25.01.2022 A big welcome to Katie and Tyler to the Ellenbrook Cougars! After doing the Free Trial class with us the previous week, it was great to see that you guys wanted to come back and train with us fulltime instead of a 1 time only session!!! Keep up the loud responses and amazing effort you guys have shown over the last 2 week. Soon you will giving loud Kiais (grrrrrrs for now at the dojo though ) that will scare Sensei Natalie!

Don't let all the hard work you have done to date go to waste, get stuck into it!! Post your photos in the comments. ... Sensei Jacqui

02.01.2022 Life has thrown us a temporary curve ball, but that doesn't mean our health, fitness, self-defence skills or enjoyment of karate has to end. During this peculi...ar period, GKR Karate is bringing the dojo to you. Online classes for all grades and ages, covering all facets of training; and all classes are designed with limited space in mind. There is no reason why your skills and fitness can't continue to improve right now. It just requires a tiny bit of self-discipline on your part to get the ball rolling. And the beauty of self-discipline, is its only difficult for a few minutes, because after this, motivation to keep going kicks in.

02.01.2022 Check this out!

02.01.2022 It was a fun filled night at the dojo on Thursday night! We started with shoulders and knees as a warm up, then into groups where the higher grades did some partner work from Senior Training while the lower grades were able to use the kickshields and focus mitts. Then moved to some Kumite practise. We finished the class with a game of tails where all the students had much fun!!! A big thank you to Jesse and Kaiden who came down to do a free trial class. They definitely enjoyed class with all the hitting that I saw on the kickshields and focus mitts. Also successfully grading to 9th Kyu is Katie and Tyler. You have improved immensely in the last few weeks. Keep up the good work!!!
