Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at bungendorekarate@outlook.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We are located inside the St. Mary's Catholic Hall,  34 Turallo Terrace, Bungendore.


Please look at our timetable tab at the top of the page to find the relevant information on times and days. 


We offer all new students a period of 2 lessons as a free trial, to see whether you are happy with the lesson structure and what is taught. After this period, we discuss cost involved for training fees, registration and uniform. 


 We have no lock-in contract with any training fees.


Our Dojo holds grading examinations three times per year. However, most people aim to grade two times per year. Many other schools hold gradings between 4 - 6 times per year. Having a belt around your waist is one thing, what you can actually do with while it is around your waist is very different. We have attendance, goal setting and belt tip programs in place with all of our class categories to keep you on track and motivated between grading examinations. 

Clubs promising programs such as black belts in 12 months or allowing several gradings per year are giving a false sense of security and not following the traditional methods. Yes it is nice to grade and progress, but we believe if it is worth doing it, it is worth doing right and working towards over an extended period. The traditional path may be longer, but the rewards are better and studies have shown that those training in a traditional martial art are more likely to stick at practicing after achieving black belt, than those who do not.
