“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.

Sensei Craig
CHIEF INSTRUCTOR

1985Teaching Philosophy
Kakushinkan, the name of our club, is my philosophy. ‘Kakushin’ is an honest effort in anything that you attempt and ‘Kan’ is a place where people can come together to put honest effort into their self improvement.Favourite Thing about Karate at KSK Dojos
The community we have built over the years is what I value most. Watching our students grow and flourish with the support and encouragement of others in the club is the thing I am most proud of. -

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.”
