Sunshine Coast Karate

Martin and Sandra, co-founders and owners of Sunshine Coast Karate, extend a warm welcome to you. Our journey in martial arts began in 1984 and 1990, respectively, and over the years, it has become a significant part of our lives. Our goal has always been to establish a community that inspires, supports, and empowers individuals and families. We take great pleasure in assisting individuals in learning, growing, and overcoming limiting thoughts, habits, and beliefs to become the best version of themselves.

At Sunshine Coast Karate, we teach the traditional martial art of Chito-Ryu Karate-do, which offers various areas to explore and test your skills, such as basic training, forms, applications, sparring, weapons, throwing techniques, and tournament training. Our training goes beyond physical techniques, incorporating an ongoing awareness, understanding, and nurturing of your mind and body, including meditation, personal development, basic postural training, breathing, strengthening, core development, flexibility, balance, coordination, and more.

We invite you to explore the power of your mind and body and discover an inner strength that will enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of your technique, especially if you have a smaller frame. Our step-by-step process will help you move beyond your physical limits, unleashing an internal power that will amaze you and keep you eager to take your studies even deeper.
