CENTRE OF MARTIAL ARTS
Shotokan Karate Gold Coast

Centre of Martial Arts is a family owned and operated Martial Arts School in Carrara, Gold Coast. Here at Centre of Martial Arts we teach much more than punches and kicks, we provide a safe learning environment that brings out your best, whether it’s for self-defence, to compete at the highest level or to join like minded people.
We have martial arts classes suitable for kids 3 years of age all the way through to Adults and we welcome all ability levels - beginner to elite. We offer classes in Karate, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Women’s Self-Defence, Fitness, Weaponry, Extreme Martial Arts, Leadership, Tournament Sparring and Anti Bullying.
Life skills
Our kids’ classes work through our Black Belt Principles character development program, with Harry and Friends, (the programs fun and informative cartoon characters). Students not only learn their martial arts lesson they also learn about a new life skill each month, such as honesty, with weekly lessons to reinforce each month’s life skill.
After trying other centres, we've settled at Centre of Martial Arts for the long run. Sensei Martin and Sempai Jess run an incredible centre that is just like a big family. My 2 girls (4yo & 6yo) love coming to Karate each week. My son will start as soon as he turns 3yo. They are learning and extending on all the skills that are vital in life - respect, discipline, strength, independence, friendships and of course, lots of fun. I'll continue to recommend Centre of Martial Arts to everyone.
