Classes for martial arts beginners contain karate moves as well as self defence. The aim is to make people more confident by learning how to defend themselves and their family and friends in the name of law and order. Beginners can also have fun when learning the various martial arts techniques. They learn the three k's - i.e. kihon (basics), kumite (fighting - not full contact) and kata (forms) which are planned moves against imaginary opponents, like shadow boxing in boxing. In self defence they will partner together and learn one to one self defences, such as defence against knife attacks, holds, etc. Beginners will benefit from careful instruction, given by our top grade black belt instructors, taught in separate classes. We have classes for children and adults and family classes.

Intermediate classes are taught mostly separate from the beginners classes and the duration of training increases from one hour for beginners to one and a half hours. The level of instruction is increased as the level of interest grows.

Advanced martial arts students continue learning skills of shotokan karate and self defence to a higher level. Both children and adults benefit greatly from more advanced martial arts techniques, such as various stances, kokutsu dachi (back stance), kiba-dachi (horse straddle stance), zenkutsu-dachi (basic front stance learned at beginners stage), sochin-dachi, sanchin-dachi, nikoashi-dachi, hachiji-dachi, heisoku-dachi. More advanced tsuki (punching) is undertaken as well as more advanced uchi 
Shotokan karate katas ( where you move individually in different directions blocking, punching and kicking imaginary opponents) which can be practiced by young and old by putting as much or as little into the action. There are twenty-six Shotokan Katas and each one has something different to offer in its own way.

 

SJK Karate specializes in helping people like you develop healthier minds and bodies, and to feel more secure through quality and comprehensive professional karate instruction.  Our Instructors are 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Dan Black belts and we have a resident 6th Dan Black belt. All are highly trained in the martial arts and have the ability to effectively communicate their knowledge and understanding to students of all ages. 
SJK Shotokan Karate programs are designed with you in mind.  We pride ourselves in the complete personal development of each student in addition to improving your personal defence skills.  Classes are beginning every week for adults and juniors age 6 years and above. We have separate "adult" and "junior" classes and "family classes" (where parents can train with their children) Parents are welcome to stay and watch their children training.

Have you done everything you can to prepare your children for school this year? You’ve probably bought the items on the list of supplies, bought some new school clothes and taken them to the school’s open day to meet the teachers and find their ways. There is still one more thing you can do to help you children have a successful year, however. Enrol your children in a School of Japanese Karate martial arts class.

SJK martial arts training is so much more than kicking, screaming and breaking boards. Training in SJK martial arts teaches emotional control, sportsmanship, focus and discipline. As we all know as parents, there are so many influences out there that go against these characteristics we need to do everything we can to teach them to our own children.

Class Structure. When you enrol your children in to a SJK martial arts class, they will enter a disciplined class that will require them to respect their instructor, their fellow students and themselves. The respect demanded at a School of Japanese Karate martial arts training will teach your children to respect their teachers, classmates and even school property even when they are not in their martial arts class because it naturally carries over into other aspects of their lives such as school work, team sports and classroom behaviour. Instructors at the SJK school will teach your children that all people, especially adults, deserve respect. You’ll probably even find your children’s teachers telling you that their classroom demeanour is improving as a result of our training.

Focus. Training at the School of Japanese Karate  is not a mindless activity. To keep themselves safe from injuries, participants need to have complete concentration and focus at all times during training. This ability to concentrate will carry over to other parts of your children’s lives, even school. They will become more aware of their surroundings and will be less likely to “zone out” during the school day. They’ll have improved focus and concentration that will help them during school lessons, while doing homework and even when studying and taking exams.

Confidence. Another characteristic that all children need to succeed in school is confidence. Our classes can help increase your children’s confidence by giving them the knowledge they need to defend themselves not only physically, but mentally as well. They will be strong enough to not become victims of bullying from schoolmates and will have the ability to stay calm in stressful and potentially harmful situations by teaching them how to handle stress without losing their temper or simply becoming flustered.

Stress Reduction. You know that life can be stressful and you probably already know that physical exercise is a great stress reliever. Your children, even in the younger primary grades, may also be experiencing daily stress. It’s no wonder with the rigors of school requiring them to do a many hours of homework each week. Giving them an outlet for physical activity, such as SJK martial arts, can help them reduce their stress levels. While you might just encourage them to join different sports teams throughout the year,SJK martial arts takes stress relief one step further by giving them a well-rounded type of relief. When they are at SJK  martial arts classes, your children will be concentrating on their training, not dwelling on their problems and the things they need to do. They won’t be worrying and stressing out about an upcoming test or about their friends. They will be focusing their mind on something productive (both mentally and physically) and will feel better all-around when they are done with their class.

Preparing your child for a successful school year requires so much more than school shopping and getting them out the door that first day. Help them learn how to help themselves by giving them the tools they need to respect others, focus on school, exude confidence and reduce their stress levels. Enrol them in a School of Japanese Karate class today!

 

* There are so many "cowboys" out there who will charge exorbitant fees to start karate - some may even try to tempt you by offering free gifts.

* There are so many karate clubs - opening and closing in a short period of time, who will leave you stranded.

* There are so many karate clubs - without the qualifications or expertise required to teach and run a club.

* There are so many karate clubs - who teach beginners in the same class as the advanced students without a separate instructor.

* There are so many karate clubs - who don't teach self defence as well as karate.

* There are so many karate clubs - who do not grade their students in their own training venues - and have to travel miles to grade, with total strangers.

* There are so many karate clubs - who charge training fees in advance and not "pay as you go".

* There are so many karate clubs - who do not have a high graded resident "Master" instructor to teach and grade black belt students.

* There are so many karate clubs - who do not allow children to grade to black belt.

* There are so many karate clubs - who do not warm-up or warm-down properly to avoid injury during and after classes.

 * There are so many karate clubs - who do not advise children properly on anti- bullying.

 

We teach THE MARTIAL ART of traditional Japanese Karate which includes kindness and consideration to others giving our students the ability to defend themselves against aggression - never to attack first, always to defend is the spirit of our type of  Martial Art and to serve you well like the ancient Samuri Servants.
