Goju Kai Karatedo – IKGA

Confidence

Our dojo environment offers a safe space for individuals to train amongst like minded people. Many see martial arts as a way to exercise individually, while in a group environment. Everyone learns and develops at their own pace. Through regular and consistent training, you can gain control of your own body movements, reaction / response behaviour and in turn confidence. The dojo community celebrates with you in your successes and supports and encourages through your learnings.

Discipline

As you progress through your martial arts journey you will train more than just the body, to incorporate mind and spirit. This holistic view requires and develops self-discipline. Commencing with the hardest step of all… committing to regular training – your karate journey instils consistency and familiarity with body movements . As you advance, you will discover and expand your understanding of how to incorporate and command energy flows/alignment and mental focus into the projection and execution of even the most basic movements.

Self-defence

Fundamental to any Martial Arts is the ability to use techniques to protect and defend. Our style focuses on circular movements to evade and re-direct attacks, which provides children, women and men the ability to apply effective technique (over brut strength) to defend. We provide guidance for dealing with grabs, arm locks and other unprovoked attacks to provide simple but effective methods to safely remove yourself from the situation. For those interested in sports / competitive kumite (fighting), our style has effective attack and defence techniques for close range, mid and long range techniques.
