Best Karate Classes Sydney Near Me

4worldlovers:
Karate-do transcends social class, age and fortune, and it can be mastered by everybody.


There’s a great depth to our training, it will make positive changes to your lifestyle.


A legitimate style of Traditional Karate, with direct and present links to historically recognised Masters.

TAIK is a professionally designed full time Martial Arts training centre with flexible hours and class times to suit your busy lifestyle.

Our founder has achieved the rank of 7th Degree Black Belt and the title of Renshi (Master Teacher).

Our training programs are specifically designed for individual age groups. We recognise that children of different age categories, teens and adults are at varying physical and mental stages of development. With teaching experience that spans over 32 years, our Principal Michael Noonan has spent years ensuring that each age level receives the right type of training to develop their capacity for growth from a physical, technical and mental perspective.

This class is designed to prepare younger children for the rigours of Karate training as they grow and develop, both mentally and physically. Primarily focusing on the development of motor skills, balance, coordination, muscular awareness, overall strength and continued flexibility.

The Karate Kids classes are a considerable step-up from the introductory level below (Little Dragons 4-7 years). There is an expanded technical curriculum that gives children a more serious window into the basics of controlled self defense. Muscle control and power development are a focus, accompanied by flexibility and strength.

Older teens, younger adults and adults participate in the same classes. At a certain age, most teenagers want to be out of a children’s class and interacting on an adult level. Our Adult Classes are a productive mix of both male and female, younger and older students. Strong friendships are built through involvement with like-minded individuals.

Noonan Sensei has spent his life studying Martial Arts & in particular Chito-Ryu Karate-Do.

Without a doubt – the best decision we have made for an extra curricular activity for our 7 year old – supportive and community focussed with a focus on discipline and working towards something greater!

I have trained in a number of different schools and dojos over the years and The Australian Institute of Karate is by far the best place i have ever trained in. Its a proper school and every one there is welcoming and without judgment. Sensei Noonan is a wonderful and experienced teacher who imparts his knowledge freely. Training is very real world, hard , fun and catered to every level and age. It is definitely the real deal.

I have trained at this dojo since I was 9 years old. Sensei Noonan is the absolute best Sensei in Australia. The dojo gives me a sense of belonging and all of the students make you feel welcome and part of the family. Training here for 5years, I have built confidence, my mental state has gotten better and as well as my physical state. I LOVE IT HERE. I couldn’t think of any other place where I would belong. I recommend this dojo to everyone. No matter your age, weight or appearance, everyone is accepted into the family.

Training under Michael Noonan Sensei is exhilarating as he draws on his vast knowledge and experience to deliver lessons that are packed with information and insight. An hour feels like 10 minutes when training with Noonan Sensei. He is approachable and always happy to answer questions and provide guidance. I would highly recommend anyone considering learning karate to visit Noonan Sensei’s Tasseikan dojo for a friendly, supportive environment to learn practical, traditional karate.

The sensei is an amazing teacher. He really has a passion for his art and inspires his students. This type of karate is really good for kids to learn discipline and commitment. I’ve been coming here for 6 years and it’s like family here, so welcoming and friendly.

Here’s What Our Students & Parents Had To Say About How Australian Karate Academy Helped Them

My kids love coming here for their lessons. Highly competent and very supportive Karate instructors. Thanks Sensei Ben and the rest of the team.

I enrolled my child for the 2 weeks trial and we are very happy with the teaching. Great environment where they teach karate as well as the discipline and respect that goes with it. Absolutely love it

I enrolled my son into Karate about a month ago and he is loving it. His transition was easy due to the fact that the teachers are patient and kind to their students. Sensei Ben and his wife and children are a very accommodating family who care for their students and the community I have no hesitation in recommending this establishment to anyone. In fact come in for a trial and pay only $49 for the month refer a friend and they will give you that $49 back to you, what a great incentive and you can even use the sports voucher here they accept it. So what are you waiting for there’s no excuses, see you soon.

So happy we found you guys. My daughter told me it was ‘awesome and my teacher was really fun’.

It was engaging and fun but the focus was on form, precision and the ‘why’ of what they do.

Ben is a seriously good karate practicioner and caring and supportive leader. I am so happy to have witnessed his Nidan grading and look forward to training in his Dojo!

Do I need to be strong, flexible and in shape to join any martial arts?

What do I wear to practice or train and where can I get them?

4worldlovers:
To live by choice, not by chance. To be motivated, not manipulated. To be useful, not used. To make changes, not excuses. To excel, not compete. I choose to listen to my inner voice, not to the random opinion of others. I choose to do the things that you won’t, so I can continue to do the things you can’t.

4worldlovers: Would you like to build self-confidence in your child, who is being bullied at school? Our karate kids learn to say no to bullying.

Is there a fun and effective way to get your unfit child more active? Our fun, high-energy specially tailored kids self defence program will get them moving.

Do you worry about how to focus your child’s energy and teach him self-control? Our world class instructors will guide him through fun karate games and drills. This will improve his concentration, focus, and ability to follow directions.

Is it possible to teach a timid child how to stand up for herself? She can be taught confidence and self defence skills at an early age with the right encouragement from a skilled instructor in a fun kids karate class.

Can you teach a child the importance of respect—for himself as well as for others? Our instructors stress the importance of giving everyone a fair go and treating others with dignity. We highly promote use our kids karate skills in self defence only, and as a last resort. A positive adult role model is a very effective way to convey this philosophy.

Are your children disadvantaged by being weak at team sports? Kids karate is not a team sport. Children that might not excel at team sports learn that they can be very good at a sport that is based on their own abilities, and that they can stand on their own two feet. None of our karate kids sit on the bench–their self esteem grows with each achievement, and this is carried with them throughout their lives.

Australia’s Youth Self Defence Karate was created in 1994 to give children of all ages greater self esteem, confidence, and fitness through the study of martial arts. The founder and 6th Dan Black Belt Matt Klein, or “Sensei Matt” as his students call him, saw a great demand for fun and affordable karate classes for kids in Sydney, Australia.

Our main focus is on building the self esteem of the child or teen and improving their self-confidence. We teach kids almost entirely—it is our specialty. All self defence classes are taught in a positive, non-intimidating, and fun atmosphere. Parents are welcome to stay and watch the classes—we have no secrets.
