25.01.2022 Final reminder about this exciting seminar happening tomorrow at Hornsby PCYC for all of our junior students 5-19yrs. This is a great opportunity to train with Shihan Anthony Ryan. Shihan Anthony is a 6th Dan black belt and one of Australia's most knowledgeable and inspirational instructors in any style. He is also a 5 time GKR World Kumite Champion and has so many different drills and activities planned for tomorrow it will rock your socks off and give you enough new things to work on for the next year!

24.01.2022 Here are the details of our blue belt project class to be held later this month. We've decided to make our blue belt project seminar a beach class. Please come ...along to this great class and show your support for our mental health awareness month and beyond blue. If you don't usually go to the beach or get up early or exercise in the morning and it feels like it would be uncomfortable for you, imagine how uncomfortable it might feel for someone suffering from a mental health issue to come forward and seek the support and help they need to overcome their condition. Remember to wear your special blue belt, if you don't have one yet we've still got a few left you can order from class or go to www.bluebeltproject.com See more

09.01.2022 Go-Kan-Ryu Karate (GKR) is a traditional Japanese style of karate. GKR was founded by Robert Sullivan in Adelaide, South Australia. Robert first began training in the art of karate in 1964, and spent time training and teaching in both Japan and the USA before establishing GKR in 1984. GKR Karate is taught in a non-contact environment and promotes both character and physical development. GKR is a club for all ages and promotes self-defence, fitness, coordination, discipline, c...onfidence and stress relief. People of all walks of life can train together and learn the art of karate in a safe, fun and encouraging environment. If you would like to know more about GKR, from class times, to prices or anything else, you can contact the Senior Instructor for Sydney on 0404 092 747, email at [email protected], or via the regions primary Facebook page GKR Karate Region 1 Australia

08.01.2022 To all GKR students, please find a short video from our founder and Chief Instructor, Kancho Robert Sullivan.

07.01.2022 This is the first principle in Funakoshi’s book, The 20 guiding principles of Karate-Do. Rei is a sense of respect and esteem that starts with the self and is t...ransferred to others. Funakoshi states if a martial artist lacks this respectful heart (Rei) then they are only practising contemptible violence. It is for this reason that we must never lose our sense of respect and esteem for ourselves and our training partners. On a much deeper level it is a connection to the oneness, knowing that we are all connected. We are all ‘the one’ or part of the one. We influence our environment and those around us with our energy just like we are influenced by the energy of our environment and those around us. This is why we start with Rei and must maintain it throughout our practise and indeed, beyond the dojo. Yoga practitioners call this Namaste. It is when we honour ourselves and honour others by recognising that thread, that part of us that exists within us all.. whatever you choose to call it. See more
