MAYA KARATE ACADEMY

Great and professional team with strong experience in Karate

Outstanding senseis, great family!

Had the fortune of attending the graduation day at Maya Karate in December last year. An amazing community oriented day where parents enjoyed their children's display of self-discipline and skills acquired throughout the year.Well done to all Sensei's.

Sensei Genaro and Sensei Carlos have a wonderful manner of teaching and conduct their lessons with utmost professionalism but are still incredibly approachable and engaging for all ages and levels of experience.

Carlos is a National Karate champion both in Australia and abroad. More importantly, he is a fantastic instructor who cares about his students. This club comes from a family dedicated to Karate, with generations of knowledge and experience. Highly recommend.

The Maya Karate Academy is the perfect place to develop yourself not just physically but emotionally. The professionalism of the instructors is a guarantee

Lovely People!!! Excellent classes and very nice professors

In 2020, at the age of 43, I began my journey as a Karate student with Maya Karate Academy. In my time training under the instruction of both Sensei Genaro Maya and Sensei Carlos Maya, I have gained fitness, flexibility, strength, stamina and many other health benefits.A really special aspect of training with Maya Karate Academy is the depth of knowledge, martial arts philosophy, and technique that both Sensei Genaro and Sensei Carlos can share with students, after having dedicated their lives to the art of Karate.Sensei Genaro is able to share his 50 years of experience and knowledge gained from training with a Karate Master who was a direct student of the Father of Okinawan Karate, Toyama Kanken. He is one of a very few martial artists in the world who are connected to the origins of Okinawan Karate in this way, offering a cultural bridge between traditional Okinawan Karate and the students under his instruction. What a privilege to have him here in SA! I feel blessed to be his student.Sensei Carlos is an elite athlete and champion of the WKF, who offers all the knowledge imparted to him from his own 25 years mastering Karate with his father, Sensei Genaro. Sensei Carlos, with his athletic ability and competitive achievements is also able to impart his knowledge of kumite (sparring), with experience not often found in Karate schools.To be a student training under a combination of these two talented, dedicated and specialist Karateka’s is an experience and a learning journey that you will not find at another Karate school in the country.

The best Karate Academy!
