UNSW Karate Club

It's a bit wet but we are open! Come visit us at the main walkway! And be sure to pop by the uni gym mon-wed 11-12 to see our demonstrations 👊🥋

Congrats to those who graded last Thursday!

Let's keep the momentum and crush the next challenge! 👊

Come visit us at O-Day today! We are outside the UNSW Library near the coffee cart!

Set up and ready for another day! We have a training session this evening from 7pm to 9pm in the UNSW Gym, so if you can't come by today, come by tonight to check out and participate in some Karate!

A good first day of T3 O-week. Come say hi!

ATTENTION: Tonight's training (23/05/24) has been cancelled as all our coaches are currently down with illness. We will see you again next Tuesday. Keep practising your kata!

Konnichiwa Minna! Grading is currently locked in for the 6th of June, two weeks from now.

If you would like to grade please make sure you attend training before then as Sensei will want to see your progress first!

For grading please make sure you do the following on the night:

Bring Your current Belt and Gi and make sure your club badge is sewn on properly.

Bring 2 Litres of water or isotonic drink - You will not have the time to run down to the bubblers and you will be sweating a lot! Also try to avoid eating from about 2 hours before grading or you will feel ill!

Bring all your Sparring Gear! Mouth guard, groin or chest protector, gloves, and shin/instep protectors are required for anyone above white belt!

Bring your Grading Forms! If you need a form Maria-Senpai or myself will bring spares to training. These must be submitted and grading fees paid before Grading night!

Finally; Bring a good attitude! We're here to have fun but we must also show the proper respect and etiquette to the dojo and each other!

NB: Also to reiterate Sensei's point last night. Please make sure your uniform is clean, make sure you wear deodorant, make sure your nails are cut short, and keep your hair tied up out of the way. Hygiene is very important not just for yourself but for others who interact with you!

Congrats to one of our own, Lachlan Armstrong, for his first ever karate competition experience at the Australian Open! Massive effort for both the kata and kumite categories. 👊🥋

久しぶり everyone! We still need volunteers for O-week 5/2-9/2. Please let us know if you can assist this week as it is integral to the continuation of our club.

Hey karatekas! Hope you've all had a wonderful break!

The Club will be back up and running from next Tuesday, 30th January.

The training schedule for 2024 is as follows:
- Tuesdays, 7pm-9pm at Courtside Studio (UNSW Fitness & Aquatic Centre)
- Thursdays, 7pm-9pm at Judo Room (UNSW Fitness & Aquatic Centre)

See you at training! 👊

And that's a wrap for 2023!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

See you all in 2024 👊
