Wollondilly Karate - Trifu Dojo

Senpai Sarhn McArthur-Gumbley has been teaching karate for Trifu Dojo Sydney for close to ten years (even longer elsewhere).

In 2013 Sarhn and her family, moved to the beautiful, semi-rural Wollondilly shire - for a tree change and the caring community environment.

During this time, Sarhn was teaching her karate skills to her Little One at home (kind of like a home school Dojo because it was too far to travel to Sydney regularly) but now wishes to pass on these karate life skills to all Little Ones in her community. Hence why Sarhn launched Trifu Dojo in Wollindilly.

Through the teaching of karate skills, Sarhn passes onto children invaluable life skills like strength of character, compassion, respect, self awareness, focus, courage, determination, discipline and confidence.

Sarhn’s teaching style with children is one of gentleness and strength. After many years of teaching children from varous backgrounds, abilities and challenges, Sarhn knows exactly what teaching style is needed at every situation, so to achieve the best outcome for her students. All children are treated with respect, commitment and attention – which is expected in return (not only for all Trifu Karate instructors but also parents and teachers at school).

Most karate dojos don’t teach very young children (under 5 year olds) because firstly it is hard work and secondly because instructors don’t expect very young children to have the ability to focus and learn karate. This is not Sarhn’s or Trifu Dojo’s belief and experience. Certainly class lessons need to be structured differently so that age appropriate lessons can be taught and learnt but parents are often surprised in their child’s attention and development growth after learning karate for a bit of time.

Sarhn is proud and humbled by her small part in teaching Ava McCann (Australia’s youngest karate black belt) as a very young child, in her Little Dragons class (now called Ninjas classes).

Great things are possible with positive belief, practice, hard work and yes sometimes sacrifice too.
