Welcome to South Coast Shotokan Karate - a registered Dojo of Shotokan Karate International Australia a not-for-profit organisation directly afilited with the Shotokan Karate International Federation. 

At our dojo (the place where the path or way is pursued), we teach a range of karate and fitness elements and sometimes practice sport karate. However, the karate we teach is so much more than just a sport. 

The karate we teach recognises that karate is budo and that sport karate (tournaments) are just a part of that budo training we practice. We retain traditional rituals of karate etiquette including respect, reciting (and delving deeper into) the dojo rules, sincerity, courtesy and so on but, also integrate elements of contemporary physical exercise science in our practice of karate-do (the way of the empty hand).

Our dojo is a place that inspires poeple towards mastery of this beautiful and alluring martial art. It is also a pathway to self-learning where we help your dreams become reality and support our students to reach their full potential.

Join us today and let us help you reach your full potential
