What types of classes do you run? 

Under 12`s: These classes are designed to develop basic motor skills (like balance and hand-eye coordination) whilst also introducing younger children to the traditional aspects of martial arts. Instructors reinforce discipline and etiquette whilst maintaining a good balance between serious training and games designed to improve their karate. Confidence building exercises and school bullying are also covered. These classes maintain a high instructor-to- student ratio to ensure your child is receiving quality attention. The minimum starting age for this class is 8 years old, with one week of try-outs aligned with the beginning of each school term. Prospective students who do not pass the try-out (these free trial sessions primarily assess attention span and readiness for the strict karate learning environment) are invited to try again at the next intake; there are four intakes per year. 

Adults: Adult classes see a variety of people, from high-school students, university students, working parents, all ranging from their teens to their 50`s - age is never a barrier. Classes are designed to suit anyone in any physical condition, whether you are just looking to get fit, or if you want to be pushed to your limit. Adult classes deal with self-defence scenarios, physical conditioning, mental conditioning and meditation. Teens classes run concurrently with adults but the room is split so that students in the 13yo to 17yo age bracket are primarily working with each other (matched by height and other factors to ensure that teens can train safely whilst also pushing their limits just a little). This way self-defence content can be tailored to scenarios that are likely for each age bracket, e.g., teens focus on situational awareness as well as and school bullying content.    

Advanced: These 2 hour seminars are held in the CBD, providing a central location for all the dojo in the Adelaide branch of the TJKN to meet. Held once every month, these classes deal with a theme that is not typically covered in regular classes, including black belt level techniques, tournament kata, and advanced bunkai (self-defence applications). These classes are limited to coloured belts so that the instructors can provide personal attention to students who already have a grasp of the basics. The topic for the month’s Advanced Seminar is usually announced inadvance, and the seminars are free for all our members.
