Led by 6th Dan Chief Instructor Cheyne McMahon, a WKC World Cup Kumite Champion, our structured program suits complete beginners through to experienced practitioners. Students travel to our dojo on Toohey Road from Moorooka, Rocklea, Tarragindi and Holland Park because there aren't many places nearby where you can learn old-style Okinawan Karate from a genuine international competitor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of Karate for adults?
You get real fitness, practical self-defence and a clear head after class, all while learning a striking art with genuine technique behind it. Most adults tell us the mental calm they build on the mat is the part they didn't expect and now can't do without.
Will I need to purchase any equipment?
Not to get started. Gym wear covers your trial. We run a pro shop on site, so once you're a member we'll sort your gi, belt and anything else you need without you having to hunt around.
Is Karate safe?
Yes. Every class is run by qualified instructors who scale drills to your level, and beginners train with control rather than being thrown into hard contact. You set the pace, and nobody pushes you past where you're ready to go.
What should I wear to my first class?
Comfortable gym wear is fine for your first class. Join during the 2-week trial and the gi (uniform) is free, and we'll sort the belt so you're properly kitted out.
How often should I attend?
Two classes a week is plenty to build steady progress and start earning belts. Come more often if you love it. The timetable gives you options that fit around work and life.
How much does it cost?
Book your trial: $49 for 2 weeks (save $81), which lets you train properly before committing to anything. Once you've had a taste of the classes, we'll sit down and walk you through the membership options so you can pick what suits you. No pressure, no surprises.
