Kids

The junior classes at Poneke Dojo are insanely popular! Kids between 4 & 16yrs have their own modified syllabus incorporating plenty of fun and good age-specific activity.  But don’t take our word for it, check out our testimonials.

We split the kids into the following developmental levels in addition to our colts classes.

Kids Instructors

Sensei Chris Gower (Sensei simply means teacher) directs all the kid’s classes. Chris is a senior member of the NZKOK and is heavily involved in the continuing development of the NZ syllabus so the students at MVD are always at the leading edge of technical development!

Chris is also a father of two and has a special interest in early childhood development. His challenge is to integrate the best of traditional Japanese training, modern techniques as they evolve internationally and Kiwi kid’s strengths, weaknesses & lifestyles. His classes are physical, challenging, age appropriate and always fun!

Sempai Jamie also regularly takes kids classes.   Jamie and other high grades in Kyokushin are given the title Sempai which means ’senior’.  He has been doing karate since he was 8 years old so he’s got some great insights into the kid’s classes and at 21 it definitely helps the kids think he’s pretty cool!

An important part of the pathway to a Kyokushin black belt involves coaching and teaching so Chris enlists the help of our very capable senior colts to help with teaching too.
