25.01.2022 Hi everyone, karate is coming back on November 9 at the hoppers crossing hombu. If you would like to train there let me know, otherwise the zoom training for our class on Tuesday night is still a great way to get your karate fix while we wait for our wyndham vale dojo to open up. See you all at training, S. Kai and S. Liliana

25.01.2022 It’s so close. Watch this space for more news very soon! S. Kai

23.01.2022 Hi wyndham vale tuesday students, Havent heard from many of you in a while and thought Id check in. Ive seen quite a few of you in the online classes, which is great ... If any of you want to get a good cardio and core workout, come to my friday class at 7.15pm. We had two great sessions already and the next on 22 May will bring you an amazing abs workout Also, since i dont know how many of my students are actually looking at posts on this page, can you please comment with a thumbs up when you see this message? Thanks and i truly hope to see you again soon, be it online or in the dojo, Sensei Kai

23.01.2022 Hello Wyndham Vale students, Truly hope you are all well, staying fit and healthy. As before, feel free to post your workouts, katas or other karate related videos of you. And if you want feedback, you can always send me a private message.... As for me: Day 4 of the 19 pushups for 19 days challenge done (if it looks like Im struggling the last few then that is because Ive done 200 pushups before those). Also done today so far (the day is not over yet ): - 6 km run - 30 min heavy bag workout - karatercise from the online dojo Who from our class is willing to do the COVID-19 pushup challenge? (Apart from Shane Harvey who has joined already i believe).

22.01.2022 Hello all R26 Karate-ka. as we reach the end of our first week on LIVE CLASSES in Region 26, and the feedback from students has been awesome. there will is 3 m...ore classes being run over the weekend so if you havent attended yet go and check them out, you wont be disappointment.

20.01.2022 Great news! We dont have a confirmed date yet for our wyndham vale dojo, but its only a matter of time now until we can resume our normal classes Hope to see you all again very soon! S. Kai

20.01.2022 Hello Wyndham Vale students I wanted to check in to see how you all are going. Its a crazy world at the moment and completely understandable if we feel a little lost in these unprecedented times. Just remember, this will be over at some point and we will come out the other side. Until then, please remember to do something for yourself every day! And as part of that, dont forget your body! It takes a while to create a good habit, and only a very short time to create a bad ...one. With the online dojo we now have a chance to do some well thought through and planned karate at home. Try out the karatercise and the 5 min leg and pushup & situp workout. A little demanding, but you only do whatever you can in those 5 minutes, and try to improve on it next time. But also all the other lessons are great. Outside the online dojo, you can of course always run through the core workout I do with you guys during Tuesday classes it doesnt take long but does wonders for your body. I do similar exercises every day, and i also try to run 10 km every day (while we are still allowed to leave the house). That helps me to stay fit and sane during these uncertain times. Maybe grab your mum or dad (if youre one of the kids in class) and go for a short run as well. Start short and slow and work yourself up in speed and distance over the next weeks (or as long as we can). Itll be good for you AND your parents Doing just a bit every day will ensure that you are fit and ready to come back to class once this is over! And dont forget, if you have any questions, concerns or just wanna have a bit of a chat about what to do while classes are suspended, feel free to shoot me a message anytime! All the best, stay focused and strong! S. Kai

19.01.2022 New timetable for our online classes!

They dont 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..

13.01.2022 Hi Wyndham Vale students, A few of us instructors (thanks Sensei Paul Gaskin) have decided, in light of the current restrictions due to the COVID-19 crisis, in this country and many others, that we are doing something that can be done inside. It is also good for our bodies and souls. We are doing 19 push ups a day for 19 days. Theres quite a few students throughout the area who have joined and i encourage each of you to join in as well.... Take a video if you want and post it here, or do it in private and let me know by direct message or after we are all back how it was for you. In my case, Day 1-3 done (missed the first 2 days so had to catch up), 57 push ups in total (though watching the video i must have lost count and did an extra 2). To all my family and friends, within the Karate community, at work and outside, here in Australia and across the globe, stay safe and while you are restricted leaving your home, stay fit! Well come out the other side, lets try to make the most of it and work on our fitness in the meantime! #wecanbeatthisthing #stayathome #staysafe (Had nice music in the background, but FB decided to mute it because of copyright )

12.01.2022 BOOM!! and then there was training.. check this out Champions. https://onlinedojo.gkrkarate.com/store78476au

P.S. i hope you also all got your access to the online dojo. All the best, S. Kai

08.01.2022 Hello all Wyndham Students. Hope you are all doing well and not to frustrated by the current second lockdown and having all your classes closed back down.

You should have already received an email from me with a special link that will give you access to all the live classes.

07.01.2022 Hi Shane Harvey and kids, Youve done an extraordinary job tonight during the abs and core session! Great to see you there and your commitment to your training and getting/staying fit while we all train from home.... Hope you guys can make it to next weeks class too. Equally demanding, but more cardio ... core is of course always involved Cheers and see you soon! Sensei Kai

07.01.2022 Life has thrown us a temporary curve ball, but that doesnt 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 cant 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.

06.01.2022 Also, if you can do more than just the pushups (or replace pushups with situps or squats), do what you can and every day a little more. That way all this may end up to bring something positive into your lives. As for me, i have started the day early in the morning with a 6 km run, then worked from home, over my lunch break i did a 30 min heavy bag (or actually a karate dummy) workout, and then after work did altogether 300+ pushups, and the two 5 min workouts from the GKR onl...ine dojo Stay safe guys and hope to hear from you! Sensei Kai

06.01.2022 First class Monday 20th April will you be there?

06.01.2022 Happy Easter to all our Wyndhamvale Students. May you all enjoy the time with family close to you, and hopefully you can connect with those afar by FaceTime, Skype or Zoom!... Stay safe Stay healthy Stay connected! Stay training! Keep fit, keep energized, keep going for your goals! HAPPY EASTER I look forward to seeing you here and training with you Register at www.onlinedojo.gkrkarate.com #stayhome

05.01.2022 My PERSONAL Invitation! COME AND TRAIN with US in the online dojo and get bonus access to weekly live classes too! I look forward to seeing you all soon Yours in karate do,... Sensei Lisa Carruthers See more

04.01.2022 The Online Dojo has proven so popular that many of our students family members have started training at home with them. Congratulations to all those who have s...tarted their karate journey! We now have a category just for you - Karate for Beginners. We already have a number of videos in this category, with more coming soon... Some of these videos explain some basic concepts in karate, such as why we Shout (Kiai), why we bow, or even wear our funny white pyjamas. Beginner techniques tutorials (which will grow each week) And finally, classes designed for beginners. We will be adding to these regularly. For those experienced students, perhaps this section will also offer greater insight into your training. If you havent already signed up, get started with a free 3 day trial at http://onlinedojo.gkrkarate.com
