GKR Karate

Welcome to GKR Karate, a family club located at 13 Aberfeldy Avenue, Highland Park, Auckland, New Zealand. As a dedicated establishment, we prioritize fostering sound values and developing strong, humble, and brave individuals, as well as promoting healthy communities.

Karate is one of the most popular and respected martial arts in the world, and at GKR Karate, we believe it is for everyone. From children as young as 5 years old to men, women, and families of all ages, we welcome individuals of all backgrounds to join our club.

While self-defense skills are an obvious benefit of karate training, it also builds confidence, self-discipline, determination, focus, courtesy, self-control, and fitness. Our passionate instructors are committed to teaching and passing on the GKR Karate style and way of life. When you join our club, you become part of a community of like-minded people who share a common goal of personal improvement. Your journey will be unique, and you will be encouraged to train at your own pace. Our instructors and peers will provide a safe, inspiring, and empowering environment for you to develop your skills and reach your maximum potential.

Training with GKR Karate goes beyond physical fitness; it lays the foundations for lifelong personal development and growth. With your membership, you can train at any of our hundreds of locations across the country.

At GKR Karate, we create the right environment for our members to train in. While we prioritize self-defense and fitness, our style also fosters positive values, confidence, discipline, focus, and well-being. We believe that karate teaches you not only how to punch and kick but also how to be a better person.

We encourage students of all ages and from all walks of life to join our club and become part of the supportive "family" that is GKR Karate. Whether you are 5 or 55, karate promotes self-defense, inner self-confidence, focus, discipline, and respect.

Karate is also a great way to lose or maintain a healthy weight, with our classes consisting of aerobic, stretching, and toning activities. We provide a supportive environment where students can train at their own pace and physical ability. Our classes include a mixture of men, women, and children of all ages.

For parents who want to see their children develop greater focus and discipline, our classes provide the perfect environment. Instructors teach in a respectful and supportive atmosphere, incorporating karate-inspired games, activities, and drills.

We also promote a family environment, encouraging kids, parents, and relatives to train together in the same class. Staying a few karate grades behind your children can be a great way to motivate them to continue their training.

As a traditional Japanese martial art, karate emphasizes respect for our instructors, our club, each other, and ourselves. This respect is a key part of your learning as a student of GKR Karate.

Although karate is considered a solo sport, it is also the foundation for many lifelong friendships. Our classes include games and partner work, providing opportunities for children and adults to learn about and bond with their fellow classmates.

GKR Karate brings the exciting martial art of karate to everyone. We are passionate about sharing our skills and knowledge, and our aim is to inspire and empower people to reach their maximum potential through the consistent practice of karate. Join us and become part of a family club dedicated to fostering sound values and developing strong, humble, brave individuals, and healthy communities.
