Ballina Kyokushin Karate

Ballina Kyokushin Karate

Karate is more than physical exercise or a method of self-defence; it is a way of life, it is something that can be enjoyed by anyone.

The hardest thing about learning Kyokushin Karate is getting to training! The word Kyokushin literally translates as “the way of the ultimate truth”. While there are many interpretations of this, basically it means the further you go down the path of Kyokushin Karate the more you begin to learn about yourself.

Kyokushin Karate is Budo (fighting) Karate and not sport karate. It is practical and readily useable in everyday life. It is a style noted for its power and effectiveness.

Kyokushin Karate improves your health including dramatically improving cardiovascular health. Your resting heart rate will come down and your ability to maintain an increased heart rate will increase. You'll breathe better, sleep better, and even feel an increase in energy and effectiveness all day long.

Training for kids is fun and safe, yet at Ballina Dojo their role models will often be older, mature, disciplined, and goal-oriented.
