Roubas Goju Ryu Karate Concord is a sports club located in Sydney's Inner West. The club specialises in GoJu Ryu Karate Do, a traditional Japanese martial art that aims to promote physical fitness, self-defence, and improvement in mental attitude. The dojo is founded on the philosophy of maintaining a special sense of family, camaraderie, and community among its members.
At Roubas Goju Ryu Karate Concord, classes are disciplined yet fun, allowing the whole family to participate and develop a unique bond with one another based on respect and good etiquette. Karate is an individual activity where students perform at their own level, but the class operates as a group, encouraging members to not only improve themselves but also assist others in their improvement. This environment fosters a healthy camaraderie and unity among its members.
One of the club's focuses is the junior programme, designed for children between the ages of 8 to 13 years old. These classes offer a high degree of dynamics, both in physical and mental challenges, taking into consideration the developmental needs of children at this age. The karate curriculum emphasises traditional teachings and family values, teaching important principles such as respect, etiquette, self-control, and motivation. The grading system using the belt system allows students to learn the importance of goal setting and traditional values like courtesy and respect.
