Sydney Karate Club

Definitely the best martial arts club I've attended. Good facilities, lovely and friendly people and all up a great challenge. It really boosted my fitness and confidence and it feels good knowing I can fight should I ever have to.

The best karate dojo in Sydney! Professionally managed and excellent teachers who share practical and important lessons and skills in a fun way, especially for little ones.

Both my children and my husband do martial arts here the place has the nicest setup and a real friendly atmosphere . We all love being apart of Sydney Karate Club

I've been training with the instructors at the Sydney Karate Club for almost ten years now - from the Kids Karate class and now in the Kaizen Ryuu Adults class. The Sydney Karate Club has a really supportive, welcoming community that makes it really easy to learn from instructors. As well as learning a wide variety of martial arts forms, the dojo's allowed me to develop more than just self defence skills - it's allowed me to increase my confidence and has constantly challenged me from day 1.Wouldn't stay with a club for ten years if I didn't think it was pretty damn awesome.

This place has become my second home! I train here up to 4 or 5 times a week, learning freestyle karate, kobudo (traditional weapons) and generally working on fitness. There are many different classes and styles to suit everyone, including specialised kids classes. When I started I thought there was no way I would get fit or tough enough to stay in martial arts, but I'm still here four years later, which is a testament to the great atmosphere of this club.The instructors are great at encouraging you to work on both your strengths and weaknesses, and classes are fun as well as challenging. I highly recommend SKC for anyone from true beginner looking to start their journey, to accomplished martial artists looking for a change or a new place.

Great karate school, with excellent facilities and great instructors. Would highly recommend to everyone young and old. They offer a great choice of classes and a variety of days available.

I've been training here for nearly two years now, taking classes twice a week in both freestyle karate (Kaizen Ryu) and traditional weapons (Okinawan kobudō) under the instruction of Sensei Jonathon Gleeson. The environment is friendly and encouraging - no one is looked down upon for what they don't yet know, with all the instructors and higher ranked students willing to give advice and tips from their wealth of knowledge to improve your abilities.New students are often taught slightly apart for the first lesson or two depending on what is being covered until reaching a basic level where they are able to join with the class - and all higher students will adjust to their level when training with them helping them gain skills and competency without being overwhelming or intimidating.If you have an interest in studying martial arts I highly recommend trying Sydney Karate Club!

I've been training off and on at SKC since 2008. I like that you can work at your own pace - if you haven't got the time to commit to training regularly and grading for your next belt, you can still come along and just work on improving all of your skills and fitness. A couple of years ago I was able to start training again regularly, and since then I've been able to achieve my black belt, which was really exciting and rewarding, but you don't have to dedicate your whole life to martial arts to enjoy and get something out of training at SKC. It's a really welcoming, friendly, and supportive atmosphere and there's a variety of different skills to learn - self defence, kata, sparring, weapons... I find the sparring classes in particular to be a great way of taking my mind off my work and life stress, they're awesome fun!

I have really enjoyed trying out something new in karate and this club is excellent and affordable. It's an awesome confidence boost and great exercise too. Give it a go!

Sydney Karate Club is awesome! There are so many different classes on offer and they cater to all ages and skill levels. I have been training here for 5 years now, and I love every class. The classes are energetic and engaging and most of all they are fun. we learn real-world skills such as self-defense in a variety of scenarios.
