Origionally Renshi Glen Doecke open his martial arts club at Para Vista in early 1990 and started out with 4 junior students, over the years the class grew and eventually in the mid 90's Renshi was forced to split the class in two sessions, juniors, followed by the adults, due to the increasing numbers. The club has steadily grown since then with many reaching black belt and above.  he then moved to the Modbury Dojo in 2007. The classes run on Wednesday nights, kids karate from 6 till 7pm and the adults karate from 7pm till 8.30pm.

The kids martial arts class has generated allot of interest very quickly, and has built a good strong foundation of kids dedicated to learning and progressing in the martial arts. The kids class focuses on skills needed in every day life, balance, confidence, strength, focus and discipline while having fun and getting fit. The self defense aspects focus on every day scenarios and how to deal with them, school yard bullies, street smart self defense and of course stranger danger. The kids karate syllabus was developed to specially suit the needs of kids, and has proven very successful in the child's development.

 

 

Some people think teaching martial arts to kids is just teaching them how to fight, this miss-conception couldn't be further from the truth. The martial arts gives the kids a sense of confidence that allows them to spot the warning signs of trouble and take evasive action before the trouble starts, the skills they learn on the physical side of the art are clearly explained that they are not allowed to be used for fun, or showing off, they can only be used when they are in danger of being hurt and there is no one else (an adult) around to help them, the last resort.

The adults class at Modbury has also built itself up with a wide range of students from all walks of life, men, women, young and mature students. Makoto Ryu karate is unique in the techniques taught can be adjusted to suit the individual attributes and abilities, this allows the students to perfect the moves that suits their own needs and perfect them into a working self defense system. The adults classes are more intense and involved than the kids class and students find it very challenging. The adults classes also incorporates weapon training both traditional and modern in a controlled environment.

Glen believes the major strengths of Makoto Ryu is the endless search for new and better ways of learning, teaching and applying techniques, he currently hold a level 2 certificate in NCAS (National Coaching Accreditation Scheme) run by the Australian Sports Commission http://www.ausport.gov.au/coach/ncas.asp and is keen to keep progressing within the scheme.
