Welcome to Samurai Karate & Self Defence Queensland
At Samurai Karate all your martial art needs are met with appropriate classes for all ages and ability levels.
In a Samurai Karate dojo you will be taught not only traditional Shito-ryu Shukokai, but sport karate also.
​
Our instructors are highly qualified and are recognised internationally. Our association is affiliated to our Japanese counterparts which ensures that you get the same traditional karate that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Get involved, have fun, & make friends.

TIMETABLE
Samurai Karate QLD provide tailored lessons to maximise development and to keep content relevant. Children are taught in classes with peers of a similar age and ability level; not adults. Our adult and teen classes are split into beginner (novice), intermediate and senior classes reflecting their current belt & the amount of time they have been training.
​
As children learn best through movement and play, our classes are structured specifically with this in mind. Our instructors incorporate our traditional content into a variety of games to keep classes fresh and fun while students inadvertently increase their self defense skills, awareness, control and self discipline.
​
Shukokai karate is more than just punching & kicking, it is an art-form in of itself and literally means "way for all". It does not discriminate against age, ability, gender or previous experience which is why it is practiced and enjoyed in dojos all over the world. There’s always more to discover about the art and about yourself. Discover what you are capable of.
