GKR Karate Highland Park Prime is a full-time karate dojo at 13 Aberfeldy Avenue in Highland Park, Auckland. The dojo is part of GKR Karate, a family club that has been running for more than 40 years and has thousands of members training each week across New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. Its classes take children from as young as three, as well as men, women and families. The dojo has training mats, mirrors, spectator seating and a range of equipment, and it runs a wide choice of class times to fit around work, school and family.
Students learn self-defence from the age of five, and the classes include aerobic, stretching and toning work, which the club says suits people who have not exercised for some time. GKR says a membership lets students train at any of its locations across the country. Parents often enjoy seeing their children develop focus and discipline through the classes. The club's approach is to let each student train at their own pace, with instructors who teach the GKR style and its values.
