The Karate club in Canberra, Kodokan Matsubayashi-Ryu Karate Dojo, is excited to promote its upcoming local Karate event. Whether you're a kid looking to develop discipline and tactics against bullies, a senior seeking to learn traditional martial arts, or a woman interested in self-defence techniques, this event has something for everyone.

The Kodokan Cummings Karate Dojo offers a variety of programs that cater to different age groups and interests. For children aged 6 to 13, there's the Shorinryu Karatedo program, which focuses on building discipline, balance, and coordination. The classes also equip kids with tactics to deal with bullies in a non-physical manner, fostering a sense of confidence and resilience. The program even includes a unique Junior Leadership Program and mat chats on various thought-provoking topics.

For those aged 14 and above, the Shorinryu Karatedo program provides a platform to learn traditional martial arts in a contemporary setting. The emphasis is on physical self-defence skills, cultivating focus, discipline, coordination, flexibility, and adopting a martial arts-inspired lifestyle. It's a comprehensive program that prepares individuals for the challenges of the modern world.

If you're intrigued by the weapons martial arts of Okinawa, the Seniors Kobudo program is perfect for you. Open to participants aged 14 and above, this program delves into the intricacies of primary weapons such as rokushaku bo and sai, as well as secondary weapons. Both physically and mentally demanding, this program offers similar benefits as Karatedo and provides a unique and challenging experience.

For women aged 16 and above, the Women's Self Defence program is designed to teach effective techniques for self-defence. Beyond physical training, the classes also focus on mental development in areas such as health and wellbeing, stress management, conflict avoidance, and situational awareness. It's a holistic approach that empowers women to take control of their safety and overall well-being.

Classes are available five days a week at the fully-dedicated martial arts centre in Gungahlin. Terms run from January to April, April to July, July to September, and October to December, ensuring that there is always an opportunity to get involved. It's important to note that there are no classes on public holidays, so be sure to plan accordingly.
