Karate is not a game of points, weight classes or showy demonstrations. It is a martial art and way of life that trains a practitioner to be peaceful; but if conflict is unavoidable, true karate dictates taking down an opponent with a single blow. Such an action requires strength, speed, focus, control. But these physical aspects are only part of the practice; they are just the vehicle, not the jo

urney itself. True karate is based on Bushido. In true karate, the body, mind and spirit—the whole person—must be developed simultaneously. Through kihon, kumite and kata we learn to control our movements. But more importantly, we learn to give up control too. We can perform the techniques without thinking about them, and remain focused without having to concentrate on any one thing. In essence, the body remembers how to move and the mind remembers how to be still. This harmonious unity of mind and body is intensely powerful. Even the greatest physical strength and skill are no match for the power of wholeness. The result of true karate is natural, effortless action, and the confidence, humility, openness and peace only possible through perfect unity of mind and body. This is the core teaching of Zen, the basis of Bushido, and the of the JKA’s karate philosophy.

Small class size taught by visiting instructor David Owen 3rd Dan JKA. Sensei Dave went through Empi in some detail, and then focussed the class on the breaking up kizami tsuki (front arm punch), gyaku tsuki (reverse punch), and gedan barai (downward block) into the basic movements. The concept was to eliminate all unnecessary movement to maximise the speed of the technique. Thanks to Sensei Dave for his excellent class.

New members welcomed. We have very senior instructors and can teach you traditional Karate-Do in a non violent and supportive manner. The instructors were beginners once too!

We are not a business, but a community service. We take this point of difference very seriously, and value small class sizes and health and well being over competition and raw fighting.

JKA Karate-Do is a great way to work on your fitness and concentration whilst studying real Karate and meeting other like minded people. There are several thousand active JKA Karateka in Australia.
