With over 30 years of experience, Wong's Dojo is proud to be one of the leading institutions for traditional karate and kobudo in Australia. The hombu dojo offers separate classes for children and adults, ensuring targeted and nurturing tuition for students of all ages.
At Wong's Dojo, students have the opportunity to learn Ikemiyagi Goju Ryu Meibukan Karate, under the guidance of Kaicho Ikemiyagi Masaaki, as well as Koburyu Kobudo, under the instruction of Kaicho Takashi Kinjo. Students can participate in either karate, kobudo, or both, as these two martial arts are regarded as inseparable by the practitioners from Okinawa.
Karate and kobudo classes are conducted separately, with a curriculum designed to improve physical conditioning, coordination, flexibility, focus, and concentration. Additionally, training in these disciplines helps build and reinforce discipline, respect, and self-confidence.
