CLASSES AND TIMES

The following is a brief explanation of the types of classes offered at the Sunshine Coast Dojo, the requirements for participation in them and the times at which they are held.

All classes are taught in line with century-old martial training methodology in conjunction with modern educational research that reflects high ‘effect-size’ learning.

GRAJJ Kids classes:

In our classes, students develop a strong, healthy body and character (coordination, timing, agility, compassion and consideration, cardio-fitness, muscular strength, flexibility, discipline, among other attributes).

The class is open to children from 5 to 12/13 years old (depending on capability and body condition). Students at the age of 13 will participate in a transition phase from the kids class to the adults GRAJJ class over time.

THURSDAY – Kids class: 4:30-5:15pm
SATURDAY – Kids class: 8:30-9:15am

Adults GRAJJ Classes:

Aiki Jiu Jitsu is the primary art taught at the dojo, and focuses on fundamental movements that build a fit, strong and flexible body through effective self defence techniques taught in a safe and supportive way.

Classes involve, striking (punches, hits and kicks), joint locks, and throwing techniques.

MONDAY – 6pm-7pm
TUESDAY – 6pm-7pm
THURSDAY – 6pm-7pm
SATURDAY – 9:30-10:30am

BJJ Class

Carlos Machado Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is an auxiliary art taught at the dojo. The ‘newaza’ (ground fighting) focus of BJJ offers a nice addition to any martial arts training.

BJJ is useful for martial arts practitioners as an adjunct art as it offers the opportunity for game-style problem solving within a rule-based sporting context. Its also a lot of fun!

SATURDAYS – 10:30am-12:00

Adults Shinto Muso Ryu Classes

Open to adult students who demonstrate the desire to deepen their training and life experience in the ‘old ways’. Students in this very technical, traditional Japanese weapons class take on significant commitment through endless patience, sincerity and a willingness to learn things that are completely different from what they have done or learned in previous experiences.

Furthermore, over time students in this class train with the expectation of developing a life based heavily on the Gojō – a value system with ‘benevolence’, ‘justice’, ‘etiquette’, ‘knowledge’ and ‘trust’ at its core.

MONDAYS – 7pm-8:30pm
WEDNESDAYS – 5:30pm-7:30pm
