Welcome to Wollongong Shotokan Karate

Build Confidence, Strength & Discipline Through Traditional Shotokan Karate

Wollongong Shotokan Karate is a welcoming dojo where students of all skill levels can learn and grow in the art of traditional Shotokan Karate. Our club was established in September 2019 and follows the teachings of the legendary Hirokazu Kanazawa Soke.

We are a registered club with Shotokan Karate International Australia (SKIA), a branch of the Shotokan Karate International Federation (SKIF), now led by Nobuaki Kanazawa Kancho. We are also affiliated with the Australasian Federation of Traditional Karate & Kobudo (AFTK).

Our mission is to provide high-quality karate training while fostering a strong sense of belonging among our members. We focus on self-improvement, respect, discipline, and confidence, ensuring students leave each class feeling both challenged and valued.
