In essence, the Aussie Kids Karate program is designed to escape the monotony of endless repetition of techniques that are the norm in some martial arts classes.
Our classes have been adapted from a program devised by Sports Karate Australia principals, Rene Rogeveen, 5th Dan and Warren Hickey, 5th Dan. We have found that children learn more quickly through games that have a martial arts bearing and enhances the child’s skill level.
The games range from simple balance exercises to “Power Games” which serve as an introduction to competition training. All the games that are played are designed to develop the skills that are required to excel in the sport in the future.

Having Fun is the main goal of our tournaments. We host a number of tournaments throughout the year - please check the Calendar on this page for the next tournament date. The tournaments host a number of dojos averaging up to 100 contestants on the day.

Our students not only build confidence from competing, they also hone their skills against other dojo's, matching students of similar abilities. Furthermore, the student develops crucial skills from each of the events played throughout the day. Listed below are the typical events held in a tournament. 

Perhaps most importantly, each competitor earns a medal so there are only winners on the day. However, students who perform exceptionally well on the day will qualify for a silver or gold medal placing.

Our Tournaments page contains more information including Club Champions and Hall of Fame on previous competitions

We use merit badges to denote achievement in some area of training, similar to the Scout Movement.  This is designed to give the children short-term goals whilst working towards the long-term goal of gaining their black belt.

Grading days are a way for a student to demonstrate their knowledge and application to a panel of qualified Sensei's. To learn more about our grading program, click here

We hold 4 gradings for the Darling Downs areas throughout the course of the calendar year. This allows  a student to attend at least one grading per year to demonstrate the advancement of their knowledge of the martial arts. As the students advance in rank they must demonstrate better technique and greater knowledge of all aspects of their training. Refer to the Calendar on this page for the next AKK grading day

New members are certainly most welcome to attend our regular classes. There's never a better time to start. The main benefit is to learn self-defence but many other benefits exist including making new friends, improving self confidence, improving personal fitness, balance, speed and many other benefits.
