K-1 Striking & Karate Combat Classes – Carbon Gym Geelong

A modern striking system built on tradition and versatility.

At Carbon Gym Geelong, we’re proud to introduce K-1 Striking / Karate Combat—a hybrid martial arts class that fuses the intensity of Kyokushin Karate with the fluid power of Muay Thai and Kickboxing.

Led by experienced martial artists with decades of training and competitive experience across Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, this class brings together multiple striking styles into one well-rounded system that’s accessible, technical, and grounded in real contact.

A Striking System That Blends the Best

K-1 Striking isn’t just a new name—it’s a new approach. Drawing from full-contact Kyokushin roots, the class adds modern striking concepts from Muay Thai and Dutch-style kickboxing. The result is a dynamic program that develops both mental toughness and physical versatility.

Whether you’re working towards competition, expanding your martial arts knowledge, or simply looking to train with purpose, this class offers a structure that challenges and builds from the ground up.

K-1 Striking / Karate Combat combines the discipline of Kyokushin Karate with the power of Muay Thai and the precision of kickboxing, creating a well-rounded striking system suitable for adults and teens of all levels. Whether you’re new to martial arts, cross-training from Muay Thai, or preparing for competition, this class delivers structured sessions focused on technical growth and controlled contact in a supportive, ego-free environment.

Each session is coach-led and centres around partner work, drills, and technique development, with a focus on:

• Strong stances and foundational movement drawn from Kyokushin Karate

• Powerful leg kicks, clinch work, and timing from Muay Thai

• Combination striking and footwork inspired by Dutch-style kickboxing

• Light contact sparring and controlled partner drills

• A consistent training format with clear term-based progression

Our coaches bring over 20 years of training and competitive experience across Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. Their approach is grounded in respect, control, and a genuine passion for martial arts—designed to push students to improve without pressure or ego.

K-1 Striking kicks off in Term 3, 2025, as the latest addition to our growing timetable at Carbon Gym Geelong.

Classes will run from 7:00–8:00pm in Studio 5.
