Schedule

This program focuses on helping participants build a strong foundation in Karate/ Kudo by focusing on hands-on application of formal Karate/ Kudo syllabus for practical self-defence, sparring, and personal empowerment.

Practice involves the study of body mechanics, techniques, and concepts in unarmed combatives (i.e. striking, grappling, takedowns, joint manipulation), incorporating principles-based training.

This program is contact-intensive blending solo and partnered practice and is run with safety and respect at its core- using protective equipment and upholding the spirit of Japanese martial arts culture (budo).

The Program has been designed based on the official syllabus for Ashihara Karate and Kudo Daido Juku, as accredited by their respective global governing bodies- New International Karate Organization (NIKO) and Kudo International Federation (KIF).
