I started Karate when my friend suggested this club to me. Parents signed me up, and I
made the decision to stay. I’d say it has been a long and fun journey so far.

I’ve made so many great friends along the way.

Karate has helped me become more disciplined, motivated, and positive when facing
everyday challenges.
My Favourite Part of Karate:
I really enjoy the interaction—training with others, learning together, and being part of a
supportive group.
Why I Recommend Karate Over Other Sports:
Karate builds not only physical balance and strength but also confidence, courage, and
strong self-esteem.

I’m currently studying Bachelor of Education in University.
What I Love About Teaching and Training:
Karate helps develop respectful communication skills, which is something I value both
in and out of the dojo.

of course the students who always strive to be better every day. GSK has warm and very
welcoming community.
