15.01.2022 *CHRISTMAS CLASS* Hi all! Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow we have our last class for the year. As usual we are doing a christmas themed karate class with lots of fun, games and food! There will be only one class from 10:30-11:30 followed by food and music afterwards. Feel free to get as festive as you like with christmas costumes. We love to see some crazy outfits, they get bigger and better each year. ... Please bring along some food to share for afterwards so we can have a nibble to celebrate. Because of COVID restrictions, the food will need to be COVID safe and individually served. Here are some links to COVID safe foods you can try. https://fruitsandveggies.org//6-covid-safe-summer-enterta/ https://www.google.com/search https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/273664114845915046/ Look forward to seeing you there!

07.01.2022 Congratulations to Max and Gaylene who won gold and silver in Region 9 tournament today! We are so proud of you both

06.01.2022 Classes recommencing Classes in R23 will be restarting from next Tuesday (December 1st). At this stage we expect all locations to be operating but we will confirm as more information becomes available. Beach Class on December 20th is confirmed!

06.01.2022 To all GKR students, please find a short video from our founder and Chief Instructor, Kancho Robert Sullivan.

06.01.2022 This video is courtesy of GKR Karate Videos - like the page to see new content as soon as it's released! ***** 21 Ways to throw a Jab. ... This video covers the jab in a self-defence situation. We have also made the same video, however for a tournament situation. Instructors often teach one way to Jab, but we must remember in combat, everything we do must be governed by our opponent (their size, their tactics, their skillsets etc). As such, it's not just a matter of switching techniques when something is not working, but also switching strategies WITHIN each technique. One way to jab may work sometimes, but what if your opponent has an impenetrable guard? What if they like to slip? What if they have excellent counter-striking skills? What if, when you jab, they like to drop and tackle you to the ground? What if they they like to move forward, to smother your attack and grab you? Each of the 5 dominant animal styles of Southern Shaolin (Tiger, White Crane, Serpent, Dragon and Leopard) has a vastly different physical approach, a vastly different tactical approach and a vastly different technical approach. Having a basic understanding of these 5 animal styles gives us a major advantage because: We are able to select techniques and strategies that suit our body type (we dont all have the same strength, speed etc) We are able to identify our opponent's animal, and quickly choose an animal (technical, tactical etc) to respond with more chance of success. We are able to switch animals in both attack and defence, making us unpredictable. It also keeps training an adventure, with completely different ways to practice every technique in your karate arsenal. Check out onlinedojo.gkrkarate.com for a number of videos relating to adapting principles of the 5 dominant animal styles out of Fujian China (the area that influenced the development of karate.)

As you may have seen, S.A Health has put indo...or sport into a two week closure which includes Karate. Please note that here at GKR, we care about our students and instructors so we fully support this decision. A text will be sent to students tomorrow morning letting them know about our classes temporarily closing and the suspension of training fees during this period. It can take up to 48 hours for payments to stop so those that have money come out tomorrow or Wednesday then they may still have a payment come out. A credit will be organised in this case. We ask that you keep an eye on your emails for official correspondence and please keep in contact with your Facebook Dojo pages for updates. See more
