Australian Karate Academy

Great for anyone looking to get fit in an incredibly interesting and goal orientated way. If you have any interest in physical improvement, Sensei Cheyne is worth contacting.

The friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic senseis at this dojo and the overall fun and motivating atmosphere make this a great place to train.

So no matter your age, come join the Australian Karate Academy to have fun, get a great workout, learn some self defence, and get some impromptu lectures on the history of karate.

I've trained with AKA for three and a half years, and I've learned a lot: commitment; focus; the importance of regular training; a holistic understanding of self-defense. I've had multiple instructors, all of them knowledgeable and motivating. I can think of no better pursuit than martial arts for developing both the body and the mind, and this is the place to do it.

Our son started Karate 3 years ago & thanks to AKA he absolutely loves it! Couldn’t have wished for a better club. Thanks AKA! You will be seeing us for many years to come!

Great place to train, make friends and learn real life self defence, the chief instructor Cheyne is a great mentor who spends time with each student making sure they are progressing like they should.

My son loves the Instructors, very patient and understanding. Continually exceeding expectations.

Having wanted to take up karate for as long as I could remember, I began taking classes (at a slightly more mature age) with the ACA 12mths ago. Sensei Cheyne and his fellow instructors passion and enthusiasm for sharing all aspects of karate has seen me thoroughly enjoy training and advancing belts whilst improving my fitness and confidence on a personal level. I highly recommend the ACA and look forward to introducing my 6yo son to classes in the new year.

My eldest child has been training with AKA for 7 years and now my younger child has joined the Club to train. Karate has taught my children discipline, patience and has given them great confidence and inner strength. Cheyne and Amy provide a fun and safe environment and the kids love training with them and have a great level of respect for them. I have no hesitation in recommending this Club to anyone interested in learning karate.

We started with AKA nearly 4 years ago after being part of a few Karate clubs before this one. Our instructor has helped my son reach state and national level in competitions. Sensei Cheyne has been a great mentor and coach. I would recommend AKA to anybody that is considering martial arts.

I have been a member of this club for a long time and I have enjoyed my time here immensely. The quality of instruction from Cheyne is terrific. It is a great group to train with an and outstanding culture. Fantastic and practical training. I highly recommend this club to anyone of any age wishing to learn martial arts or self defense.

Things I love about this place
. Never met a teacher with such a love and knowledge of karate hHistory
. So widely respected that open workshops have students and teachers from lots of other styles and dojo.
. Not a punishment training regime.
. More support.
. More sharing of understanding

. Cheyne is a great teacher, coach.

I was doing the rounds of the martial arts clubs in my area to decide which one was for me when I dropped into this Karate club. I searched no more, that was 7 years ago and Ive been with the club ever since.

This is without a doubt the finest karate school I have experienced in my 30+ years of training. Instructors are extremely knowledgeable and understand the difference between karate for self-defence, competition and culture/tradition. Unhesitatingly recommended.
