A new Karate Club – why the change?
Karate is my passion and my craft. It always has been and always will be.
At 12 years of age I was taken to my first ever karate class at the local Shotokan Karate Club. I fell in love with karate – the dojo etiquette, the respect and courtesy, the mystery of becoming a black belt ‘master’.
I have spent the last 35 years developing my skills and growing as a person with karate as a foundation of everything that I have done and achieved.
I want to continue to grow and I need to feel confident that the true art of Karate and its amazing benefits are being explored and shared consistently and accurately with every individual student. My realisation is that the only way I can really achieve this is to take full responsibility for the training, culture, and structure.
My promise is excellence in Karate – develop what works – discard what doesn’t. I unashamedly embrace the essence of building strong individuals – mind body and spirit. To some this may be a cliché, for me it’s everything.
For me this is Next Level Karate. The focus of our club is to develop a training curriculum that follows the teachings of traditional karate while at the same time embracing modern training concepts and ideology that will push the boundaries of personal endeavour and constant improvement in all students. We aim to train with more awareness of what we do, how we do it, and most importantly, why we are doing it. Every training drill must be principle based and purpose driven. It has to have meaning, and we must stay aware to what the meaning is so that we can remain inspired to pursue excellence in our training and development of skill and mind set.
Our ‘Train the way you fight, fight the way you train’ concept means we teach Karate that works, no wasted effort, no irrelevant techniques. The physical training will make you strong in mind and body, the learned fighting skill will make you effective, confident and humble and have a powerful, positive, calming effect on your entire life.
Our website is the showroom for the club, and the blog will be the communication tool to share the progressive thread of info that will help to develop our mind and body by sharing training ideals, tips for skill development, and everything else that will be useful and benefiting to your karate and personal development journey.
I invite you to subscribe to the blog and join the community of passionate karate-ka.

Both of my kids attend Goshukan. I love that the instructors are very friendly and patient and make the sessions fun for kids. They adapt the session to the kids in the class, and the activities are in the form of fun & games.
But they … More also built in key learnings about teamwork, personal safety, and self-protection.
Thank you, Goshukan team. 😊
Update: 6 mths on, and kids still love their karate. Instructors are amazing. I could certainly learn some patience from them myself. Thank you, Goshukan Sevn Hills 😀 -

Coming to Goshukan has been the best decision for my daughter. She really needed to focus on her health and wellbeing as well as her confidence.... Since starting at the Academy she has completely transformed her outlook and holds herself … More with so much more self certainty and has goals that she is reaching in a supportive, welcoming, knowledgeable, disciplined yet friendly environment. All of the instructors are incredible and I can't wait to start classes myself now.. thankyou Goshukan!

I joined Goshukan Karate two months ago, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. From day one, I’ve been welcomed warmly by the instructors and the community. The teaching is highly professional, and the instructors are not only … More friendly but also ensure that discipline and decorum are always maintained.
The techniques taught are very realistic and so useful in real life.
The place is clean, well-kept, and organized, creating a great environment for training. I truly enjoy every session and highly recommend Goshukan Karate to anyone looking to learn martial arts in a positive and structured setting. -
