Traditional Martial Arts

FOR ALL AGES

Welcome to Sunshine Coast Karate

Martin & Sandra here, co-founders and owners of Sunshine Coast Karate (established 2000). We began our martial arts journey as children (Martin started in 1984 at 8 years of age, Sandra started in 1990 at 12 years of age).  We've been going for a few years now, and for us, karate has become a way of life.  And now we get to share that with you, a journey of self discovery, family, community, and contribution.  

It was our goal very early on in our training career to establish a dojo community that could energise, support, inspire and empower individuals and families.  There is nothing more satisfying than helping people learn, grow and position themselves to overcome limiting thoughts, habits and beliefs and become a greater version of themselves.

The study of Chito-Ryu Karate-do is the perfect pursuit to bring about positive change in your life whilst also giving you a great variety of areas (basic training, forms, applications, sparring, weapons, throwing techniques, tournament training) to explore and test your skills.  Underlying your basic martial arts training, you'll also notice an ongoing awareness, understanding and nurturing of your mind and body including, meditation, personal development, basic postural training, breathing, strengthening, core development, flexibility, balance, co-ordination and more.

For those of you with the desire to unlock even greater power of the mind and body to further enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of your technique, you are in the right place.  This is especially important for smaller frame people who need to move beyond relying purely on physical power for self protection. If you follow our step by step process, in time, you will move beyond your physical limits and discover an internal power which will amaze you and keep you eager to take your studies even deeper.

We are so very excited to have you visit our website today.  Thank you.  Take a moment to browse our programs, take advantage of our exclusive web offer and we'll see you in the dojo soon.  Let's grow together!!!

Karate For Teenagers (13-19 years)

The practice of martial arts is kind of like a "miracle formula" for all of us, especially teenagers. Many of our young adults in the dojo that have already navigated through their teenager years speak of the inner strength, courage, commitment, confidence and focus that pulled them through some of their toughest times. Many of our teenagers in the dojo have grown to appreciate the importance of hard physical training to help create a balanced lifestyle whilst they are still growing into the best possible adult version of themselves.

At Sunshine Coast Karate, perhaps the best thing is the dojo community. All students have the opportunity to be themselves and grow healthy relationships with people of all ages and walks of life. It's a place where everyone is accepted because we all share a common goal for self improvement.  Learn more about karate for teenagers (13-19 years)...
