Zenshin Karate & Martial Arts - Woodvale

Shitoryu. At Zenshin Karate & Martial Arts - Woodvale, we are committed to providing quality martial arts training and self-defence programmes to individuals of all ages and skill levels.

Our martial arts school offers a wide variety of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each student. Whether you are interested in traditional Karate, modern self-defence techniques, or weapons training, we have a class for you.

Our Karate classes are designed to help students improve their physical fitness, coordination, flexibility, balance, reflexes, agility, and overall confidence. We believe that martial arts training goes beyond physical skills and also instils discipline, respect, patience, focus, and a positive attitude. These qualities can benefit students in various aspects of their lives, including school, work, and at home.

One unique aspect of our school is the inclusion of weapons training. Our weapons training classes offer instruction in Nunchaku and Escrima and have their own grading system. These classes are specifically designed for teens and adult students who wish to push their martial arts skills to the next level.

In addition to martial arts training, we also emphasise self-defence techniques in our classes. We incorporate modern real-life scenarios into our lessons to ensure that students are equipped with the skills and confidence to stay safe. We even offer specific self-defence techniques for women, catering to their unique needs and concerns.

At Zenshin Karate & Martial Arts - Woodvale, we pride ourselves on providing a supportive and friendly environment for all students. We understand that each student learns at their own pace, and we aim to accommodate individual learning styles. Our instructors are experienced and passionate about helping students achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

Founded in January 1998 by Shidoshi Craig Decke (6th Dan black belt) and his wife Desma Decke (3rd Dan black belt), the Zenshin Karate Club has grown from strength to strength in the northern suburbs of Perth. We offer classes and grading programmes specifically tailored for different age groups, including “Little Dragons” for ages 4-8, “Young Samurai” for ages 9-13, and “Seniors” for ages 14 and above.

Karate, which originated from the Okinawan islands of Japan, is a form of self-defence that has evolved over centuries. Our style, a blend of Shotokan and Shitoryu, embodies the meaning of Zenshin, which is to progress or move forward. Through our inspirational learning environment, we aim to empower individuals to grow both physically and mentally.
