Judo
The classes themselves start with a period of limbering up exercises followed by the art of break falling or Ukemi. The art of Ukemi is unique to Judo and is the most important aspect of training – the ability to fall correctly when being thrown by someone else in the class or in a real life situation.
A soon as break falls are performed safely, students are introduced to throwing techniques, holds and grappling on the ground. In addition, depending on the age of the student, strangles and arm locks are introduced. As the student progresses through the grading system, the student can reach an extremely high standard of physical and mental fitness. Excess weight will have disappeared, and he/she will have gained prolonged stamina and the ability to function under pressure for long periods. Judo also develops and enhances co-ordination, balance, speed and reflexes.
Judo is for all ages and means literally “Gentle Way” Skill in self defence is naturally developed as the student develops.
Classes are held for anyone
7 years of age upwards.

Goju-Ryu Karate

Thursday – 5.30-7.00pm (Freeman Hall)
Saturday – 3.00-5.00pm (Freeman Hall)
The club teaches Goju-Ryu
karate. Go-ju means hard-soft: the emphasis is to be soft and
yielding when your opponent is being hard or attacking, and to
be strong and powerful when the opponent is soft and committed.
Karate training emphasises
fitness, stamina and self-defence along with development and
strengthening of character. Training typically involves basic
callisthenics, karate movements and techniques, kata and several
forms of sparring.
Whether viewed as a sport,
a means of physical fitness, or a pure martial art, Goju-Ryu
karate offers the opportunity to learn, grow, gain self confidence
and strength of character, along with a powerful self defence
capability.
The Tasmanian Goju-Ryu
Society has been operating at the Hobart Police & Community
Youth Club since the early 90’s.

Bujinkan Taijutsu
Bujinkan Taijustu is the ancient martial art of the Samurai. The Bujinkan Hobart Dojo is a part of the world wide Bujinkan Dojo Organisation, whish is headed ‘Hatsumi Soke’ in Japan. The Bujinkan incorporates the only three Ninjitsu styles in the world, and this is recognised by the Japanese Government. These styles are: Togakure, Ryu, Kumogakure and Gyoshin Ryu. It is the desire of the Bujinkan Hobart Dojo to present to the public the true essence of Ninjutsu and to repair the damage done by the gross stereotypical image shown in most movies and perpetuated by those bogus “Ninja Schools” who exploit the image.
The Dojo offers training in traditional waza (techniques) that are suited primarily for self defence,
weapon skills, and cover a wide spectrum. Training involves
striking and grappling techniques.

Aikido
Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art that was developed by the late master, Morihei Ueshiba (O’Sensei). The methods of training in Aikido are based on O’Sensei’s belief in ‘austere training for the sake of improving the human spirit through tireless polishing and perfection of mind and body’.
In accordance with O’Sensei’s ideals, the art
has been kept separate from sports, in which one person competes
with another. Because winning and losing are never a concern,
trainees are free to dedicate their efforts to practice the
multitude of techniques until rational and unforced movements
flow naturally from within the body.
Students join our national organisation, Aiki-Kai Australia, which is a member of the International Aikido Federation and is the Official Australian Representative Organisation of the Aiki-Kai Foundation & Aikido World Headquarters, Japan. Our organisation was founded in 1965 by Sugano Shihan who continues to train & teach today.
Students of our dojo are
able to train in any Aiki-Kai dojo around Tasmania, Australia &
overseas.
