Hello and Welcome!

Brisbane Shotokan Karate-do is a Dojo of Shotokan Karate International Australia (SKIA). We practice traditional Japanese Karate (restricted contact), as passed down from Kanazawa Soke (10th Dan), founder of the Shotokan Karate International Federation. We are also affiliated with the Queensland Karate Association and recognised by Karate Australia, and the Australiasian Federation of Traditional Karate and Kobudo (AFTK), and routinely participate in National and International Karate seminars and competitions.

We train at the YMCA Acacia Ridge Youth Community Centre three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. All adults and children (6+) are welcome. Sensei Tarun Rajan is the Resident Instructor of Brisbane Shotokan Karate. 

We hope you find something of interest within these pages. If you are new to Karate and/ or martial arts, we hope that it may spark an interest in you to come and try Shotokan Karate and take that first step. For so many of us, that first step has started us on an amazing journey with a lifetime of memories. We invite you to join us.
