Why should you sign your child up at Newcastle Karate?

Here’s what your child will get from training Karate with us:

Improved Learning Outcomes

Learning karate contributes to an improvement in learning outcomes across all key learning areas (KLA’s) as students are required to demonstrate self-discipline, focus and the ability to follow explicit instructions. The holistic nature of this program assists in achieving clarity of the mind, hence the link between practising karate and improving learning outcomes.

Personalised Progress Focus

With one Black Belt instructor for a maximum of five kids, your child receives exceptional attention in every class. This leading ratio means they are never lost in a crowd and can develop confidently towards their own goals, while also working towards the outcomes you want to see as a parent.

Functional & Practical Skills

Newcastle Karate delivers a functional program that not only improves student fitness and coordination but teaches them self-defence skills that are undeniably, invaluable. With an instructor ratio of one black belt to a maximum of five children, the classes provide outstanding supervision and support. These outstanding staff to student ratios ,ensure each child can work towards both their personal goals and those set by their parents, so no student gets lost in the crowd.

Improved Body Coordination

Karate challenges the entire body, developing power, coordination, balance and agility. These are something not often found in other sports available to children in this age group.

A Positive State of Mind

The encouraging coaches, instructors, parents and students create a supportive circle that helps your child thrive. We focus on bringing out their best and helping them reach new heights. Our friendly, family-oriented environment keeps your child motivated, confident and in a positive frame of mind.

Skills in Self-Control and Emotional Regulation

The Newcastle Karate program focuses on teaching students the importance of self-discipline to control their actions at all times. They learn to control their body, their words and tonality, and manage their emotions, helping them respond calmly and confidently in any situation.

Improved Social Skills

Your child will learn to interact with different people at such a young age.

Recognition of the Previous Ranking

If you have previous rankings in another recognised martial arts discipline and have the supporting documentation, we will recognise your previous training so that you can continue what you have started, no wasted effort and time.

Increased Confidence

For some children, self-confidence does not come easily. The Newcastle Karate program aims to improve students self-confidence via encouragement, positive reinforcement and individual recognition when they achieve each grading goal.

testimonial quotes

I recently wrote to Sensei Mark and his team to thank them for how they teach, help and assist my twin grandsons who have a disability. I was very impressed with Sensei Mark and his team because they teach in such an inclusive way, make adaptions for my grandsons disabilities and help them to maximize their abilities. What impresses me most about Sensei Mark and team is their ability to reach out to everyone and present this Dojo as a place of learning and personal growth. A warm place to be!

My son is really enjoying Newcastle Karate. The trial sessions were a great opportunity to see if he liked it and now he goes 3 days a week. He loves training, sparring, learning new skills and developing his technique. The senseis are welcoming and supportive, and he would go everyday if he could :)
