23.01.2022 Hi EKA team Just a reminder that there is no training over the school holidays. Have a great break!

23.01.2022 GREAT WORK RORY! Junior sports coach, Rory Gersbach, has been a volunteer at the Emerald Karate Academy for two years. "I teach the juniors how to do their k...atas [a series of moves] and, for the people who come for their first lesson, I teach them how to make a fist, punch, and their stances," he said. "I enjoy helping the kids so that when they go to their gradings and go through their belts its good to know that youve helped them get to their black belt." The 13-year-old competes in international and local competitions. "I believe its a good sport for people because it shows discipline outside of karate and inside," he said. "I think its important to have volunteers because theres a lot of kids, so you need more hands on deck to help."

23.01.2022 Awesome weekend spent at the training in the tropics!! Congratulations to all our kyu grades on their successful grading today, to Rory and Izik on getting their shodan and Flick and Justin on passing their Nidan.

19.01.2022 Hi EKA, Normal classes tonight, however due to the heat students are welcome to wear tshirt to train in.

19.01.2022 COVID 19 update: Suspension of karate training Dear EKA members, As a result of the new Government Measures to contain the spread of the Covid 19 (Coronavirus), we sadly have to suspend all karate training with immediate effect.... Hope everyone remains safe and well during this time. Regards, EKA

18.01.2022 Update on classes due to the COVID 19 situation: Hey EKA team, At the moment our classes are still going to be as per normal. We just ask that all students wash/sanitize their hands before class and bring their own water bottles. Soap will be provided at the hand basins in the bathrooms . Trainings will be more of a kihon and kata focus rather than partner work such as kumite to limit the amount of contact between students. We also ask that if students are feeling unwell ...or have flu like symptoms to please not come to class. We wish everyone to be safe and healthily during this time and thank you for your understanding. We will keep you updated for possible future changes. On a positive heres a few ways our karate skills can come in handy Kind regards, EKA

Due to the maximum numbers of students allowable on the floor, we will be requiring that parents complete the registrations and pay term fees prior to students takin...g the floor. Starting this Thursday the 16th, there will be a 5pm class (white to purple belts) and 6pm class (red to black belts), this will remain for the duration of the term for both Mondays and Thursdays. We apologise that we have had to suspend the younger class for this term but hope to reimplement in term four pending further health advice.
