GKR Karate Warringah Mall free self-defence class
PART OF THE CLUB’S ANNUAL STOP DOMESTIC & FAMILY VIOLENCE PURPLE BELT CAMPAIGN
The class will focus on situational awareness, de-escalation techniques, and basic self-defence skills suitable for participants of all ages.
The class is part of a month-long national initiative, which aims to raise funds to support RizeUp Australia’s programs for domestic violence victim-survivors. In 2024, GKR Karate raised over $80,000 for RizeUp across all of its clubs nationally.
Throughout October, GKR students and instructors nationwide will wear specially designed purple belts and campaign t-shirts during regular classes, with all merchandise proceeds going to RizeUp Australia to help fund their rapid response, youth support, and housing programs.
The campaign addresses a critical community need, with Australian statistics showing that one in four women and one in eight men has experienced domestic violence.
GKR Karate instructor Gavin Samin said the partnership with RizeUp Australia reflects GKR’s commitment to using martial arts for positive change.
