Fantastic! My daughter has Aspergers and the Shobukan Young Samurai program has helped her balance, confidence, ability to remember more than one instruction at a time, fitness and she can raise one leg off the ground without falling over most of the time now! She loves the lessons and the fantastic instructors.

We were previously with another club who after 1yr still did not know my daughter's name, nor could she even kick properly. We have never looked back since moving to Shobukan. The teachers are fantastic and focused on developing the children to be the best they can. There are numerous teachers per class to ensure everyone receives the proper attention. Teachers know every student's name and how they are progressing and are happy to talk to parents about any concerns. Shobukan feels more like a family than a karate class and I recommend them to anyone interested in karate.

So friendly, welcoming and supportive! My son (6 years old) joined up and had such a good time that I joined as well. Such a great group there; for all ages and fitness levels. Thoroughly recommended!

I've recently started my 3 and 5 yr old sons here and I love it (so do they!). My 5 yr old had previously been going to a different martial arts school but this one feels so much better. The staff and Sensei are all so friendly and it feels very welcoming every time we go. Sensei Mike is amazing with the kids and you can see he loves working with them and helping them achieve in a friendly atmosphere. The way Mike keeps the kids focused is amazing also. At the old martial arts centre, it usually felt like there wasn't enough instructors, but at Shobukan there are usually 1 or to instructors for 3 or 4 kids. Thanks, we love it!

We feel very lucky to be a part of Shobukan Martial Arts. My daughter and son have been under the excellent guidance and instruction of Sensei Mike and Dion for 4 years now. They have gained focus, confidence, a positive attitude, and respect, not to mention a tremendous knowledge of martial arts skills and safety awareness/self defence skills.....all while having a lot of fun! Being able to train at the various Shobukan locations also gives us the flexibility to balance our busy load ensuring the kids don’t miss out on their training. I have also joined Kick Box and Burn adult classes and I am also benefiting with exercise, martial arts knowledge and training, and having a great time while doing it! Shobukan has been a great addition to our family life.

I came across Shobukan in my research and decided to give it a go. After the first session we got in the car to drive home and both kids asked when when can we go back next,which i though was pretty amazing considering some of the program we'd tried in the past, i was asked in the car to never go back again. My boy is paying so much more attention and my girls confidence and ability to have a go at some of these gross motor tasks has been pretty significant.

The best form of Self Defence is Self Confidence.

According to the Australian Bureau of statistics, 1 in 4 children (27%) have reported being bullied from elementary school to high school.

If your child can properly develop self defense skills through martial arts, they can be an independent person especially when you’re not around to guide them.

Self esteem is actually one of the best skills that your child will learn during our training programs. In fact studies show that after children had been taught martial arts, they have increased self esteem. So, if you want to develop your child’s self esteem, you can depend on our martial arts services here at Shobukan Martial Arts.

Don’t let your child become a victim of bullying, enroll them now at SMA and we guarantee you that we will teach them about the best ways on how to prevent bullying in their school. Don’t let your child be a statistic. Enquire now about our Bully awareness programs.

Martial Arts philosophies such as focus, self-discipline, leadership, strength, adaptability, awareness of surroundings, trust, respect and goal setting, make a great foundation for any type of corporate event.
