Our martial arts programs will have you getting fitter, feeling better about yourself and boost your self esteem so you can get more out of your life.

Life can get a little hectic for all of us at times and regular exercise helps to alleviate daily stresses, worry and anxiety. Physical activities such as martial arts have proven themselves time and time again to be a great asset in helping us release tension and achieve greater calm, harmony and peace in our lives. Martial arts not only improves metabolism and burns calories, it is also a great deterrent against depression and other mental health issues.

Age, Gender, Fitness Level And Experience Are No Barrier

At Sunshine Coat Karate, age, gender, fitness level and experience are no barrier. We have students in their 60's who practice karate. We have a mix of both male and female participants and instructors. We have students of varying fitness levels. If you have the desire to learn, we can help you gradually develop yourself and your skills.

A Powerful And Effective Method To Bring Out Your Best

Achieving each level within martial arts requires incremental improvement of your understanding and ability to execute your basics a little better with each level. This learning process encourages a beautiful yet powerful "learner mindset". This learning mindset requires the gradual improvement of focus, concentration and much patience. It also requires a genuine curiosity to seek a way to improve your existing practice. Why are we so excited about this learner mindset?

The more you study martial arts the more you strengthen your ability to focus and concentrate. This increased ability to focus will help you cut through the noise and distractions of our external environments that are keeping you from experiencing your best self. With more practice of this learner mindset coupled with a growing self awareness and confidence, you'll position yourself to bring about desired changes to your life.

What People Say About Us

"

Debbie Woodhouse


Let's face it, being a parent is a tough job. I was so lucky to find Sunshine Coast Karate, who have been the most amazing and supportive coaches for my children and I for 18 years now.

As 5th Dan instructors and world champions of the Chito-Ryu style of karate, Senseis Martin and Sandra, teach karate with great skill, positive encouragement and in an energetic, motivating and fun environment. They are also subtle and influential partners in developing those positive values and real life skills which are fundamental to successfully navigating that transition from teenager to young adult.

Their learning for life philosophy grounded in personal challenge, team participation, physical and spiritual wellbeing, developed innate values of leadership, courage, respect, loyalty and resilience throughout my children’s primary and high school years.

Most notably these qualities were exhibited during those difficult teenage years. My children shared their knowledge and experience respectfully and patiently with older and younger karate students, even with their very nervous white belt mum when I began my karate. They stood up for what they thought was right and to school bullies, both for themselves and others. They proudly represented their state and country in competition, by having the spirit to participate and experience, not win at all costs. And most importantly built the fortitude and resilience to make their way through life's challenges with a healthy serve of self-esteem and independence.

I continue my karate4life journey, knowing my children respect, value and practice the philosophy and skills developed, as part of their membership of the Sunshine Coast Karate family.

If you are looking for something to help manage the stress, uncertainty and frustrations of the modern world for your children, I can certainly testify and recommend Sunshine Coast Karate will make a positive difference to their, and your, health, wellbeing and future.
