Karate is an athletic and beautiful sport and really needs no reason for participation beyond pure enjoyment of doing karate.
There is something about Japanese martial arts that builds confidence, and it’s not just the shouting! Karate practice provides challenges and rewards for the mind and body at every turn.
Children at our dojo learn karate drills that challenge coordination, concentration and expression. Kids are required to learn and repeat movements that will then be performed in front of the instructor and peers. This gives an immediate sense of achievement that enables children to build confidence.
Karate is a martial art that gives many gifts, and will be an integral part of your child’s welfare as they grow.
Our kids karate classes help develop and improve:
• working memory
• visual selective attention
• executive functions
• strength of spirit!
What style of karate will my child be learning, you might ask?
One of the four main styles of karate in Japan: Shitoryu karate. Japanese tradition and the warrior culture heavily influences our classes. Students develop an appreciation of ethics. ‘Dojo Kun’ and ‘Shitoryu Five Way Spirit’ are pivotal to understanding the code of conduct that frames Shitokai.
Children at OKUKAN dojo learn karate in line with updates from the World Shiotryu Karatedo Federation. We are affiliated to the World Karate Federation via our Australian Representative, the Australian Karate Federation.
Japanese karate is a highly effective form of self defence and an incredibly practical and safe martial art to learn.
Karate and Discipline
Growing up is a hard task. Karate helps during this period, by providing an environment that is conducive to disciplined behaviour. This behaviour is informed by the code of ethics of the karate practitioner, which in essence is a replica of ideas of respect and good manners that we live by in society. By practicing karate, children will also be able to practice behaviour that is desirable at home and in social environments.
