Kata of the Month, Ji'in 👊
Although it is no longer in the JKA curriculum we still keep it remembered in Castle Hill dojo.
After 8 dedicated practice sessions, our students took on the challenge of performing Ji'in on their own timing, demonstrating focus, spirit, and growing confidence in the kata.
Performing independently is a big step in Karate development, and I'm proud of everyone who gave it their best effort. Oss!

Friday night we came together for a special farewell dinner for one of our dojo family members before they move back to Japan next week. 🇯🇵
There were plenty of laughs, amazing food, great drinks, speaches and even better company. Nights like this remind us that our dojo is more than just a place to train, it’s a community that supports and cares for one another both inside and outside the dojo.
We’re so grateful for the friendships built through Karate and proud of how the Castle Hill community always shows up for each other. we are wishing you all the very best on your next chapter, you’ll always be part of the dojo family! 👊

Last night we held our May grading at JKA Castle Hill Dojo.
A fantastic evening showcasing the dedication and spirit of our students.
The photos capture a great mix of kihon, kata, and kumite, along with strong focus and plenty of spirit, exactly what JKA Karate is all about.
The grading was overseen by JKAA President Gerald Boyle Sensei and JKA Castle Hill Head Instructor Robin Nicholson Sensei.
A big thank you to Gerald Sensei and Kerrie Sensei for staying the week to support the students before the grading.
Well done to everyone who stepped up and gave their best.
Oss!

Great energy at JKA Castle Hill last night!
We were honoured to train under JKAA President Gerald Boyle Sensei at our advanced session. It was an inspiring session full of strong basics, sharp technique, and great spirit from everyone on the floor.
We are looking forward to another fantastic night of training with Sensei again tonight.
Jiyu Ippon Kumite this week at JKA Castle Hill
A key focus in our training is don’t give away your movement too early.
Too often, attackers “announce” their intent by leading with the attack making it easier for the opponent to read, react, and counter. Instead, we’re working on holding the attack until the last possible moment, staying relaxed and composed, then committing decisively.
Stay calm and centred
Control maai (distance)
Move without telegraphing
Strike with intent at the right moment
The goal is to catch your opponent off guard not by being faster, but by being smarter and more precise.
Strong basics, sharp timing, and disciplined ex*****on. This is JKA.👊
