Welcome and thank you for taking the time to find out
more about our Karate classes. We have been instructing in the local
area since 1999, our classes are held at Glendenning, Hassall Grove, Ropes
Crossing, Quakers Hill, The ponds and Castle Hill.
You can find out about your Sensei on our Website.
Our club is a member of The International Martial arts
Alliance and the Australian Federation of Traditional Karate. Sensei Marty
and Scott are also members of the Japanese Karate Federation in Japan.
All instructors hold nationally and internationally
recognised grades. All instructors are Senior First Aid accredited.
All Instructors hold Working with Children Certificates as required by law.
Our classes focus on traditional
Okinawan (Japanese) Karate, our instructors and students attend numerous
seminars (Karate and external) every year both here and overseas so you can
be assured that we are only teaching the correct and latest techniques.
What to expect As a white
belt you will learn basic block, strikes and kicks and one set pattern of
moves.
Grading Generally your first
grading is at around 10 weeks (1 class a week) as long as you know the
basics you practice in class.
Regular
training is a must for students to be able to learn at a steady
pace. Karate will instil in your
child qualities such as respect, self esteem,
dedication, and discipline and through Karate your child will
also learn leadership skills by taking a responsible approach to teaching
lower graded and younger students under the guidance of club instructors.
As a parent,
your child relies on you to get
them to class on time, we also rely on you to ensure they get to
classes on a regular basis, this allows the student to learn at a steady
pace. A student that comes one week and not the next two and does this
constantly will never learn what they need to know and it reinforces the
lack of dedication needed to complete a goal. This also holds other students
back when we have to keep teaching the same things to the same students
Students should always arrive at class before the start
time, arriving late disrupts the class. Remember, if you are feeling
sick, do not attend class.
Your
first lesson is free to try. Initial membership is $80.00 per
person and this includes the cost of your Embroidered Karate uniform, then
every 12 months a membership renewal fee of $55.00 per student is required &
this primarily covers your insurance fees. If membership is not renewed
prior to running out then the full $70 fee is charged and training ceases
until it is paid as you are not covered under the clubs insurance policy.
Class fees are $130 per school term.
This is due in the first week of the
term. Late fees apply. Grading fees are $70
Class sign in: Our club
employs a computerised finger scanner to sign students into class, this is
to speed up the sign in process and get the class started on time. This also
counts attendance and informs us when a student has met the minimum amount
of classes to be eligible to attend a grading. If the student does not scan
their finger then they may miss out on a grading.
We do employ safe
work practices to ensure student and instructor safety, these can be found
on our web site and attached to our newsletters. All members/parents are
required to read these.
