A wonderful Karate community led by Shihan Stacey. My partner and I had trained previously in other martial arts and in another style of Karate. We have loved our first 3 months here at Goshukan and been welcomed in to the community. Shihan … More is an excellent teacher, dedicated and passionate and always supportive and welcoming.

I’ve had an amazing experience training here. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about helping every student reach their potential. Classes are well structured, challenging, and welcoming to all ages … More and experience levels. The emphasis on discipline, respect, and practical technique creates a fantastic learning environment. Since joining I’ve improved my fitness, confidence, and karate skills, and always look forward to the next class. I highly recommend this dojo to anyone considering martial arts training.

Our daughter has been training at Goshukan Karate Academy for the past two years, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From day one, everyone has been incredibly kind, welcoming, and supportiive. It truly feels like being … More part of a family. The instructors are extremely professional, patient, and accommodating, creating a positive environment where children can learn, grow, and build confidence. We've seen our daughter learn so much over the past two years, and she absolutely loves going to karate and spending time in the dojo. We especially appreciate the inclusion of more female senpai, as they are setting such a great example and inspiring young girls through their dedication, leadership, and strength. We are truly grateful to be part of the Goshukan Karate Academy family and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive and encouraging place for their child to learn karate.

Frequently asked questions
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: kids classes ratio is 15:1 and for general classes it is usually 20:1.
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)?
What is the Japan Karate Federation?
The Japan Karate-do Federation was established in 1964 to organize and oversee all styles of traditional Japanese Karate. This organisation is part of Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (文部科学省 Monbu-kagaku-shō). It is led by a member of Cabinet who is selected by Japan’s Prime Minister.The vast majority of traditional Goju Ryu organisations are members of the JKF Goju Kai. This organisation seeks to preserve and perpetuate the style of karate that was developed in Okinawa, Japan by Mr. Chojun Miyagi. Goshukan Karate Academy is a member Seiwakai Goju Ryu and therefore a member of the Japan Karate Federation.
