The place you want to go to work hard and get the best results for your karate journey
An awesome place to train, make friends and simply be a part of. Kansai Karate is than just a sport we do, they are family. Everyone you meet whether an instructor, student, family member or friend is just lovely. I couldn't think of a better place to be involved with.
Kimberly Cowan
Wow! Is what I have to say. I get to visit schools around the world and this is a world class place. Very talented student which demonstrates how great the instruction is. If you are in the area and looking for Martial Art classes, you must start here.
Fred Kyoshi DePalma
Both of my boys have been going here for over 4years. It is the best decision I have ever made.
Donna Clark
As a parent to 4 small children I’m confident in saying we have tried pretty much everything on offer for the kids across so many establishments and centres all over Brisbane with such a mix of instructor personalities and capabilities. We feel strongly for each of them at least to have one activity they love and are enthusiastic to attend. I had always hoped they would take to karate for various reasons and did my research into reputable options on the west side of Brisbane.
Natalie Brockett
It is run extremely professionally and has well credentialed and caring instructors who make karate fun.
Michael Geise
Our family chose Kansai for a number of reasons. First, it's extremely family-friendly and our girls are loving the high-energy, fun sessions delivered by great instructors that develop their self-confidence. Second, it offers both traditional karate with deep roots back to the source as well as top quality sports karate. Finally, it offers more than just karate with various fitness classes and equipment. Highly recommended.
