Illawarra Karate Academy

Last night was a special training session. We hosted a dozen men from The Barstool Brothers for their monthly activity. It was a chance for men to connect, share space and let off a bit of steam. We did some kihon and a small example of kata bunkai. Then we got stuck in bag work followed by combinations drills...and of course a bbq after, with boerie rolls!

At Illawarra Karate Academy we stand against . Members of Karate Australia are taking action and saying

Confidence in karate starts with small steps: learning a stance, practising a technique, trying again after mistakes.

That same confidence can help young people stand tall when faced with bullying.

Karate teaches students to believe in themselves, use their voice and know they are not alone. 🙌
