If you’re looking for a traditional Japanese Karate school with a modern outlook, then Kuro Obi Karate can meet all your martial art requirements.
You will receive expert tuition learned directly from the old Japanese Masters. An all-inclusive club, so whether you’re looking to instill confidence and discipline into your children, increase your own fitness and strength or just curious to try something new, we’ve got you covered.
Bully Proof Kids
Have you ever wanted your child to be bully proof and have an unshakable sense of self-esteem? Did you know that an estimated 200 million school age children are being bullied by school mates and peers? Australia is amongst the highest in the world with over 32% of children experiencing bullying.
One of the best ways to instill a sense of self-esteem and self-defence skills in your child is for him or her to learn martial arts.
But the problem is, martial arts schools are NOT created equally.
Some martial arts schools are not equipped properly, some are not safe, some don’t have fully qualified and internationally recognised instructors.

- Working With Children Checks
- First Aid Qualifications
- Classes specifically tailored for age and level
- Additional squad & tournament training
- Weapon classes
- Safety equipment
- Encouragement
