Karate is not only about learning self defence. It is a martial art that fosters confidence and self awareness through diligent training and a supportive environment.

A class for every age/level
Group Classes
Our kid’s karate program is ideal for children starting at 4-years old. We know that all children learn and develop at a different pace and our instructors individualise training for each student.
For our slightly older children and teenagers we work within the group structure with a focus on progress, rather than comparison.
As you continue with your Karate journey and progress in ability and rank you will be invited to join more advanced classes.
Our Adult Karate classes provide you with a friendly, relaxed and well-structured atmosphere to practice and build on the foundations of karate.
Our Cardio Warrior fitness class blends pad work, karate and aerobic training to increase fitness, strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility.
