Adults Karate

A welcoming place for you to challenge yourself.
Traditional karate for adults is about personal development.

Want to get fitter in both mind and body?

The benefits of karate are greater than you may think.

Even training just twice a week, you will:

  • Become physically fitter and stronger

  • Feel more self confident

  • Learn about self defence and practice skills that actually work

  • Meet other like minded people who become friends

  • Feel greater focus and mental clarity in your everyday life

  • Have greater mobility and flexibility in your joints and muscles

Sensei Craig and his team are great. I was nervous to return after a 23 year hiatus, but they welcomed me with open arms and I'm excited to restart my journey as an adult student 🤩”

“I can highly recommend this club. Craig is the best teacher I have ever trained with. The best in Melbourne. If you want to learn karate I mean real karate that has a long history, this is the club. Love the style and the people. I have trained at many other clubs and styles but this one is the best.”

    Teaching Philosophy
    I’m passionate about making karate fun and engaging for students, guiding them to rise to each challenge, and build confidence that supports them through life; just like it did for me.

    Favourite Thing about Karate at KSK Dojos
    The people and the opportunities for travelling interstate and overseas as a club. Karate trips are like the best school camp ever!

“I have enrolled into this dojo about a nine months ago. I never have trained any martial arts before and wasn't sure I would be able to do it. Sensei Craig and Sensei Aaron helped me a lot, I was surprised how much my body can achieve in such a short time. The lessons are about 45 minutes which works well with my busy lifestyle.

The shukokai style is one of genuine karate styles in the world and is full of amazing techniques. The lessons are fun and can be a bit challenging but Sensei Aaron knows my limits and is able to work around them.”
