It is with great pleasure that I would like to share the news of Kyoshi Anthony Ryan being named the Executive Director of Curriculum Development and Coaching within GKR Karate.

Please join me in congratulating Kyoshi Anthony who has been a dedicated Martial Artist and full-time karate practitioner for over 35 years. As a 7th Dan black belt with GKR, Anthony has spent decades not only honing his craft in Australia but has travelled countless times to various parts of the world including Okinawa, Japan, China and Europe to further develop his karate knowledge, understanding and skill.

In his role, Kyoshi Anthony oversees GKR Karate’s development in terms of Instructor resources, manuals, and class curriculums. He is also involved in developing online educational content for GKR Karate’s very own Online Karate and Fitness Academy, teaching all aspects of karate – from White belts to Black belt and beyond.

As a 5-time Individual Gold Medallist in GKR Karate World Cups, Kyoshi Anthony will continue to share his wealth of knowledge and experience, training our top Tournament Coaches in the latest methods and strategies for tournament karate.

I am confident that the high standard of karate within GKR will continue to develop under Anthony’s ongoing leadership and coaching influence. CONGRATULATIONS ANTHONY!

Why GKR Karate?

GKR creates the right environment for our members to train in. Although we promote self defence and fitness, our style also fosters positive values, confidence, discipline, focus and well being. GKR teaches you not only how to punch and kick, it teaches you to be a better person.

We encourage students of all ages, from all walks of life to join our club and be part of the supportive ‘family’ that is GKR Karate.

Self Defence

Synonymous with martial arts, self defence and inner self confidence are one of the key takeaways from regular training. From the age of 5 GKR teaches basic self defence and extraction moves, continuing right through to our senior grades.
Weight Loss

Karate is a great way to lose or maintain a healthy weight, with most classes consisting of aerobic, stretching and toning activities. For those who may not have exercised in some time, GKR provides a supportive environment where students can train at their own pace and physical ability. Our classes are a mixture of men, women and children of all ages.
Focus

Many parents are keen to see their children develop greater focus and discipline through their martial arts training, and GKR’s classes provide the perfect environment. Instructors teach in a respectful and supportive atmosphere through karate inspired games, activities and drills.

Family

GKR promotes a family environment, encouraging kids, parents and relatives to all train in the same class. Staying a few karate grades behind your children, will encourage them to continue a regular training program.
Respect

As a traditional Japanese martial arts, karate promotes respect to our instructors, our club, each other and most importantly ourselves. This is a key part of your learnings as a student of GKR karate.
Friendships

Although karate is considered a solo sport, it is still the foundation for many life long friendships. Classes include games and partner work where children and adults alike take the opportunity to learn about and bond with their fellow class mates.
