Our Story

The Inception of Sora Ryu

Karate is the way of the mind, body and spirit. It is a method of gaining knowledge, strength, technique, critical thinking and active problem solving. Sora Ryu aims to lay out these core foundations and principles for anyone to learn; laid out in progressive steps, with members of associating levels progressing together and growing on a journey. Karate can be practiced alone, with a sparring partner, or with a group; Sora Ryu aims to provide the framework to establish clear goals, high training standards and self-discipline. It is your own path and you must walk it, we simply allow you to see where the road may lead.

Initial steps

We constructed an online space for martial artists to use to enhance and develop their lifestyle. The form and execution of technique that stretches back to the origin of karate, accurate and precise. The first steps are to have the member area ready and easy to follow, and to provide the criteria that builds good habits and a strong foundation for progress. The livestream of classes is available to members to take note and learn should they be unable to attend, or if they are training at home, in another facility, with another dojo, or just tuning in. These lessons can be booked from the member’s area directly and attended at the respective training centre. Grading is a testing method to qualify students according to their development and their level, naturally allowing for progression at different rates comfortable to the individual.

Next steps

We build a shared space for members to train, regular scheduled lessons that can be booked and attended with a focus on progression. We continue to build new training centres and expand our techniques. Grading centres are to be built to test students from multiple training centres and quality them for the next grade. We also have an online store where we are sourcing high quality clothing for training and daily wear, we aim to grow this shop and print more designs submitted by our members. We have a member's store also, where you can pick up equipment such as a Gi or gum shields, from our training centres. We aim to grow this to provide pull up bars, resistance bands and additional training equipment should members require it. Providing training videos to aid with this and to continue to provide more information will result in sustained success and continued growth.
