Are you the owner of Ashihara Karate Albany?
Hey there sports community!
Jaimie, the organiser at Ashihara Karate Albany, wants to share some exciting news. If you’re into martial arts or just looking for a new way to stay fit, you’ve got to check this out.
Ashihara Karate, founded by Hideyuki Ashihara, is all about practical fighting and self-defence. Jaimie emphasises that it’s not about dodging or avoiding attacks aimlessly. The focus at Ashihara Karate Albany is on practical strategies and scientific logic in combat. Even if an opponent is bigger or stronger, the aim is to overcome them with smart techniques rather than brute force.
Ashihara Karate is built around two key concepts: Sabaki and Fight Control. Sabaki gets you moving your body into advantageous positions, like the opponent’s blind spot. Fight Control is about managing the opponent using techniques that don’t cause unnecessary harm. Mastering these concepts means you can handle attacks and keep the opponent from countering effectively.
Jaimie wants you to know that Ashihara Karate is all about improvement through enjoyment. It's a lifelong journey where people of all abilities train together, compete, teach, and help each other progress. The training is designed to avoid the injuries that often come from reckless practices or unrealistic expectations.
Ashihara Karate Albany is affiliated with the Fighting Fit Academy in Panmure, Auckland, and The New International Karate Organisation (NIKO) in Japan. Whether you’re into martial arts, looking to boost your self-defence skills, or just seeking a fun way to get fit, Ashihara Karate is a great option.
Classes are held every Monday and Wednesday night, and Jaimie invites you to try the first two classes for free. Just show up in your gym gear and see if it suits you. For any questions or more info about Ashihara Karate or the classes, feel free to contact Ashihara Karate Albany. You can find them at 50 Spencer Road, Albany, Auckland, or reach out at 027 202 6758 or info@ashiharakarate.co.nz.
