I wasn’t sure if I would be able to start karate in my late 30’s, but from the beginning Guy’s Karate made me feel welcome. I have greatly enjoyed the senior classes, and I have learned a lot in my first year. The instructors are excellent and generous with their time. I would recommend Guy’s Karate to anyone looking for a high-quality karate school in the Maitland area.

We couldn’t be happier with our choice in karate school for our son Kodi. He has SO much fun and he always looks forward to attending classes. On top of that it truly is a family friendly karate school. Best school in the area in my opinion.

We’re very happy with Adam’s experience at Guy’s Karate. The instructors are supportive and make every class engaging while teaching important values like respect, perseverance, and self-discipline. Adam always looks forward to training, and it’s been wonderful to see his confidence grow. Thank you for creating such a welcoming environment!

My son was attending a different karate school prior to GKS, one which we weren't happy with. Since coming to GKS he has remained engaged, he participates in every session, gets excited to go and really has fun each time. The senseis want the best from their students. The lessons teach skills to help the students in every day life, not just karate. They are very family oriented and passionate.

We have been part of the Guy's Karate Family almost 2 years now and the team are absolutely amazing. Our 12 yo daughter loves being a member of the Dojo and her Karate journey has given her so much in so many ways. Many founding positive life lessons, including a junior leadership program. Thank you Shihan and family.
