10.01.2022 Up to this point, the only jackets that students could purchase were those available on our online store and whatever event-specific items we produced for Natio...nal Titles. The good news is that the jacket is NOW ready. attached is an order form for you to copy and distribute to all of your students. So that we can manufacture and deliver this initial order of jackets back to the students as soon as possible, there is an order deadline that students will need to adhere to. Hence, students must hand their completed Student Jacket Order Form with payment back to you by Sunday 8th September. The jacket will be priced at $79 The new club badge is embroidered on the front All writing and kanji on the back is embroidered also There are 2 zip pockets at the front The sizings are pretty standard ie: if youre usually a medium then order a medium. If you want to wear it over a canvass uniform, then you could possibly go up a size? The material is the standard tracksuit kind (ie: nylon/parachute material) We have included an indicative age chart to help parents choose the correct size.

10.01.2022 This year the final class of the year is a Beach Class!! Last year Sempai Andrew and Annaliese took to the beach on the Gold Coast for the 2019 Beach Class. Both had an immense amount of fun and got sand EVERYWHERE!!... This year we again are hitting the beach on Sunday the 20th of December down on the Gold Coast with Sensei's Kelvin Trembath and David Old. We can highly recommend this event for all students - but you need to get in QUICK! There are only 100 spots available!! Fill out the Beach Class form and return it to your sensei ASAP - you can even pre-order and pre-pay your sausage sizzle! :) P.S. Be sure to wear your swimmers under your Gi!!!

07.01.2022 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.

07.01.2022 To all GKR students, please find a short video from our founder and Chief Instructor, Kancho Robert Sullivan.
