It has been a busy and energising week in the dojo. Alongside our 2025 Special Awards, we have been presenting certificates and belts from our final grading of the year. A new belt is more than just a change of colour around your waist. It represents the hours of practice, the challenges overcome, and the

The energy from our recent Christmas Party has flowed right back onto the dojo mats this week. While the announcements were made during our end-of-year celebration, we had the privilege of physically presenting the 2025 Special Awards during classes this week.

The butterflies are flying It’s Grading Day at Sunshine Coast Karate. The dojo is warm, the energy is high, and students from Maroochydore and beyond are stepping onto the mats to test their skills. If you or your child are feeling nervous right now, pause for a moment. Take a deep breath. We want to

While we love our “Little Champions” and “Karate Kids,” there is a different side to Sunshine Coast Karate that is quietly changing lives: our thriving Adult Program. We often hear new enquiries ask, “Am I too old

As we head into December, we often hear students and parents express the same worry: “If we take a break, will we lose everything we’ve worked for?” It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that karate training is “all or nothing”—that you are either in the dojo sweating it out, or you are

RSVP closing this Wednesday! Ho Ho Ho! It’s time to celebrate a massive year of growth, friendship, and community! This Sunday, 14th December, we are trading the dojo mats for the grass at Cotton Tree Park (and maybe the river). Whether you’re a Little Champion, a Teen, or an Adult student, this is the day
