About
Welcome to Shibukai Martial Arts, the premier traditional Shotokan karate dojo in Oxenford, Gold Coast. As a family-run and family-oriented school, we are dedicated to providing essential life skills for self-defence and fostering a caring and kind community where families can prosper, learn, and grow. Our ultimate goal is to help interested students become high-performing athletes.
At Shibukai Martial Arts, we offer a special blend of traditional Shotokan Karate and Okinawan Ryukyu Kobudo classes. Our focus is on teaching martial arts as a means of self-defence and training the body to be healthy, as well as nurturing the mind and spirit to become patient and the best human beings we can be in all aspects of everyday life.
Led by Sensei Dhanesh, our highly experienced and passionate instructor, Shibukai Martial Arts is committed to creating a friendly, caring, and fun environment where everyone feels valued and that they belong. Sensei Dhanesh sets the tone for our dojo, encouraging discipline, respect, confidence, leadership, coordination, fitness, and self-defence skills that will serve our students well into their futures.
We understand that traditional Karate training is not always easy, but through the practise and discipline within our dojo, we believe that our students can develop strong characters that will help them overcome obstacles both inside and outside the dojo. Martial arts instil qualities such as discipline, respect, and confidence, which are crucial life skills for personal growth and success.
Don't just take our word for it. Our students and their families have shared their positive experiences at Shibukai Martial Arts. They praise Sensei Dhanesh for his passion, patience, and support, as well as the caring and supportive community that we have cultivated here. We welcome students of all ages and skill levels, from beginners to experienced black belts.
