Kyokushin karate - KIMAA

My daughter has been going there since she was 7 (she is now 11). She loves it and it helped her to build confidence in herself ... totally recommend it!!! It is a really good place to learn resilience and mental strength, as well as physical skills. Hanshi is dedicated to his students

I have been practicing karate since I was 11 to. I'm now 59. Hanchi Lipmann is one of the most knowledgeable teacher Australia is proud to have. If you understand martial arts this is the place to be. HIs approach with students is lovely sprinkled with humor and always supportive.

I have had the privilege of training with Hanshi Lipman for the past 15 years, after many years of karate practice in different countries. His commitment to the dojo and his students is admirable. For him, it’s all about helping junior and senior students build both strong technique and spirit, and be the best they can be. He has managed to create an environment that promotes camaraderie, friendship and respect while maintaining the discipline of karate. Training is focused and full of energy, but fun. Also, the dojo has strong traditional Japanese connections. Highly recommend this dojo to everyone, no matter your age.

Howard Lipman is temperamental and on occasion berates and humiliates students publicly. This makes it unconducive and unsafe for children to learn martial arts. Look at the pictures below. Do you think this is safe for 8 year old children? My son was badly bruised during a sparring session coached by him. This club treats students like temple disciples, not as fee paying customers. Services advertised are not provided and they over charge. I do not recommend enrolling your children here.

KIMAA Turramurra dojo is a long term established dojo above the TAB in Turramurra. Hanshi Howard Lipman operates the dojo up to five times a week and trains students ranging from senior blackbelts, to Knox School students, to younger children, some as young as four.Hanshi has committed his life to Kyokushin Karate. He has instructed for over 40 years and creates an environment in which all who have the dedication will flourish into accomplished Kyokushin practitioners.The KIMAA dojo maintains a friendly atmosphere while ensuring the training tempers the mind, body and spirit in accordance with Karate principles. Testament to the success of this dojo is the longevity of its students, several having trained with Hanshi for over 20 years.Kyokushin Karate is renowned for being the strongest karate"

This dojo is one of the best martial art training facilities I have seen in terms of training the mind, body and spirit. I am impressed with the doctrine emphasised by the Dojo which focuses on discipline, respect, hard work and most important of all humility. It follows the important traditions of karate, only through hard work and discipline can one advance to the next level of training. The Dojo provides a positive atmosphere for all children and adults for those who wants to strive to be the best they can be.

A great place to learn real martial arts! My son is always looking forward to his lessons with Hanshi Lipman and his team of very experienced and caring instructors. I've seen the improvement in my son's maturity and character over the past year learning authentic karate at this Dojo. Highly recommended!

Alright, I won't go through details of how well the staff work with children at this Dojo. Neither will I try to explain the difference between martial arts and other sports, go ahead and read the Internet on what makes the Karate. But what I will highlight in my review is the fact that my 9yo son repeats the moves and punches, stances and kicks at home all the time. He is engaged. He is dedicated. He likes the lessons. He likes the sensei's. He is confident and is ready to defend self should need be. What else a parent may want?

A range of quality instructors, a family-friendly atmosphere, a martial arts club that promotes discipline, self-improvement and a hard work ethic. An outstanding community.
