This is the official page of Eagles Karate, Despatch and Bluewater Bay branch. Eagles Karate is based on the teachings and methodology of the Japan Karate Association of the 1960's through to the early 1980's when the JKA was at its technical peak and under the leadership of Masatoshi Nakayama. We are affiliated to the world body WORLD JKA KARATE ASSOCIATION (WJKA) and to Traditional Shot
okan Karate (TSKSA). WJKA is an organization that practice traditional Shotokan karate who wish to preserve the values and principals that made Shotokan karate the paramount karate style through out the world. Eagles Karate presents you with an opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and groups while being able to share information with each other regardless of race, religion or nationality. As an organization, we endeavour to promote the understanding and technical enhancement of Shotokan karate. Above all else, we believe that karate is a martial science that trains the practitioner to be peaceful, yet has the capability to terminate an opponent with a single blow. Nevertheless, these physical aspects are just the vehicle, but not the journey itself. This journey is based on Bushido where the body and mind are developed concurrently through training in kihon, kumite and kata. Hence the practitioner learns to both control and to relinquish control to the movements until the techniques are performed without thought while remaining focused. In essence, the body remembers how to move while the mind remembers how to be still. As a result, one becomes the embodiment of true karate because this method of training exemplifies a natural and effortless action where peace is possible through the perfect unity of mind and body. For all individuals who understand our philosophy and wish to practice traditional Shotokan karate in the manner described above, you are welcome to join Eagles Karate. On behalf of Eagles Karate we thank you for your interest in our organization and extend a warm welcome and best wishes for your karate journey. Shaun Gough
