25.01.2022 Hi Everyone Hope everyone is well. Exciting news, classes are starting up again very soon! It'll be great to be back in the dojo with all of you. I've missed classes so much. Stay tuned for an official dates and info.... See you soon. S.Phil See more

23.01.2022 ***** THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU WILL READ ALL DAY***** Hi guys! Thursday night, how's everyone going? Hope you are all well. Few things to ask you all,... 1. How are going with the Online Dojo? Any thoughts or feedback? Which classes have you been doing? Do we have any favorites or any that have been challenging? Let me know... 2. How/where is everybody training? I've been building up gym and exersise equipment over the last years 15 years (haha and probably have more than I need) but it's all outside and with winter on its way I need a plan B. Which I'm working on right now and I'll show you when it's finished. *****I'd like to see it at least know what you guys are working with so I can give you a few ideas... Or steal your ideas Eg; weights, punching bag, kettle bells, resistance bands.... Ummm mowing your whole lawn in long stance.... So! For this week coming up.. as long as you have enough space.. I'd like to offer an idea on Kata practice. Slow (Tai Chi pace, nothing fast) x3, normal speed and timing x3 and fast as you can (no slow bits or big pauses) x3, your grade Kata! Once you have done this, (if you haven't already) I'd like you all to have a look/start working on your next kata. With the help of the videos just try and get a hang of the pattern and we can look at them a bit more in depth next week. After all, a major reason behind the development of Kata at its origin was to allow the martial artist to practice anytime, anywhere, by them selves. Which at a time like this becomes a very handy tool to have. I am eagerly awaiting your responses Also feel free to throw questions at me anytime! But for now I'm sipping my coffee staring at a screen waiting to hear from you all. Sensei Phil

22.01.2022 Hi everybody! I hope you are all doing well and managed to enjoy your Easter weekend. I spent mine in the gym and the kitchen now I can't move How did everybody go getting started on a new Kata? Any questions? ... I hope everybody is getting some training in. My little dojo will be ready to go soon, which will hopfully be a much needed motivation boost.. Must. Keep. Moving.... Let me know if there is anything you need guys. Sensei Phil

22.01.2022 Hey guys, if anyone wants to get some dojo time in over the holidays, the Hoppers Prime Dojo will be open every Tuesday. S.Phil

21.01.2022 Are you an online Dojo member yet?? If you are then show us a video of you training at home to one of your favorite online training sessions. Tag a friend who is stuck at home and could benefit from getting online dojo access. They don't have to be a member of the club as we are setting up a special offer for all your friends who are not club members and we are currently filming lots of content so there will be plenty of videos for our beginners to make a start, get fit, stay... sane, and learn the magical art of Karate..

19.01.2022 Hi everyone So, good news and bad news.. *Our Dojo is not one of those opening back up this week.... ***The Good news is..! We have a New Venue to train in as of next week, in Hoppers Crossing, until we get our usual Dojo back. I just need a show of hands now for those who can make it to our Thursday 5pm or 6:15pm classes, for the next few weeks, just off Old Geelong Rd, Hoppers Crossing. Just comment here or message me 0421040779 YES and which time.... And Boom! We are back at training!! Look forward to seeing you all soon! S.Phil

15.01.2022 To all GKR students, please find a short video from our founder and Chief Instructor, Kancho Robert Sullivan.

14.01.2022 Hey guys, Hope everyone is well Awesome seminar this Sunday! Another opportunity for us to keep training and stay connected as a club! Kancho always has a good story or two under his belt as well..... Past Karate-ka and Karate as a whole, has survived worse than this. If Karate made it through WW2, I think we'll be fine. I look forward to seeing you all again! S.Phil **Next Sunday 9/8 My bad.

14.01.2022 Hey guys I hope everyone is well. If you haven't seen this yet.. now you have. See you all Thursday Sensei Phil

14.01.2022 Classes may be temporarily closed but the GKR Karate Online Dojo is ALWAYS OPEN! Offering high quality training materials & regular online tuition from some of GKR Karate’s most senior instructors to keep your karate sharp whilst training from home. Head to https://onlinedojo.gkrkarate.com to register and get started.... We're ready for you to bow-in!

13.01.2022 Hi Guys, hope you are all well. Fingers and toes crossed that we will be back in our dojo again before long. ....... in the meantime, this should be an amazing seminar. Shihan Anthony really is something else and there will be something in this for everyone. Jump on it. S.Phil

13.01.2022 On another note. There is now a beginners section on the online dojo. If you think of anyone who could benefit from starting Karate while they're at home in this time, feel free to tag them or pass it along to them. They can start from the very beginning with Shihan Anthony.

12.01.2022 Hi everyone!! Just checking in to see how everybody is doing. Thursday was a funny old night for me.. first time for a long time I didn't spend it in a dojo. I hope everyone is trying to keep up some training at home. We've all put in alot of hard work to get where we are and doesn't take long for good habits to fall away.... If you haven't already I advise you to get onto the GKR online dojo and FB page. There are some amazing instructors on there to help you through this odd time we are in, as well as going forward with your future training as things go back to normal To keep ourselves and each other motivated and accountable, ****I'd love to see some pictures or videos posted of you guys training, staying sharp and having fun. Especially any innovative training ideas**** I'll try to share some ideas and drills with you from now on as well. Sensei Phil I'll start us off....

12.01.2022 Hi to all Victorian GKR Karate students. We hope you’re all doing OK. Not long to go now! Classes will re-start very soon so watch this space for details. Stay well. GKR Karate

10.01.2022 Hi guys! Hope everyone is safe and well and training hard. So, I tried making a training video for you yesterday without much success. At best I think it would have been upside down I think I'll leave it in the more than capable hands of Shihan Anthony Ryan and the other senior instructors on the GKR online dojo, to provide you with training content and spare you witty ramblings. Your welcome ... In saying that I will be online and available to you every Thursday night at our usual training times to answer any questions you have, and offer any advice or feedback. I'm doing my best to keep up my training at home and I hope you are too. It's not always easy but do your best! Every session counts. In the comments will be a download of everyone's grading syllabus so you can keep your basics sharp and have you ready for your next grade ASAP once we are back in the Dojo. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate.. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Stay safe, eat well and train hard. I'll see you guys soon. Sensei Phil **Attached also is quick video of me beating up my kick shield at the end of a workout. Enjoy

07.01.2022 Hi Guys, **NEW UPDATE** We are back in our usual Point Cook Dojo as of next week!!... Limit is 20 students per class so you will still need to comment here or message me to book yourselves in. School holidays, so it'll just be the 6:15 class See you next week S.Phil
