The Marudao Karate style is founded on the three principles of: Love, Family and Support. It is important that the practice of martial arts is held on this basis, as we are practicing combat arts, however the intention is not of violence. The intention is out of great passion (Love) for the art, and it is necessary that when practicing with others, it is fuelled by encouragement and collaboration (Support), not out of competition with each other. In this way, we are all able to connect through our relationship with the practice, and create a strong, unified community (Family) between the Karateka (students of karate). This particular style of martial arts is a modern hybrid of traditional Karate and traditional Wushu Kung fu. It utilises and develops both strong and grounded technique alongside fluid body movement. It is both a hard and a soft style, making for a wholistic martial art on both a functional level, and as a means to express energy through the body in different ways. What can be learned through this practice? Among a variety of effective techniques (strikes, blocks, kicks & stances), powerful and graceful forms of movement (kata), and practical combat practice (sparring), this martial arts practice offers you the following:

- Discipline of the body and mind; to develop an integrated relationship between them and the ability to direct their faculties with intention and precision

- Physical strength and agility

- Practical self-defence skills

- Capacity to hold intensity in the body; to cultivate and harness powerful energy in oneself

- Ability to direct energy flow in the body. To transition responsively between relaxation and tension, stillness and movement.

- A means through which to express and enjoy yourself

We have exceeded our goal! A massive thank you to everyone who contributed towards our fundraiser. All of your donations, big and small, have enabled us to create something truly invaluable for our Marudao Karate community in Peria valley.
It is a great metaphor for the same work we do in the Dojo - through the energy that each individual puts into their practice, something far greater than the sum of it’s parts is produced - a whole living atmosphere is created which inspires, uplifts and strengthens all of us.
Your generosity is so very much appreciated, and you can be sure that we all will be giving it back through the passion we put into our practice.
To always keep feeding each other in spirit, through this rich and vitalising martial way 👊

To our builders Mark and Raoul, thank you both so much for the hard work, time and energy you’ve put into creating our Dojo roof. You’ve done such an amazing job and produced a stunning work of art to cover us from the rain while we train!
I am truly grateful, this would not have been possible without you 🙏

I’d like to give thanks also to Greig for getting the foundation posts into the ground with me, to Rachel for organising these fundraisers to give us the resources we need, to Garth for your assistance and problem-solving at various stages of construction, and to all others who have contributed in some way to the gradual evolution of our Dojo.
Your contributions have done so much for our wonderful Far North Marudao family, and have supported it to become what it is today ❤️

Here’s to celebrating 3 years old and growing ever-stronger, OSU!
