Seiko- Kai Shito-Ryu Karate-Do Australia

Teens & Adults Karate           Juniors (Teens) 13 – 16 We teach a mixture of self-defence, kata and sport karate to our students who have begun to grasp the basics of karate. The emphasis is on physical exercise and self-control. Our students learn balance co-ordination, self-respect, confidence, discipline and how to avoid confrontation before it becomes physical. However if necessary, they learn how to control an attacker using kicks, punches, strikes and techniques of restraint. The classes are a mixture of traditional and modern teaching methods with the emphasis on increasing self-confidence while still ensuring that the etiquette and                                    discipline expected in Karate is followed. Seniors 16 & over The focus is the same as for juniors but on a more realistic scale. Our students study self-defence, body movement, kata and kumite (fighting). We aim to install self-esteem, confidence and discipline to our seniors.  The training is challenging both physically and mentally, and best of all it's extremely interesting Grading’s (Belt Testing) There are 16 colour belt levels for Junior’s and 10 colour belt levels for Seniors below black belt level. In order for the student to see that they are progressing, it is standard practice in Karate for belts to be issued once a student reaches an applicable level and passes the prescribed tests. Actual Belt testing is held on average every three months (for those who are considered ready). The grading fee includes the test, belt and issuance of grade certificate recognised by the Japan Headquarters.
