The Karate Institute - Peakhurst

Great dojo, excellent training, respect and hard work. Noonan Sensei is a master of his craft and a fantastic person as well. Highly recommend this dojo which also has a strong heritage in Japan.Roy J2221

The Karate Institute is a very special place, with a welcoming community and the seniors are always open to teaching the newcomers and are very generous with their time. My kids have embraced the Tasseikan spirit and have learnt, and continue to learn, resilience and focus in their years here. Sensei Noonan is an inspiring instructor and mentor and the most senior ranked Sensei in Chitoryu Australia - who continues to study directly from the Soke (head of Chitoryu in Japan). The discipline that is enforced with traditional karate at the Karate Institute is something we do not see in many places these days, and bodes well for every student, regardless of age and experience, and teaches commitment and perseverance.

My son has been part of this dojo going on now nearly 5 years.It was a very welcoming experience coming from scotland to Australia and everyone welcomed my son into the dojo and taught him the fundamentals of karate before he moved into the bigger class where he loves training with the bigger boys and girls.Sensai Noonan is definitely one of the best out there who will go above and beyond to teach your child the right way karate is taught .

Sensei is passionate about karate, and sharing that with his students. He is quite old school and direct with his students, but the students respect him immensely, and you can see the discipline and dedication that develops. My two boys have been going since they turned 5, and karate is often the highlight of their week.

Both my sons have been with Sensei Mike Noonan and the team for over 10 years and the professionalism, respect, focus and discipline they have gained is a true credit by the way this organisation is run. My sons love being part of the institute and today they volunteer and train younger kids with so much pride. It's not just about the technical training it's the incredible way Mike treats every individual. I'm super lucky to have my family part of this institute. If your after a black belt over night then you need to go somewhere else. If you want to learn true wholesome values and have your child grow in to a respectful, confident and fit young person then I would absolutely 100% recommend this place without a doubt.

I have had the privilege of training with Noonan Sensei for the past 30+ years. The commitment to his personal training is remarkable and this is reflected in the outstanding practical execution and application of his karate technique.This dedication, focus and pursuit of excellence can be found in the dojo, where Noonan Sensei works tirelessly to provide each student with a high level of instruction, care and inclusivity.I would highly recommend the dojo to anyone seeking an authentic teacher, with impeccable qualifications to learn karate-do.Through peace, perseverance and hard work you will achieve your goal under the influence of Noonan Kyoshi.

Our family joined 4 years ago and we really enjoy the classes. My children's confidence has grown immensely during this time. Sensei Noonan challenges and pushes each one of his students to reach their full potential. Thank you Sensei and his assistants for helping us develop and perfect our skills.

Absolutely can't speak highly enough of Sensei Noonan and the Karate Institute. Our son has attended for the last 5 years and will continue for many more. If you're looking for somewhere that's firm, bit fun and not just the kind of place you show up and receive a belt, this is your place. Warm & inviting. Tough but fair.

Sensei Noonan is an exceptional teacher, being supportive, well studied and well practised in his teachings. What is taught isn't watered down and remains true to authentic karate. Traditions are upheld, teaching discipline and respect towards sensei, peers and dojo.The culture of this dojo fosters close bonds, supporting one another and encouraging all to strive to become better. This striving is not just within karate but is taught to carry over into daily life.I've enjoyed my time here and would encourage others to drop in as well.

If you're looking for a good quality Karate institute, look no more. Mike Noon is really good in every thing that he do! Always recommending this place to my friends 100%
