Zenryoku Martial Arts

Zenryoku is Martial Art with a strong focus on realistic self-defense. It incorporates Karate, Kickboxing, Boxing, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu and Weapons. Classes go for an hour and cater for Adults & children from beginners to advanced martial artists. Each class starts with light fitness and stretching.

We believe in a strong focus on discipline in training. We have the traditions of bowing in and out of classes and following all Dojo rules. The techniques taught in our art are focused on reality and not what looks impressive. We do not follow a lot of the traditional stances and striking positions for the reasons that they can be ineffective in self defense.

Zenryoku was founded by Gerade Wade and Jason Harris their focus in developing the style was to create a Martial Art has traditional values whilst using  modern techniques for self defense. The head instructor of the Port Macquarie Dojo Jason Harris has 28 years exp in combat arts he was a security guard in licensed venues for 8 years and this is where he has learnt a lot of techniques that can be applied in reality, in a safe way to avoid excessive damage to yourself or your attacker and enabling you to defend yourself quickly and effectively. Jason is also a professional Mixed Martial arts competitor and won 3 titles in Kickboxing. All this experience over the years has allowed Jason to develop an art that is easy to learn along with being extremely effective. Zenryoku is combination of several arts some being Karate, boxing, kickboxing, Wrestling, Judo & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Zenryoku for Juniors

A lot of focus is put on respect with the juniors. All students are expected to follow all rules within the style be it in the Dojo or not. If any students are found to be using their art in any other way than self-defense they will not be permitted to train anymore.

Stranger danger and bullying are the main elements taught to the juniors. As a realistic style we understand that a lot of students are physically too small to defend themselves against an adult. This is why we focus on such things as knowing where to get help, keeping distance from strangers and making sensible decisions. Bullying is an epidemic these days so we focus heavily on this as well teaching how to effectively avoid confrontations and if they have to defend themselves doing it without inflicting excessive damage to the attacker. The juniors are taught a combination of Karate, boxing, kickboxing, Wrestling, Judo & Jiu Jitsu.
