Kick Start Your Life.

We firmly believe that what we learn in the dojo is directly related to how we perform outside of the dojo.

Karate develops the habits of:
– setting and working for goals.
– resilience.
– courage.
– responsibility for personal results.
– a belief that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

It is for this reason that we do not compromise our karate. Belt ranks at Gold Coast Chito-Ryu Karate are earnt not given or just purchased.

Passing or failing a grading is directly related to how the student performs and learns. There are no handouts, just rewards for effort put in and skills obtained.

FAQs

I am a bit shy, unfit, in-active, etc. Is karate right for me?

Yes. Karate is great for everyone and in a dojo you will see all kinds of people. The best thing about karate is it will help you strengthen your weaknesses. If you are shy you will build confidence. If you are extroverted you will learn how/when to temper your enthusiasm as situations dictate.

How many classes should I do each week?

At Gold Coast Chito-Ryu Karate we offer classes 6 days a week plus frequent seminars and events. There are lots of opportunity to train and the frequency depends on your goals. We offer packages for unlimited classes, 2 classes per week and a 1 class per week option.

How fast will I progress through the ranks? How long to get a Black Belt?

Speed of progression depends on many factors including of course training time. The more hours spent training at the dojo and at home the faster you get stronger and better at your karate, however this is only part of the equation. Some people are naturally more gifted in a physical sense so may pick things up faster. Some people pick up the concepts and theory of karate faster than others. Some people just work harder.

In karate the progression is a personal journey, the results and frequency of grading come down to what you do and what is seen as best for you by your instructors.

I have done karate before, do I keep their same belt as my previous style?

There are many different styles of karate with a variety of techniques, philosophies and requirements for different levels. There is also a very wide discrepancy between standards of what is required to obtain a rank. It is for this reason that we follow the traditional philosophy of entering a new style of karate as a white belt. (This is also considered polite in traditional karate schools).

Students with ranking in other styles may be on a fast tracked grading schedule depending on their existing skills, ability to adapt, and of course attitude. After you attend a few classes the instructor will be able to get a good indication of where your training is at and will be able to provide a guide to your likely grading progression path.
