Weekly seniors karate training in Green Island

Everything You Need to Know

The class suits youth and adults who want structured karate practice that emphasises effective technique over competition.

This seniors karate session runs weekly on Monday and Wednesday evenings, giving regular students the chance to refine their skills and newcomers the opportunity to learn at a steady pace.
