Jinen Karate Jitsu has its roots in the first karate club in Australia, not many places can lay claim to that.
Karate Jitsu combines Karate with the fine art of Ju Jitsu. It's somewhat of a tricky art, and the instructor Sensei Kym has a million and one tricks up his sleeve. Just when you think you've seen everything, he quickly shows you that there's a lot more to learn.
The classes go for two hours and the workout can get intense. Sensei Kym believes that any less than two hours isn't long enough. You need a good half an hour to warm up, then explore your techniques and learn the syllabus for your belt level, then the last half an hour involves "live training", which includes various forms of sparring.
The club has a very friendly atmosphere and everyone is prepared to offer you support with your training. There are no egos here. A lot of students hold high rankings in other clubs, but happily begin their training again under Sensei Kym's tutelage.
The club also has regular visits from other instructors who teach different styles and the club welcomes the opportunity to explore new ways of doing things. read more
