Kofukan Karate Australia - Forrestdale Dojo (Karate For Life)

Welcome to Kofukan Karate Australia - Forrestdale Dojo (Karate For Life)! Located at Weld Street in Forrestdale, our establishment is a point of interest for karate enthusiasts in Australia. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a beginner, our dojo offers a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.

At Kofukan Karate Australia, we practice traditional Shito-ryu Karate-do, which has been directly descended from the Okinawan karate masters. Our instructors have undergone rigorous training and assessment by the esteemed international Chief Instructor, Shihan Keiji Tomiyama (9th Dan). This ensures that you receive top-notch instruction and guidance in your karate journey.

Karate is not just about physical strength and self-defense; it also nurtures confidence and self-esteem. Through our training, students learn to overcome fears and embarrassment, fostering personal growth both inside and outside the dojo. Respect and self-control are integral values that we instill in our students, creating well-rounded individuals.

But karate is not all serious business! Our instructors provide a range of classes tailored to different age groups, including karate-based games for younger kids. We believe that learning should be fun, and our classes reflect that philosophy. Additionally, karate is a fantastic way to improve stamina, strength, and flexibility.
