24.01.2022 We’re backkkkkkkkk See everyone at 6pm tomorrow evening at the Tallebudgera Leisure Centre

24.01.2022 Have you checked out our online dojo yet? I’ve just spent a couple of hours on there and it’s full of amazing videos and classes and drills etc I really can’t underplay just how awesome the library of karate knowledge is on the online dojo page. $7.95 a week is an incredible price for such an awesome site.... What are you waiting for ?? Head there for a 3 day free trial http://onlinedojo.gkrkarate.com Regards Sensei David

24.01.2022 A smaller class than usual with a lot of people away on school holidays. Block punch combinations, stepping through combinations, paper punching and Kiai splat to end the night. Looking forward to seeing a bigger class back next week. Sensei David and Sensei Wendy

23.01.2022 Happy Father’s Day to all our GKR Dad’s and those who have assumed the mantle of fatherhood for those in need A father is more than someone who we may or may not share DNA with, it’s someone who holds our hands when we are little and someone who will hold a large piece of our hearts forever. If you train with your children or fill that very important role of getting them to class 2-3 times a week then you’ll know the joy of seeing them accomplish a new karate skill or get ...that next level. Anyone can father a child but it takes a real person to step up and give them your strength and compassion and wisdom and love. Have a truly awesome & amazing day Regards Sensei David

22.01.2022 Today only- don’t miss out Regards Sensei David 0427 484 507

20.01.2022 Hi Everyone, Only 3 more sleeps until Shihan Anthony’s Seminar. I’ve been fortunate enough to train with and under Shihan many times over the years and I always look forward to the karate session that he teaches at our Manager’s Conferences.... Over the years there have been Instructors who have left inside me a burning desire to learn and improve after training in their class. Shihan is one of those amazing people. He will motivate every muscle in your body and leave you wanting more and more and more. I know Sunday is Fathers Day but the seminar is on in the evening when dad is probably tuckered out after his big day & will be probably having a nap on the lounge So get excited and get registered for one of the most amazing Zoom sessions you will have ever had. See you Sunday Regards Sensei David https://www.gkrkarate.com//online-seminar-with-shihan-ant/

02.01.2022 What does a Sensei do? My Sensei doesn’t just teach me karate. My Sensei is my role model. Someone who has already walked the path I want to go. ... My Sensei is my motivator. They inspire me to push to points I never thought I could reach. My Sensei is my coach. They help me through the toughest times in my journey. My Sensei is my drill sergeant. They keep me in line, on task to achieve my goals. My Sensei is my biggest fan. They believe in me when I struggle to believe in myself. My Sensei teaches me integrity, discipline, and the highest standards of personal character. My Sensei teaches me to fail, and they teach me to stand back up again, to never give up. My Sensei teaches me to show respect and courtesy to all who walk this earth. My Sensei teaches me to be calm and in control, responsible always for my behaviour. My Sensei teaches me to be faithful and sincere in all that I do. My Sensei doesn’t just teach me karate. My Sensei prepares me for life.
