                 Hello!

                 We are Sensei Francisa & Sensei Wayne. Or as we have affectionately been called;

 

                                                                              "The Yin & Yang Team".  

Our teaching methods do indeed draw on the principles of Yin & Yang, which include hard & soft, strong & delicate, and fast & slow. 


Throughout our extensive studies under legendary karate masters, as well as having competed in numerous national and international tournaments, we have learned to practice good sportsmanship in losses, humility in wins, and appreciate how karate is beneficial on so many levels.

Here at Bellingen Karate, we embrace your individual strengths and weaknesses, and design training programs with you in mind.


You will quickly notice how, not only your fitness improves, but also your confidence, self-reliance, and ability to channel energy towards your goals with ever greater determination.

We look forward to welcoming you to our karate club and helping guide you on your Martial Art Journey.

“My many years of training with Sensei Wayne and Sensei Francisa empowered me to travel Australia for physically demanding work opportunities, and to seek new challenges I would otherwise have never considered.

 

I gained mental focus to complete a degree in engineering, and was shown how persistence, commitment and thoughtful goal setting can lead to dramatic improvements in my career, as as well as in my relationships and in overcoming everyday challenges."
