Martial Art Achievement and Merit Badges

There are so many different styles of martial art classes to choose from now-a-days, you have to invest more time and energy into attracting the interest of your next junior student (and their parents). We all know regularly awarding cadets on their progress only serves to make them train harder and retain their interest. So please visit the Martial Arts Badges website to explore how you can use these inexpensive merit badges in your own junior classes to increase the level of service you provide your students.

Sensei Alan Woodhouse of the EGKA Hedge End Dojo has invested a lot of time in creating the Martial Arts Badge website. He can supply all of your martial art merit badge requirements at highly competitive prices and at sensible re-order levels.

Goju Ryu Academy - Kata, Bunkai, Kakie & Kumite Video Instruction Library

Sensei Ernie Molyneux and Sensei Roy have completed the first stage of laying down the complete EGKA Goju Ryu Karate syllabus in a series of short web-videos.

The idea of the library is to provide a convenient and easily accessible resource of online instruction that directly reflects the techniques currently being taught by EGKA–recognised instructors in their Dojos around the Country.

Of course, as Sensei Ernie is a member of the IOGKF Executive Committee, it also means this library will be of relevance to any IOGKF affiliated student where ever they happen to train in the World.

If you visit the website you can view a FREE Street Fighting Self Defence session to get a feel for the way the library works. We include some really sensible advice about why you should avoid street violence, but if you do have to fight Sensei Ernie and Sensei Roy demonstrate some simple and highly effective techniques you can use to defend yourself.

Any current EGKA member can use the ‘JOIN’ procedure to sign-up for the Free 10th Kyu level. Just complete the form that requests your personal information, only select 10th Kyu, and you do not have to proceed any further with the payment section. You will receive a username and password within 24 hours. The content of this entry-level resource is designed to provide the basic information a 10th Kyu will need when they first start training. It nonetheless contains some very useful instruction on Goju Ryu basics and dojo etiquette that any grade may find of interest, if only to see how Sensei Ernie and Sensei Roy approach the teaching of the subject matter.
