Adam Mcdonald: Best place to train karate in Queensland especially for families

Adam Page: Great place to get the kids active, learn some self defence and some self discipline. They have classes for the beginner, intermediate and advanced. Great place.

Rosemarie Caston: My two eldest children have been doing karate now for around 10 years. They're now 21 and 22 years old and just this year they earned their teaching qualifications. I've gotta admit it's still a little strange to call them "Sensei". 😊A bit over 5 years ago they inspired me to get started too after watching from the sidelines for so long. And my youngest daugher now 14 yrears old has been training for a little over 2 and a half years.The teenage years can be a tricky and confusing time as they go through so many different changes in their lives. My children have really found karate to be their go-to place for gaining perspective and to reflect on a positive path in life. In challenging times, it kept them focused and goal oriented and kept them on a straight path to wellness and success. Not only has karate helped with confidence, fitness, meditation, goal setting, it's also helped them focus on what's good for them.They have also enjoyed participating in tournaments, social events and karate camps. They have bonded and made long life friends.Karate isn’t just an activity for us, its now our lifestyle.

Debbie Woodhouse: Lets face it, being a parent is a tough job. I was so lucky to find Sunshine Coast Karate, who have been the most amazing and supportive coaches for my children and I for 18 years now.As 5th Dan instructors and world champions of the Chito-Ryu style of karate, Senseis Martin and Sandra, teach karate with great skill, positive encouragement and in an energetic, motivating and fun environment. They are also subtle and influential partners in developing those positive values and real life skills which are fundamental to successfully navigating that transition from teenager to young adult.Their learning for life philosophy grounded in personal challenge, team participation, physical and spiritual wellbeing, developed innate values of leadership, courage, respect, loyalty and resilience throughout my children’s primary and high school years.Most notably these qualities were exhibited during those difficult teenage years. My children shared their knowledge and experience respectfully and patiently with older and younger karate students, even with their very nervous white belt mum when I began my karate. They stood up for what they thought was right and to school bullies, both for themselves and others. They proudly represented their state and country in competition, by having the spirit to participate and experience, not win at all costs. And most importantly built the fortitude and resilience to make their way through life's challenges with a healthy serve of self-esteem and independence.I continue my karate4life journey, knowing my children respect, value and practice the philosophy and skills developed, as part of their membership Sunshine Coast karate family.If you are looking for something to help manage the stress, uncertainty and frustrations of the modern world for your children, I can certainly testify and recommend Sunshine Coast Karate will make a positive difference to their, and your, health, wellbeing and future.

Terry Colless: . They just know how to bring out the best in everybody. Sometimes I laugh to often and to loudly at my coordination or lack there of. And sometimes when we sit in Seiza watching a demonstration during class, we sit in absolute awe of what we are seeing.I train in some of the adult classes and in some of my kids classes as well. It is fantastic to be able to train alongside my children. We meditate, we stretch, we strengthen, we sweat, we puff and we laugh. If you don’t know what to expect at your first class, it is kind of like crossfit, mixed with Yoga, Pilates, Meditation , Cardio training, Martial Arts and Self Defence all in one. And if you are like my kids and I, the more you learn about Chito Ryu Karate , the more you will want to learn.When you join , you will also have access to all of Sunshine Coast Karate’s online recourses. In the members section there are loads of resources to read and videos to watch. And if you have any questions everyone is very approachable and more than willing to share there knowledge on a certain technique.Please come along and give it try. As they say the hardest part is stepping into the dojo and giving it a try for the first time. You and your Children might be nervous, but honestly there is nothing to be nervous about. There is no such a thing as being really bad when you start learning Karate at Sunshine Coast Karate, there is only room for improvement. What if you and your kids are naturals at Karate. You wont know unless you give it go. If you are willing to give it a try you will find all of the encouragement and support you need at Sunshine Coast Karate. We look forward to seeing you there!

Chris Pyatt: Our 5yo is a bit of a handful at home, so we decided to give him a hobby. Karate was his choice so we went looking for a dojo.I would just like to say that we were so lucky to find Martin and Sandra at sunshine Coast Karate, lucky because their dojo was the first we looked at.Martin and Sandra are so patient and respectful to both us and our son, we had heaps of trouble getting him to partake in the first few lessons, but Martin and Sandra stood by us and offered us enough time to get him comfortable at the dojo. Now he waits all week to attend his class and is half way toward achieving his first belt upgrade, he is so proud of his training, he rarely stops talking about it.If you want a great dojo where your child can grow in confidence and self discipline, then look no further than Sunshine Coast Karate.

Neville Williams: Good

Felino Molina: Our granddaughter loves this karate school as well as dad. Great for her self esteem. Very good instructors and very patient with young children.

Kate Kelps: .Without hesitation, I would recommend Sunshine Coast Karate.

luromel j: Like many, we looked to martial arts as a method to assist with our child's development. We looked at quite a few martial art forms and karate styles and Dojo on the Sunshine Coast. In the end the decision, a little over two years ago now, to begin our son's Karate journey with Sunshine Coast Karate, was made because of the family oriented , professional environment we witnessed. Plus , and a big plus , the smiles on the kids faces, who were in the classes we watched, whilst making our call. Chito-Ryu at the Sunshine Coast Karate Dojo has become entrenched in our family now , with all of us attending classes , enjoying the challenges and the journey. We've made some great friends , had some seriously fun times , got fitter and stronger and above all , have had no second thoughts. No matter how many words I write, I could not express it more eloquently other than to say...great place , great people , great friends and a great journey.

the jonts: We have been going to Sunshine Coast Karate since February 2013. We viewed and trialled at various Karate schools on the Sunshine Coast. We are happy to share the reasons why we are happy and choose Sunshine Coast Karate.Prior to starting at Sunshine Coast Karate our 7 year old son lacked self-confidence and concentration. Since starting with Sunshine Coast Karate he has started to handle social situations with more ease. He has also been commended on his attention and work performance in the classroom.As parents we are very happy with our selection of Sunshine Coast Karate, not only because of the improvements we have witnessed in our son, but also in the way the school is run. Both Martin & Sandra present themselves in a very professional manner. Sunshine Coast Karate offers a great sense of balance between fun and respect. We are impressed there are always senior students in a class to support the black belt instructor to ensure the children’s techniques are developing correctly.For us the lessons at Sunshine Coast Karate really reinforce the life skills we are teaching our son at home - respect, confidence and acceptance. We would recommend this school to anyone who has children. Thank you Martin & Sandra and we look forward to many more years of involvement.SincerelyThe Di Pietra’s

Brendan Edwards: I wanted to start my then 4 1/2 year old son Patrick in a Karate programme to help build up his confidence as he was a very shy boy. We sat at SCK for approximately six weeks in a row watching the Little Champions train and Patrick was very keen until it was time to go in by himself and train and he would back off. Therefore after speaking with Martin and Sandra my wife and I decided that I would take him to family night and I would also train.Almost 2 years late and Patrick loves coming back to SCK and recently competed in his first tournament where he received a 1st place for his individual Kata under 7 years of age and a 3rd place for the individual Kumite under 7's. This also culminated in Patrick being awarded the tournament champion for Little Champions Beginners.Now my 4 year old son Lachlan joined SCK in January 2013 to help him with his discipline issues as he is much more extroverted than Patrick and Lachlan has earnt 3 tips on his white belt and can't wait to be awarded his yellow belt and enter his 1st tournament.The sensei's and staff and SCK are fantastic, they teach the kids life skills and I would recommend to SCK to any and all parents looking for a wonderful dojo for their kids or themselves.

Col Chapman: Finding the right Dojo for our then 5 year old daughter involved visiting all the Dojo on the Sunshine Coast, talking to the Sensei and other members. We were very impressed with the overall quality of the facilities, training equipment and all the staff at Sunshine Coast Karate.Many Dojo are fortunate to have one very good Sensei and a host of senior Black Belts assisting. Sunshine Coast Karate has not one, but two highly qualified and experienced Karate practitioners in Sensei Martin and Sensei Sandra. Sensei Helen, Sempai Jim and others are equally committed to training and teaching all the students at the Dojo and do so with patience, kindness, firmness and passion.Their Admin/Manager is like a second mom to all the young people there and is always available to answer endless queries from parents, provide support and guidance when necessary and offer just the right amount of support, kindness and praise to all the members.Sunshine Coast Karate is at the forefront in developing training programs, training techniques, preparing young people for local, State and National Tournaments and designing and developing ancillary equipment.Our daughter has now been attending for 18 months and we have yet to experience any dissatisfaction in any way whatsoever. She is thriving under their care, training and supervision.We thoroughly recommend Sunshine Coast Karate to any parent seeking a Dojo for their child/ren.
