Every parent wants their child to have skills to get them through life.
Particularly for the moments we are not around.
Parents hope their kids keep focused at school.
Carry themselves with confidence to tackle life’s challenges.
Building confidence & self esteem are important for a child to grow up happy & secure… and for parents peace of mind.
Parents feel frustrated because their child:
- Lacks Focus or ability to follow instructions well.
- Is shy, has low Self Esteem and clings to their parents, particularly when trying new things.
- Hates team sports and would rather not play sport at all.
- Has been the victim of Bullying and has lost complete Self Confidence & Self Esteem.
Before starting Martial Arts, most parents felt that their child;
- Found it difficult to focus on tasks and finish them.
- Were not able to stay focused for extended periods of time.
- Was coming home from school upset due to some form of bullying.
- This made the parent feel helpless and unsure on how to handle the situation.
- Their Child’s Self Esteem and Confidence was quite low.
- This was a real concern for parents particularly when the child was at school.
Parents are amazed that after a few weeks in Martial Arts their child is;
- More Confident at school.
- Stays Focused in class and home.
- Has Improved Coordination.
- Has learnt some Bully Prevention strategies just in case the need arises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Martial Arts make my child violent ?
Absolutely not! One of the first things covered in the very first lesson is that Martial Arts is not for kicking and punching people.
Instead, we teach kids self-defense as a tool for personal growth and development. Kids learn to treat others as they want to be treated. They learn to respect all living things – from their parents to pets.
Often, kids who were violent before they joined our class changed, and became non-violent. So no, martial arts won’t make your child violent!
What is the right age to start?
We have programs for kids who are 3 years old all the way to teenagers. And we even have programs for adults.
Martial Arts is for every age . No child is too young or too old.
We have a class that fits just right.
My Child is really shy. How will i get them to participate ?
Every child is different. Your child will be assigned their instructor for their Introductory classes who will slowly build a rapport with your child. Its ok if your child wants you in the class at the start to feel comfortable and ease them through the first class.
Eventually they will be kissing you goodbye at the door while you watch them in our parents area while they flourish in their classes.
My Child doesn’t play other sports and is uncoordinated.
Does your child love running and exercising but just doesn’t seem to fit into team sports? They’re not alone. Many kids are like this.
Team sports are not for everyone. In fact, team sports can often hurt your child’s self-esteem if they’re just really not cut out for it.
Martial Arts allows children to progress at their own pace. No team pressure! Children learn to set and achieve GOALS continually. Thats what develops their SELF ESTEEM.
Look what some of our parents have to say!

We feel very lucky to be a part of Shobukan Martial Arts. My daughter and son have been under the excellent guidance and instruction of Sensei Mike and Dion for 4 years now. They have gained focus, confidence, a positive attitude, and respect, not to mention a tremendous knowledge of martial arts skills and safety awareness/self defence skills.....all while having a lot of fun! Being able to train at the various Shobukan locations also gives us the flexibility to balance our busy load ensuring the kids don’t miss out on their training. I have also joined Kick Box and Burn adult classes and I am also benefiting with exercise, martial arts knowledge and training, and having a great time while doing it! Shobukan has been a great addition to our family life."

So friendly, welcoming and supportive! My son (6 years old) joined up and had such a good time that I joined as well. Such a great group there; for all ages and fitness levels. Thoroughly recommended!"

I've recently started my 3 and 5 yr old sons here and I love it (so do they!). My 5 yr old had previously been going to a different martial arts school but this one feels so much better. The staff and Sensei are all so friendly and it feels very welcoming every time we go. Sensei Mike is amazing with the kids and you can see he loves working with them and helping them achieve in a friendly atmosphere. The way Mike keeps the kids focused is amazing also. At the old martial arts centre, it usually felt like there wasn't enough instructors, but at Shobukan there are usually 1 or to instructors for 3 or 4 kids. Thanks, we love it!"

We were previously with another club who after 1yr still did not know my daughter's name, nor could she even kick properly. We have never looked back since moving to Shobukan. The teachers are fantastic and focused on developing the children to be the best they can. There are numerous teachers per class to ensure everyone receives the proper attention. Teachers know every student's name and how they are progressing and are happy to talk to parents about any concerns. Shobukan feels more like a family than a karate class and I recommend them to anyone interested in karate."
Paul & Sophie Franceschini
Shobukan have a unique approach in teaching children and adults of all ages. Their instructional style is informative, professional, disciplined, challenging and fun. These great qualities have enabled Stephanie and Danika to achieve great success in traditional karate techniques and in the competitive karate arena with a number of Australian Gold Medals. We highly recommend Dion and Michael without hesitation or qualification.
