Bondi Junction Kyokushin Karate

Camaraderie of a karate class. The Bondi Junction Kyokushin Karate Club offers a variety of classes for both adults and children.

For adult beginners, the club has specially tailored classes for those who have little to no martial arts training. These classes provide a solid foundation and focus on developing basic techniques, self-discipline, and self-defence skills. After 10–12 weeks of training, students have the opportunity to participate in gradings and work towards achieving their first belt, the Red Belt. Progressing further, students can aim for the Blue Belt and ultimately, the coveted Black Belt.

Many students also have the opportunity to compete in local, state, and national competitions to further challenge themselves.

The children's karate classes at Bondi Junction Kyokushin Karate Club emphasise respect, discipline, and team-building. Through these classes, children gain confidence and learn the value of goal-setting. The club encourages children to participate in non-contact karate tournaments, which focus on participation rather than winning. This approach contributes to the club's successful confidence-building programme.

It is rewarding for instructors to witness the positive transformation in children, as they become more outgoing, disciplined, and self-controlled.

Both adult and children's classes include self-defence training to ensure that students are equipped with practical skills to protect themselves. The club also prides itself on fostering a good social atmosphere, providing a supportive and enjoyable environment for students to learn, grow, and improve their fitness.

Located at Shop 3, 87 Oxford Street, Bondi Junction, the dojo is conveniently positioned just 100m west of the end of the Oxford Street Mall. It is easily accessible from the Bondi Junction railway station and bus terminal, making it convenient for students to attend classes.
