Learn Traditional Karate at Maroochydore's only fully equipped, permanent Karate dojo

Our new Little Champions program is proving to be very popular already.  Younger brothers and sisters of existing members are keen to get started, some of our younger existing members and new student are all excited about a special martial arts program designed specifically for 4-6 year old children.

Many parents have been excited to find a school such as ours that offers martial arts for children in this age bracket as many teachers just don’t have the exerience required to teach young children effectively.  Our master instructor, Shihan Martin Phillips has over 25 years experience in the martial arts and when combined with this unique program designed by specialists in both early childhood education and other martial artists with similar experience, we are very confident that our Little Champions program is going to be a hit with both children and parents alike.

Martial arts for young children are a great way to develop physical skills such as coordination and balance.  But the benefits don’t stop at the physical, children will also develop better concentration, listening and social skills.  But perhaps the most important things that can be learned from an early start in the martial arts is to learn develop discipline and commitment.

I hope you’re ready, because we have been preparing a huge year ahead in the dojo for 2009.  Those who have been back into the dojo in the last week would have seen the new paint job, and there has been a lot of positive feedback about the new trianing schedule in the last week of January.

One new addition in 2009 is our Little Champions Kararate Program for children 4-6 years old.  Already there is a lot of interest from younger siblings of currnet members along with brand new members getting ready to start.  The Little Champions Program will have a modified syllabus and grading system to help lay a strong foundation in Chito-Ryu along with developing coordination, focus, good manners, listening skills and social skills.

Adult members are also very  happy to have a much greater range of training opportunities, including:  early morning classes, mid morning classes, more evening classes, specialised weapons classes, self-defense classes and sports karate classes.  And our kids classes also have more trianing opporunities and specialised classes too.

Due to the demand in 2008, we have increased the opportunity for private tutition with times now available fortnightly instead of monthly.
