What is Karate?

"True karate is this: that in daily life one's mind and body be trained and developed in a spirit of humility, and that in critical times, one be devoted utterly to the cause of justice."
-- Gichin Funakoshi

At Kando Karate we teach the Karate style of Shukokai Karate, which translates as “a way for all”. As well as traditional Japanese Karate, various other martial arts, such as grappling, kickboxing, and escrima (stick fighting), have been melded into our training to create an effective and interesting syllabus.

Kando Karate has been teaching classes to children and adults for 10 years, and is part of the Australian Karate Federation (AKF), and Karate Victoria, which are Government recognised Karate Organisations.

At Kando we believe that karate is a way to bring out the best in people, especially children. Your child will learn so much more than to just punch and kick! As well as teaching a traditional Japanese karate, we also believe in the amazing benefits karate has for fitness, self-defence and personal development.

In today’s society of drugs and peer pressure on younger people, it is important that children and adults can be part of a club and environment where support, camaraderie, and “esprit décor” are an integral part.

Martial arts will also reinforce those old fashion values such as respect, discipline, goal setting and commitment in a structured and fun environment.
