Kellie Heywood is the Dojo Manager at GKR Karate Club, and last week she recruited her son Heath to help her run a Karate Kids workshop.
Karate is a sport for all ages that promotes self-defence, fitness, coordination, discipline, and confidence, and can be used as a vital stress relief tool.
Ms Heywood introduced participants to the guard pose.
“We are doing the guard pose. We have our hands up and we’re protecting our faces,” she said.
The GKR Karate Club are hoping to raise funds to support Rise Up when they host a birthday celebration at their new premises on Saturday, October 12, from 10.30am–12.30pm, at Unit 12/15 Innovation Drive, Wallan.
“They are a charity that assists individuals escaping family violence,” Ms Heywood said.
