KOBUDO

KOBUDO PROGRAMS

(Weapons)

Young Ninjas (5-12 Years + Parents)

Adult Kobudo (10+ Years)

A full and exciting Martial Arts Wepaons Program.

 

You will get the opportunity to learn 10 weapons, using solo and partnered forms.  Even though kobudo does draw on basic karate skills, no experience is needed in either.  In fact, many people have used it as a fun and easy way to kick-start their own fitness program.

Young Ninjas

All Ages

Have you ever wanted to be a Ninja?

This program is specifically designed for fun, fun and fun, and gives parents the opportunity to join in and bond with their children.  Even though the focus is on fun, children will learn a strong sense of:

RESPONSIBILITY, RESPECT, SAFETY & SELF CONTROL

 

F.A.Q.

Can parents stay to watch the class?
Absolutely and encouraged.  FYI ... many parents also train.
For courtesy and disruptions, noise needs to be kept at a minimum, hence phones should be set to silent and calls need to be taken outside the training room.
Do you cater for disabled students?
Yes, I commonly train autistic students and NO discrimination is tolerated.
I only ask that you have discussions with myself first so that we can cater for any additional needs.
Can I change classes / days if I want to?

Yes, you can train across all the locations, however the class needs to be applicable for the student's age & level.

Do you offer family discounts?

Whilst we try to keep costs to a minimum, we can offer discounts for multiple family members.

Do I need a weapons license?
Karate - No
Junior Weapons - No
Senior Weapons - Yes, although it is optional.
For a detailed discussion, please contact Sensei Glenn.
How old do I have to be?

Although there are no age restrictions, ideally children from 4+ years (primary school) is a good age to start.

Do you offer personal training?
Yes, in all of the offered programs.
Please discuss in person for times, locations and costs.
What are the class times?

Please see the "Timetable" section on this site

How much does it cost?

The more you train the less it costs!!!

Most people train 2 times a week, hence on our most popular "unlimited package", that is approximately $15 per class.

Do children have to "spar / fight"?

Children are not allowed to spar until they get to yellow belt level and have trained for a minimum of 6 months. We take your safety incredibly seriously and students are required to wear full protective gear including headgear, mouth guards, hand mitts, groin guards and females aged 12 and above will be required to wear chest guards.

Do I need prior experience or a minimum fitness level?
Definitely not.  Please see the descriptions in our individual programs for more details.
