What Is Karate?
Karate is one of the most popular of all the Martial Arts, dating back to the Okinawan times where it was developed for the locals to defend themselves against the tyranny of mainland Japan. As they were banned from equipping themselves with traditional weaponry, the locals had to learn how to defend themselves using only their bare hands. Moving forward several decades karate was popularised and introduced to mainland Japan in a modernised as more holistic self defence system and as a way of life for personal empowerment and character growth.
Today karate is practiced by millions of people around the world. There are 4 main traditional styles - Goju Ryu, Shotokan, Shito Ryu, Wado Ryu. We are Goju Ryu and are members of the Japan Karate Federation (JKF) Goju Kai, as well as members of the Australian Karate Federation (AKF)
Why learn Karate?
The three main reasons people choose to learn karate are:
Yet there are many other values and benefits that go beyond the initial ones listed above. Karate is unlike anything else that you can do as you start by learning the movement and developing skills and then as you delve deeper into what it is all about you become fascinated with learning more and building and strengthening your mind and body.
Everyone starts their karate journey as an excited beginner and they quickly fall in love with the process of learning new skills, understanding oneself, building strength of mind, body and spirit.

Testimonials
Allan Dabbagh
Stacey Karetsian, is undoubtedly one of the best Karate exponents in Australia. His natural ability and dedication has seen him grade in Australia and Japan in Both Seiwakai and JKF and he is one of the highest grades in Goju Karate system.
His skills are phenomenal and his movement in both Kata and Kumite is something to be seen. If you are looking for the next level of Karate training, I highly recommend joining his Black Belt only classes. You won't be disappointed.

I've trained with Shihan on many an occasion, I was proud and honoured to be awarded my black belt by him. He is an exceptional instructor who not only makes training interesting but fun too. His only fault is I don't think he ever really understood the Geordie accent. May you go from strength to strength Stacey karetsian, and I hope you eventually make it to the UK!

Shihan Stacey Karetsian has been an absolute blessing to Karate in Australia. His uplifting humble attitude and vision for not only himself but those he trains and stands beside is obvious if you are ever fortunate enough to be grace with his presence. I would highly recommend you attend his class if you are that someone who is pursuing martial arts with a goal to be the best you can be. Thank you Shihan or should I now say Goshukan Kancho Karetsian for your past teachings. I look forward to training with you again soon.
