Testimonials
Before you make your mind up about whether or not Sunshine Coast Karate is the right place for you to get started on your karate journey, read what some of our members have to say about us.
“Finding the right Dojo for our then 5 year old daughter involved visiting all the Dojo on the Sunshine Coast, talking to the Sensei and other members. We were very impressed with the overall quality of the facilities, training equipment and all the staff at Sunshine Coast Karate.
Many Dojo are fortunate to have one very good Sensei and a host of senior Black Belts assisting. Sunshine Coast Karate has not one, but two highly qualified and experienced Karate practitioners in Sensei Martin and Sensei Sandra. Sensei Helen, Sempai Jim and others are equally committed to training and teaching all the students at the Dojo and do so with patience, kindness, firmness and passion.
Their Admin/Manager is like a second mom to all the young people there and is always available to answer endless queries from parents, provide support and guidance when necessary and offer just the right amount of support, kindness and praise to all the members.
Sunshine Coast Karate is at the forefront in developing training programs, training techniques, preparing young people for local, State and National Tournaments and designing and developing ancillary equipment.
Our daughter has now been attending for 18 months and we have yet to experience any dissatisfaction in any way whatsoever. She is thriving under their care, training and supervision.
We thoroughly recommend Sunshine Coast Karate to any parent seeking a Dojo for their child/ren.”

“Like many, we looked to martial arts as a method to assist with our child’s development. We looked at quite a few martial art forms and karate styles and Dojo on the Sunshine Coast. In the end the decision, a little over two years ago now, to begin our son’s Karate journey with Sunshine Coast Karate, was made because of the family oriented, professional environment we witnessed.
Plus, and a big plus, the smiles on the kids faces, who were in the classes we watched, whilst making our call.
Chito-Ryu at the Sunshine Coast Karate Dojo has become entrenched in our family now, with all of us attending classes , enjoying the challenges and the journey. We’ve made some great friends , had some seriously fun times, got fitter and stronger and above all, have had no second thoughts.
No matter how many words I write, I could not express it more eloquently other than to say…great place , great people , great friends and a great journey.”
