Everyone is welcome to a free trial class to see if we're the right school for you! We accept all students and Sensei Mike works very closely with parents and guardians to ensure every student's individual learning needs and training goals are met.
Before receiving your karate uniform, it's best to wear comfortable sports clothes. Footwear isn't necessary as we always train barefoot. Please also bring a drink bottle, as well as a jumper for after class when it's cold.
We have a seated viewing area on stage for parents to stay and watch. For anything else, our motto is "any questions, just ask!" Sensei Mike is always available at kids@karatecentral.com.au or via the Contact page.

GRADING INFORMATION
Gradings are held at the end of every term, and there are no additional costs to grade or buy new belts. All students attempt their grading each term, with senior Karateka grades (3rd kyu brown belts and above) being invited to attempt their next kyu. Each class uses a separate grading system tailored to the students' learning goals and age level.
Karateka students also additionally receive progress reports on their fitness through participation in our Beep Test program, which runs twice per term.
All graded students also receive a formal report to provide feedback on their progress and goals each term in order to best support their learning.
