Looking for a fun new activity for your child this term?
Our junior class returns tomorrow, Monday, July 20, and we still have a few spaces available in our 5pm class.
Open to children aged 5-12, classes are a great way to build confidence, learn new skills, stay active and make new friends in a welcoming environment.
New students can try their first two sessions completely free, so there’s no pressure - just come along and see whether it’s the right fit!
For more information contact Shihan Phil Bates on 0413 183 928.
Can’t wait to see you there!

We have just been informed that the original Sensei of Seishikan Karate in Australia, Hanshi Masao Tada, has passed away.
It was his drive and technical excellence that made Seishikan such a strong school, and we will always be indebted to the passion he poured into Seishikan Karate.

A big welcome to Hudson Von Stanke (front), the 4th generation of his family to train under Phil Shihan (back left) and Alba Shihan.
Hudson’s great-grandfather, John Von Stanke, started training in 1980, followed by his grandfather, Wade Von Stanke (back right), in 1985 and finally his father, Ethan Von Stanke, in the early 2003.
What a special tradition to be a part of!
