Welcome to Australian GOJU KAI Karate (AGKK) in Brisbane, a reputable and professional martial arts club dedicated to providing high-quality karate classes and self-defence training. With a strong emphasis on traditional Goju Ryu Karate, AGKK aims to nurture students of all ages and levels, helping them develop not only physical skills but also discipline, respect, self-esteem, and strong character.
AGKK is affiliated with Shuseikan Australia, a branch of Seiwakai Japan Karate-Do Federation GOJU KAI. This connexion ensures that AGKK follows the traditional teachings and philosophies of Goju Ryu Karate, providing a solid foundation for students to grow and excel in their martial arts journey.
The club offers a variety of karate classes and martial arts lessons tailored to different groups and needs. For beginners, there are introductory classes to familiarise themselves with the fundamentals of Goju Ryu Karate. Children's classes focus on improving fitness, teaching life skills, building discipline, cultivating respect, boosting confidence, and developing strong character. Children also receive specialised self-defence training, equipping them with strategies to address physical and mental bullying, and fostering confidence and resilience.
Adults of all ages will find suitable karate classes at AGKK, tailored to individual self-defence needs, goals, and skill levels. Women's self-defence training provides practical and effective techniques that can be applied in real-life situations, empowering women with confidence and the skills to protect themselves. Adult-only karate lessons and martial arts classes, led by Bernie Haughey Shihan, offer a comprehensive programme to improve fitness, self-defence skills, flexibility, endurance, balance, agility, and strength.
AGKK also extends its services beyond traditional karate and self-defence. The club offers private lessons for individuals seeking personalised training, meditation classes for developing mental focus and relaxation techniques, and self-defence programmes for businesses, organisations, and employees. De-escalation training and workshops are available to equip staff with skills to handle occupational violence and aggression effectively.
With multiple training locations throughout Brisbane, including Taigum State School (Honbu/Headquarters) Dojo, Albany Creek Dojo, Bracken Ridge Dojo, and Northgate Dojo (for adults only), AGKK provides convenient access to quality martial arts training and lessons.
