Club Highlights & Spotlights
Goodbye 2025, Hello 2026!
As we close out 2025 and look ahead to the New Year, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our members.
Your dedication, friendship, and shared laughter have brought so much meaning to our year at Phoenix Karate. From the first bow‑in to the last bow‑out, from routine classes to memorable occasions, you’ve helped shape a dojo grounded in respect, community, and growth.
As we step into another new year, we’re grateful for the strong, dedicated community we’ve built together, and we look forward to continuing our journey with everyone who trains alongside us in the year ahead.
May the coming year bring you health, happiness, and many empowering experiences.
A Historic Milestone for Our Club
We are proud to announce the awarding of our first black belt! A moment that marks both personal triumph and club history.
Congratulations to Gordon Delano, who has dedicated the past five years to rigorous marital arts training. His journey has been one of discipline, perseverance, and passion.
After several hours of testing across multiple sessions, Gordon has demonstrated not only technical skill but also the resilience and spirit that embody the true essence of martial arts.
This achievement is a testament to Gordon’s hard work and an inspiration to us all. He now joins the long line of black belts of our lineage; martial artists whose dedication and mastery have carried the art forward and made every step of progress possible. We couldn’t be prouder!
Clunk. Thud. Giggle?
They say time flies when you're having fun, and boy does time fly!
We bow in and stretch out. The air fills with the sound of limbs striking pads, there's laughter, more striking. Time to switch up. Now someone's being thrown. Laughter erupts from another pair. The evening slyly slips by.
Techniques are quietly becoming second nature, beyond the awareness of their practitioners. We bow out. There's friendly chit chat and the fighters depart as friends happily declaring, See you next...
Strikes & Deflections & Take-Downs, Oh my!
On nights the mats come out, something shifts. For some, it’s the pads. For others, the ‘beating sticks’. For me? It’s the mats.
We train for self-defence, and in doing so, we tap into karate’s roots—not just strikes or throws, but a full system of movement, intention, and adaptability.
Each move is precise. Each landing, controlled. There’s a quiet intensity to it. A rhythm. A trust. And yes, a whole lot of fun.
We move, we learn, we laugh. And sometimes, we fly—just for a moment—before we’re (gracefully, we hope) surrendered to the mat.
