KYOKUSHIN KARATE

🧘‍♀️ What happens in class?

At Chertkov Academy, Kyokushin Karate classes run three times a week and include three core pillars that build well-rounded fighting skills.

Each session blends physical development, discipline, emotional balance, and a deep immersion in martial arts philosophy.

1️⃣ Equipment training

Focus mitts, shields, heavy bags, and makiwara. Students develop precise, powerful strikes, combinations, strength, endurance, and flexibility.

2️⃣ Partner work & sparring

Defence, counter-attacks, fight psychology, and tactics. Contact conditioning hardens the body and builds mental toughness and stamina.

3️⃣ Kihon & kata

Foundational karate technique: classic stances, blocks, and strikes. This component prepares students for belt examinations.

Why this class?

This is Chertkov’s signature method—not just physical training, but a holistic approach to shaping a child’s character. All three types of training are structured systematically, with children’s psychological development in mind. Students regularly compete, take belt exams, and see their own progress.er. This program is designed to help kids strengthen both body and mind, learn respect for themselves and others, and unlock their inner potential.

Age-specific approach

Younger students (5–8 years) learn through play, basic techniques, and team interaction. They build endurance, respect for rules, and self-control.

Older students (9–14 years) follow a structured physical and technical program, develop willpower and strategic thinking, and prepare for belt grading.

About the Coach

Sensei Oleksandr Chertkov—the founder of Chertkov Academy, a 3rd Dan in Kyokushin Karate—has many years of international experience in teaching, preparing champions, and organizing training programs. His approach combines discipline, respect, and a deep understanding of each student.

“Kyokushin isn’t just a karate style—it’s a way of life. It’s a path of building character, willpower, and respect. I teach kids not only to strike hard, but to think fast, act responsibly, and never give up. What matters to me is that every student leaves the dojo better than they came in.”

— Sensei Oleksandr Chertkov
