Williams Family Karate Academy - After School Program

After School Program

Karate is more than just kicking and punching... There are many positive benefits for your children!

Our After School program started in 2002 when we became involved in the School Enrichment Program at the Atwell Primary School which provided activities for students immediately after school. We now have our After School classes at our Dojo in Jandakot on Wednesdays and Fridays.

We also have After School Karate in Yangebup which is held at Mater Christi Primary School. This program started in Term 2, 2004 after discussions with Mr. Greg Stinton, the schools principal and classes are held at the school twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the under cover area.

The After School Karate program is exactly the same content as our standard children's program except that it is held straight after school and only during the school terms.

Would your children benefit with increased Self Confidence?

Karate teaches discipline which will provide a solid foundation from which your children will develop strong character. While studying Karate is fun, children will be learning important lessons in values and respect which will shape how they view the world around them. And even though we teach to avoid confrontations, if the need arises, your children can be secure in their knowledge of how to defend themselves from physical harm. This is the power derived from Karate.

Karate builds self confidence. It is a physical and demanding "sport". Children who participate and progress in Karate will develop a positive attitude that they can take with them to accomplish other important tasks and face other challenges in their lives. Williams Family Karate Academy is dedicated to making your child feel accepted as well as motivated.

We focus on providing children with a positive atmosphere where they can build their confidence, even after a bad day at school or playing sport. It's the place where they'll find support when they feel down or discouraged. We are ready and able to give your children the additional support to face life's challenges and stay on the right path.

Would your children benefit from increased Self Discipline?

In addition to the structure that you provide at home, Karate also provides your child with discipline. This involves coming to class on time and following the school rules and policy. It also concerns learning to respect themselves and others, which is an important goal that we strive to instil in our students. We teach children not to feel that they can't complete a task because it's too hard or because they've failed the first time. Instead we teach them to relax, regroup and give 100 percent effort again. The discipline that they learn helps them to stay focused and work hard to accomplish their goals.

Would you children benefit from learning Self Defence?

Knowing that your child can defend themselves if a problem arises is another benefit that your child will derive from Karate training. Karate does not just teach kids how to defend themselves physically, but more importantly, how to avoid dangerous situations. Avoiding the situation rather than being in a physical confrontation is an important concept that we teach both directly and indirectly.

Would you like to give your children the edge in other extracurricular activities?

Karate is a tool that can help your child in other sports and activities, as well as keeping them in shape and healthy. Many drills that we practice enhance skills that they will need in other extra curricular activities. For example, proper balance and hand eye coordination are skills essential in sports such as football, soccer, netball, basketball, tee ball and baseball. Karate can give your child the competitive edge.

Could your children benefit from Karate training?

Through Karate, your child will learn many valuable lessons that will help them throughout their lives and the best thing about it is that it's fun. They may not even realise that they are learning these "values". It is not only enjoyable for the kids, it's also enjoyable for the parents. To watch your children learn new skills and watch them improve will fill you with with pride. Why stay on the sidelines, Karate is an activity that you can do as a family. It's a way of spending more quality time with your children and that's invaluable in today's hectic world.
