    Not only my son has learnt great Karate skills, but also he has become more disciplined as well.
    Stacey, Nichols and other coachers are very motivated and know how
    … More to keep kids entertaining throughout the session.

    Highly recommend Goshukan Karate, a family owned business. Don’t worry much if your kids are introvert, Nicolas Coach would definitely help with this. All coaches are super friendly, always bring kids hyper fun, the way they teach junior … More class is funny and kids can easily remember the movement and as well as where you kids can learn discipline and team work.
    Environment is 100% clean and spacious, no stinky smell.

    I'm a high school principal and my two children have been attending Goshukan Karate Academy at Seven Hills for over four years, each since the age of 4, and the educational and physical agility benefits of Goshukan Karate Academy have … More been profound and invaluable - and I've seen my children flourish at school as a consequence - far surpassing the benefits of tutoring. The skills that my boys have developed through the friendly Goshukan Karate team have translated into the classroom through improved concentration, increased confidence to ask questions, emotional intelligence, collaboration, communication, and physical agility - all thanks to the amazing bespoke care and talent of the entire Goshukan team and their focus on the important concept of growth mindset - these are all transferable skills that have brought about educational benefits. Karate has benefited and complemented my boys' educational skills. I feel like my children have an educational advantage by attending this particular Karate club, even though we live several suburbs away - we choose to come here. Thank you to the Goshukan team for making a difference to many, many young people.

    🥋We have both our daughters attending for the last 2 years.
    ⭐Shihan Stacey and his team are extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
    🥋We have never hesitated to leave our daughters for lessons,

    ⭐ We are very happy with choosing Goshukan Karate Academy

Frequently asked questions

null

What are the benefits of training in karate?

Karate is more than a self defence fighting system. It is a way of life. We are learning a martial art, to build strength in both mind and body, and yet we wish to never have to use the physical component of the art to defend ourselves. Consistent training in karate can develop strength of mind, body, spirit. By developing fighting skills you build confidence, inner security, awareness, respect for self and others. Karate training builds character, it teaches us life skills to help us to overcome challenges, solve problems, embrace opportunities, strive for excellence.

Do I need to be fit to start?

Absolutely not. Karate is a personal endeavour and every student is encouraged to participate at their own pace, with no expectation of fitness or ability.

Am I too old to start?

If you can walk onto the mats you can train in Martial Arts! We have had people start training well into their 50’s and even 60+!

Can my whole family have a class at the same time?

Yes, we have a number of different options to get the whole family (Mum, Dad and kids of all ages) involved, without multiple trips. We have the option of a family class in which parents train in the same class as their kids and complete part of the class by themselves and the other part all together!

What are your class sizes?

Class sizes vary throughout each program and peak time. We abide by recommended instructor ratios which are as follows: Little Ninjas are an average 12:1 and teens and adults are 20 per class (usually with 2 instructors per class).

How long will it take to reach Black Belt level?

It takes approx. 4-5 years to get black belt, depending on how many times you train a week and how committed you are to your improvement.

Do I have to start as a white belt if I have been training in another Goju Style?

What we’re doing is recognising the experience level that people who have already trained in a Goju based karate system and letting them train in their current grade belt until they are ready to be assessed and formally graded to the appropriate grade level in Goshukan Karate. There are many clubs within the same/similar styles or systems today, and just like when you are studying any tertiary education and gain credit points when moving from one course to another, the same can be said for transferring your karate journey from one Kai (school) to another. Speak to us about your situation. Every person is assessed on their own merits and training history.

What is the Australasian Federation of Traditional Karate & Kobudo (AFTK)?

The purpose of the Australasian Federation of Traditional Karate and Kobudo (AFTK) is to promote traditional karate and kobudo throughout Australasia. The AFTK focuses on ethics, technical seminars, workshops and all that is necessary to promote the spread of karate and kobudo in Australasia and to promote friendly beneficial relations between AFTK members.
