Why Karate?
MENTAL DEVELOPMENT
Karate helps build confidence, focus, clear thinking and decisiveness.
MORAL DEVELOPMENT
Karate has strong internal benefits, helping instil patience, discipline, perseverance, understanding and open-mindedness. It builds confidence, develops self control and increases calmness, courtesy and people. All which will aid students in everyday life.
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT
Physically karate is excellent for the heart, builds strong bones and bigger muscles, creates resilience and makes the body less susceptible to sickness and injury.
This adds a strong foundation to their character and brings them balance and perspective at an age where these are needed most.

What is JKA?
The JKA (Japan Karate Association) was founded in 1949 with its Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. JKA are famously known as the Keeper of Karate's Highest Tradition and one of the most prestigious and largest Karate organisations found in over 100 countries worldwide.
Here at Bribie Island Dojo we study the traditional Shotokan method where Karate is not a sport but an art aiming to unite body, mind and spirit.
Shotokan karate is one of the most widely practiced forms of karate in the world today, and one of the most traditional. Introduced to Japan by Supreme Master Funakoshi Gichin, Shotokan puts heavy focus on three main elements:
KIHON (basic techniques),
KATA (forms),
KUMITE (sparring)
Together these develop a range of powerful and dynamic techniques and a well rounded Karate-Ka.
