classes are always varied to maintain interest and motivation. They will generally consist of aspects of general fitness, practice of striking, blocking and kicking techniques, combinations of these techniques, bag and pad workouts, kata (pre determined series of strikes/blocks and kicks in stances) and kumite (sparring).
Training intensity is controlled depending upon an individuals' ability however the focus is always on improving technique and fitness standards beyond what you would reach if relying on self motivation.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
