Karate Activities for Kids

14-07-2016

Fantastic set up to get the maximum out of your training by having a children's session and adults session. Chief Instructor Meade is an inspirational teacher and brings great leadership with his personal set of skills. Together with his blackbelts he has a Dojang where you must have trained at least ones. You'll go back for more. Thank you for letting me (and my children) train here.

I have always found the training at this centre to be of a really high standard and I get a great workout. The instructors and assisting black belts are dynamic, helpful and inspire me to improve by giving me useful tips on how to better my technique. As a lady member it is great to have a good balance of female and male instructors with such a wealth of experience behind them.

My kids have been enrolled at Ainslie Karate School in the After School Pickup Program for 2 years now and they absolutely love it!! Jeff who runs the show is amazing with the kids, the class is controlled beautifully and all kids listen attentively. I'm thrilled to have found a Karate School that my husband and I have complete trust in and an instructor who is passionate about the the development of all children in the class. 5 stars! - Jen

My son has been training at the Mount Beauty Dojo for the past few years and I have watched him grow with respect and humility through learning a traditional martial art. He has developed self confidence and friendships through the school. I have also joined the class to continue my martial arts journey later in life. I consider myself to be very lucky to have an opportunity to learn from such an experienced teacher. it is also very rewarding to see the development of the all students in the class. I can highly recommend this Karate school.

I have been studying Takahashi-ha no Ryuky Shuri-Te in the Mount Beauty area for over four years now. Training has brought upon immense and vital changes within myself that allows me to tackle the uncertainties of adulthood. The teachings of the way of traditional karate-do fosters more than just physical achievement, but also the skills and confidence to strive for educational and personal excellence. This traditional karate-do has not taught me how to fight or how to use violence without cause. Instead it has guided me on how not to fight and the self-esteem to not to give in to violence. However, it has expanded the know how and the courage for if a time did call upon for my own protection or the protection of someone else that i would be fully able and have the valour for self defence. A traditional art, like this one teaches the traditions and customs of the original cultures of Japan and Okinawa. I have learnt from traditional customs and manners to language and history. This art has changed my life immeasurably and I recommend it to anyone that is fully willing to put their whole heart into this art, who are willing to change for the better.

My 10 & 12yo children have attended Takahashi-ha no Ryūkyū - Shuri-Te Karate-Dosince since the beginning of the year. 10th Dan Hanshi O'Connor is gifted & patient teacher in the traditional martial arts forms. My daughter & son have gained confidence, respect & skills for lifetime & will continue to learn from his teachings. I strongly recommend this Karate-do training centre to anyone in the region (Adult or child).

I have been training in this soulful art for nearly 2 years now. For me, it has been an incredibly positive experience, and I have gained so much, both physically and emotionally in this short time. As a senior (over 18 yrs) I have the pleasure of training with the Juniors for the first hour of every class. I have watched our younger students grow also. Our classes encourage humility and respect whilst building confidence, courage and self awareness. Great skills to take into all other aspects of life. I can not recommend this school highly enough, and if you live near the Mt Beauty area, there is not a better gift you could give yourself or your child for life.

03-05-2016

My 2 sons have been training with this group for the past 15 years. The self discipline, confidence, fitness & self defense skills my sons possess now are from all the years training with these excellent instructors. They still love their Taekwondo training today and never miss a lesson under their Instructor or the Master. I highly recommend First Taekwondo to all my friends and family.

20-04-2016

A supportive training environment with professional, patient and encouraging instructors.

10-01-2016

Glenroy kyokushin karate is part of the fighting arts fitness centre in Glenroy. I have been training there since I opened over 15 years ago. The owners, staff, instructors & students are like family one big family. All you need to do is pop in one night and you will instantly understand this. They have produced numerous state & national champions and continue to do so year in year out. It is a full time facility offering many options. If you are looking for a well run friendly environment to train at in Melbourne. This is your place...just check it out.

05-08-2015

I was introduced to FAFC by my younger brother way back when they first opened. At the time he was a kyokoshin student, a style I wasn't too familiar with so I went down to the dojo to see them in training. I instantly liked what I saw and signed up becoming member #45. I enjoyed their method as it's about discipline, pushing yourself to your limit and walking away with a tired but fulfilling outcome. Being a dad these days and having an interest in kyokushin, my family has also adopted an interest in the kyokushin way so it is now a part of our lifestyle thanks to FAFC. My kids have been members of FAFC for 2 years now and I can only see a positive outcome in them such as discipline, fitness and confidence.

05-08-2015

FAFC the place to go if your wanting the highest knowledge & skills in Martial Arts.The teachers are friendly & extremely talented.You won't find a better place in Melbourne!

05-08-2015

Both my ten year old boys train at Fafc they have made some good friendships with other positive kids and seem to love the training and the challenges. I have definitely noticed an improvement in their energy and focus at home and school. I believe Fafc is a welcoming and positive place to train in matial arts for adults and children Thankyou :)

My son had a fantastic time and Sensei Sandra is great.

Joining Wilkes was the best thing i have ever done. Ive met the most supportive people there and are proud to call them my friends the instructor team are the most kindest and helpful people iver ever met. joining in 2011 was the best decision ive ever made and would never look back. i love recommendeding this place to people because i know its a wonderful place with wonderful people and i have never been so fit. in the last year ive lost 10kgs and 2 dress sizes just from the classes witch are hard but the most fun. between the fitness classes, bjj classes and martial arts classes I pretty much live there and i love it.

11-05-2015

I have been training with Wilkes since 2012, I turn 41 this year and I dont remember feeling as fit, sharp, confident and balanced in a long time. The atmosphere/vibe created within the gym is a sanctuary from pressures of the outside world, the instructors are dedicated and passionate about their art and the progression of all students be it the 3yr olds through to the "older" people like myself. Egos are left at the door and everyone is in there to assist and bring the best out in everyone else regardless of experience and rank. Anyone thinking of signing their child or children up, I could not recommend Wilkes more highly, the quality and substance in the kids classes are not just self-defence and fitness but crucial life skills including respect, courtesy, integrity and dedication. All in all a fantastic environment to train in, a fantastic group of people, quite possible one of the best decisions I have made was walking through the door and getting started.

I joined Wilkes Academy in 2013 after realising that 25 years of trying every fad diet available had left me a middle aged very overweight man susceptible to diabetes and a shortened life expectancy. My wife and daughter had already joined and I had been along to watch a few times, never even daring to think I could do what they were doing. I was asked a few times by Mr Mitchell if I'd like to join in, but I managed to find an excuse every time. Eventually I plucked up the courage to have a crack at it, fully expecting to feel humiliated. What I discovered was a family of instructors and students who are absolutely dedicated to helping people set a goal and realise it, to get fit and have a laugh at the same time, and to learn a skill that both gives you focus away from life's worries and in the unfortunate event that you need to rely on it, would give you a good chance of defending and protecting yourself in a controlled way. Eighteen months later, I am 16kg lighter, fitter, happier, healthier and the proud wearer of a blue belt. I had no confidence that I would last a month when I signed up, but now I can't imagine not having this aim, and these friends, in my life. My ten year old daughter has her education and attitude assessed prior to every grading and this has proved to be very effective in making her want to 'do the right thing' as well as giving her the ability to defend herself also. We pay a very reasonable weekly membership fee and can attend as many classes as we wish. This is not only martial arts classes, but also general fitness classes. Wilkes Academy has changed lots of things about me, but most importantly it has given me a life that I previously thought was out of my reach. Needless to say, I would recommend them to not only the serious athletes, of which there are many in the Academy, but also to the people like me that need the guidance to change their lifestyle and lose weight and get fit.

To let my son join Karate TAS - GOJU, was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My son has been training under Sensei Dan Ridler since February 2014 and he loves it. His attention span and focus were never very long, but NOW.... He is so composed, focused and a lot fitter. the training sessions are fantastic, filled with discipline, respect, exercise, fun and comradery. money well spent, by far!!

I was in Australia recently on holidays and had been told of Martin day Defense Courses. On a friend’s recommendation I decided to enroll in private lessons due to the course actually being closed for the Xmas break but Martin still gave me his time to learn basic defense skills knowing my interest and Martin’s enthusiasm to impart his knowledge to people. Martin also took into consideration my level of fitness and my age of 50+. I don’t move as I use to, no more a bull at a gate!! Given Iv no fighting or defense ability I found the training very controlled which enabled me to relax into the physical side of the training. Martin explained the processes and then the practical side developed along with the assistance of his team of trainers. In the short time I had to learn some practical defense abilities I must admit I enjoyed the short program and will endeavor to go back to do more when I’m next back in Australia. I learnt good practical defense moves in a limited time. A thoroughly enjoyable start to defense training, look forward to more training secessions to come and thanks to Martin and his team Kind Regards G. Davis

Great Dojo! We can't fault it. They are genuine, honest and love kids. Their caring nature is fantastic. Teaching is second to none and Sensei Danesh has a very encouraging way of bringing correction. He reflects the true spirit of Karate and has a unique approach of teaching. We highly recommend this Dojo!

01-12-2015

A great caring family community dojo. Sensei Dhanesh is a passionate teacher who encourages all his students in a positive and caring manner. My children not only learn karate skills but have grown immensely in confidence and self respect. The classes are for all ages and skill levels which is fantastic. Highly recommend this dojo.

01-12-2015

Our children have been involved with the club for the past ten months, and absolutely love it. I can only describe it, as like a second family to them, and the atmosphere within the club is so warm, friendly and full of laughter. Dhanesh is without doubt, the most wonderful and patient teacher that I have ever seen, he is so encouraging with all of the children. It has been fantastic to see the club grow so much, over the last year.
