I love karate at Sunshine dojo. All the senseis and staff are really supportive. They have a great leadership program that encourages students to improve their talking in public and leadership. There are special classes run by different senseis for different skills of karate. The senseis encourage you to try hard. The students have fun and also encourage each other. My favourite part of karate is kata. I like kata because of the different techniques and timing.
This platform has revolutionized our business operations. The seamless integration and powerful features have helped us scale our marketing efforts efficiently while maintaining excellent customer relationships.
Karate is the best!!! It helps build my muscle. Builds my skills & confidence. And has katas that cool your mind down. Karate is the greatest sport of all! it helps you build muscles such as your core, hips, biceps, triceps, your glutes & most of your leg muscles. My muscles have got a lot stronger. I do AFL. I can now kick further. I can do more push-ups, sit-ups & I can plank for longer. Karate is also the best sport because it builds your confidence by letting everyone join in & playing all the drills & games. Karate is awesome, fun & action packed, but I like karate the most when we do our katas. Kata cools my mind down. KARATE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I started training since I was a kid, left multiple times, and returned to get my black belt at the age of 40. It feels like home. I love training in this traditional, powerful, elegant style. The challenges, skills, confidence and traditions add so much to my daily life, and I’m proud to be part of teaching them to the next generations. Our instructors have so much knowledge, traditional and recent, and help every student achieve their best. My wife and two sons also love to train. Samurai Shukokai Karate is a “way for all”.
Samurai Shukokai Karate dojo was and still an awesome dojo. All senseis and reception staffs were great!! I have 2 boys who trained under sensei Luke and sensei Tom, I witnessed my boys transform into more better. Through karate they learn respect, disipline, patient, courage, effort, creativity, persistence beside self defence. They also make new friends. They have been training for 6 years at Tarneit Dojo now. They enjoyed everytime they are training and also did many tournaments. Sometimes they trained at others dojo too to gain more skills in KATA n KUMITE as they are part of Karate Victoria Squad for 4 years ( oldest son ) and 3 years ( youngest son ). Samurai Karate is the best choice for your kids future investment!!!
The Instructors at Tarneit Dojo Karate do an exellent job of breaking down complex moves and making karate fun. Harshel has been at this dojo for 6 years from the beginning at the age of 4 years old. Learning the importance of commitment, dedication and respect to all in class as well as the Instructors. As parents we noticed what he was learning at the dojo and carrying it over at home too. Staff brings a great balance of patience, and fun to every class. Karate is also an investment. Harshel is dedicated at what he does. He enjoys karate and attends extra classes at other dojos to give him strength and help him further and do better.

Started Karate in 1979 in Skinners reserve, community hall, in Sunshine. Received black belt in 1984 at a Gushuku with a visiting instructor Sensei Chris Thompson. Have since been graded to 2nd and 3rd Dan by Sensei Kimura 8th Dan.

Started training at 24 years old in mid-1992 with Samurai Karate.
Mainly trained with Sensei Darren Olsen since starting with Shukokai karate. Also trained under Sensei Paul Mitchell in Japan with Sensei Yamada, and Sensei Kawata.
We have classes for kids from as young as 4 years, as well as pre-teen & teenage classes, & adult level classes for teenagers 14 years & older.
Karate is for all ages from 4 years and up.
We have classes for many ages & skill levels to suit your child.
Every child is different. For their Introductory class, your child will work with an instructor who will endeavour to build a rapport with your child. It’s fine if your child wants you in the class to start with, so they feel comfortable and at ease going through their first lesson.
Eventually they will be kissing you goodbye at the door. You can then watch them from our reception area while they flourish in one of our classes.

Does your child love running and exercising but just doesn’t seem to fit into team sports? They’re not alone. Many kids feel like this.
Team sports are not for everyone. In fact, team sports can often hurt your child’s self-esteem, they just may not be cut out for a team sport.
At Samurai Karate we allow children to progress at their own pace. No team pressures! Children learn to set and achieve GOALS continually. That’s what develops their SELF ESTEEM over time.
Absolutely not! One of the first things we cover in Martial Arts is about developing self-control, respect for themselves and others. By learning new skills, you take a greater control of your body, & gradually you develop the capacity to better control your emotions & actions.
We teach self-defence as a tool for personal growth and development. Kids learn to treat each other as they want to be treated. They learn to respect their environment, their partners & themselves.
Often, kids who had difficulty in controlling their anger & aggression before joining us learn to channel their aggression & better control their anger. So martial arts doesn’t make your child violent, it develops within them a greater capacity to control their negative emotions that lead to poor outcomes.
