About Australian Kyokushin Karate Association (AKKA)
Our class is open to everyone at all levels.
It covers all aspects of general karate practice and is designed to give a complete panorama of the Kyokushin Karate system for the novice student through to advanced, incorporating modern methodology, fighting strategy and body conditioning.
Each student is allowed to progress at their own rate, and, with the guidance of the instructors, shown how to set personal goals and see them to fruition.
We begin and end each and every class with a brief meditation period to clear the mind and focus on the techniques at hand and whilst we do this in a kneeling position it has no religious connections.

After a complete stretch and warm-up, we move right into basic training, usually beginning with punches, strikes and blocks, then onto legwork and kicking skills.
After which the techniques are then practised on the move in both basic stances and fighting styles.
We then pair off into partners in order to employ these movements in a natural setting with a variety of opponents utilizing focus mitts and pads and pre-set block and attack principles to develop strength, speed and reaction timing for unforeseen situations.
We finish with a cool down employing stretching and callisthenics and finally a calming meditation period to close the class.
