KIDS KARATE

Karate is a fun and safe way to get fit, meet new people, and develop skills such as confidence, flexibility, and overall body strength, dedication, discipline, respect, improve your memory, and most importantly, learn self-defence. Anyone can do it, and it’s fun. And it all starts with working on building the strongest muscle in your entire body, your MIND.
Based on both the Traditional Okinawan Karate, along with Japanese Karate traditions and virtues, combined with the latest and most effective training methods, learning both “the Why and the How” for both practical and sport Karate. This program will help kids learn how to engage and work with others, learn how to deal with bullying, giving them mental toughness and overall well-being.

WOMEN'S SELF-DEFENCE
Here at FSGK, we offer an effective Women's Self-Defence system, using some of the latest methods and our unique approach to personal protection that allows our students to build confidence, mental and physical conditioning, and develop the appropriate levels of response to deal with a wide range of areas including: common scenarios in public areas, locks, holds, and pins, weapon attacks, awareness of your surroundings, plus lots more…
FSGK’s Women’s Self-Defence program has been proven effective and is also taught in schools and workplaces across Victoria. You will learn to deal with a number of different areas (including: bullying, harassment, mental well-being, and street encounters). We focus on technique, mindset, and strategy, rather than just brute strength. This makes it useful not just in self-defence, but in all areas of life - for everyone.
