GSK KARATE Doubleview CLUB / DOJO – WSKF AUSTRALIA

Who we are.

We are a close-knit group of people at our Doubleview Martial Arts Karate Club that enjoy our karate training and the social interaction of each other, we train hard and have fun too. Our Junior class mainly comprises of primary school kids both girls and boys, the Seniors or Adults class is a mixed bag of mainly High School kids, Uni students and working adults who all train hard and get on very well.

We are a member of the WSKF (The World Shotokan Karate-do Federation Japan) one of the most well known and recognised authentic karate styles which are in over 100 countries worldwide with many benefits.

What we do.

The priority of what we do in each class (during a school term) is get our students to their next belt level as fast as we can so that they can see the results of their own hard training which in turn boosts the student’s confidence.

3 Main areas we cover are

Learning basics (called Kihon) which cover several different types types of punches, blocks and kicks. Then they learn to defend and fight opponents in multiple directions (called Kata or Patterns) and lastly, there is sparring with a friendly club member (called Kumite) to get used to having someone attack you and to learn to counter-attack. This builds confidence and teaches the student to stand up for themselves. Not to mention a whole host of other things you learn as you move up the ranks or belt levels.

Other areas we cover.

The other areas we cover are: Competition fighting, Self defence fighting (street fighting basically) and Traditional Karate fighting. All of these types of sparring have very different approaches and types of training. We also cover stretching, strength training, flexibility and agility training, self-defence training and bullying.

Little Kids Karate.

For little kids karate, the beginnings of all of the above are interlaced into exercises and games that are lots of fun but are hard work at the same time. With Kids Karate, we try to give the little ones a heads start in life with essential things like building core strength, and overall strength, good balance, good co-ordination and flexibility if needed. If you are a parent, you’ll be please to know we work on other things like listing skills, being quiet and patient, making quick decisions, running not walking, being polite, not talking out of turn and not being lazy to name a few.
