Our Classes

Our young grasshopper programs are specifically designed for children aged 3-4. This program has been created by Black belt instructors who actually began training in the age group many years ago. From their vast experience, they know what your developing child needs and have incorporated basic karate skills training with fun activities designed to improve your child’s co-ordination, strength, flexibility and confidence into every class. The most popular part of this class with parents is the strong emphasis on stranger danger principles and effective self defence against larger opponents. Along with this the children are must undertake social interactions with their Sensei and class mates using appropriate manners and disciplines to achieve successful outcomes. Each class finishes with a meditation concept designed to teach our young grasshoppers to hone their concentration and focus towards mindful objectives. If your child is shy or extremely energetic this class caters for all children and we welcome you to come along and see for yourself. 

Cadet Karate classes are for those aged between 15-17 years of age, or for those Junior class students who have excelled in their training. The cadet system teaches all the entire adults curriculum to its students, but acknowledges that the body is still growing and developing. Therefore the aim of the system is to prepare students for adult life both physically and mentally by a train hard, train smart approach to all lessons.

Basic weight training is introduced along with of course the addition of goal setting and achieving. Classes are generally only 90 minutes and are offered numerous times through the week to avoid any conflict with and support time for school studies. Our instructors aim to supplement our cadet members higher school studies through Karate training by maintaining a high level of health and care for the body and mind. Practical self defence techniques are paramount and included in each class and members are eligible to attend all AOGKF training camps, seminars, friendship tournaments and social events.

The best way to experience our unique system is to visit one of our centres, speak to the instructors, try or view a couple of classes and speak to other students and their families about why they are involved with us.

When you begin training with our clubs you will automatically be welcomed in our large and friendly Karate family. All of our members feel a close bond which is forged through dedicated training and lots of fun experiences shared together.
