What Our Club Has To Offer

The black belt is a symbol of strength, compassion and true dedication to Karate-Do. True martial artists look upon the SHO-DAN (First level) black belt as a beginning, not an end; it heralds the student’s birth as a karate-ka. Karate demands constant effort and self-discipline. Karate teaches a multitude of life lessons one of the main ones being - what you put in is what you get out. At Alberton  JKA we take pride in our art and offer:
  • A safe and secure way in which students can learn and train in the martial art known as karate.
  • Professional instruction by qualified and reliable practising karateka (students of the art.)
  • Internationally recognised dan (black belt) grades registered with Dept of Education in Japan.
  • ​​A great way to increase self-confidence and awareness.
  • A chance to interact with karate students and instructors from all over South Africa at the SA JKA National Championships and other championships; to compete internationally.
