A Martial Arts School Built for Local Families

Our Rutherford training centre has been designed specifically for martial arts training.

Being located directly on the highway means we are easy to reach from Rutherford, Maitland, Lochinvar and surrounding Hunter Valley suburbs.

There is also plenty of parking, making drop-off and pick-up easier for busy families.

Programs for Every Age

We believe martial arts should be taught differently to a three-year-old than to a teenager or adult.

That is why Guy’s Karate School offers age-specific programs including:

Tiny Tigers
Early martial arts development through movement, coordination and structured activities.

Little Ninja
A fun and structured introduction to martial arts for young children.

Little Samurai
Building confidence, discipline, coordination and karate fundamentals.

Karate Kids
Progressive karate training for school-aged children.

Senior Karate
Traditional martial arts training for teenagers and adults.

Sport Karate
For students interested in tournaments, competition and developing their performance skills.

Self Defence
Training focused on awareness, confidence and practical defensive principles.

What Will Your Child Learn?

Martial arts training can help children develop much more than physical skills.

Students learn to:

  • Listen and follow instructions
  • Focus and concentrate
  • Respect instructors and training partners
  • Persevere when something is difficult
  • Set goals and work towards them
  • Develop confidence
  • Improve coordination and fitness
  • Take responsibility for their progress

These are skills that can extend well beyond the dojo.

Traditional Martial Arts With Modern Teaching

Guy’s Karate School has a strong foundation in traditional Shotokan Karate while providing age-appropriate and progressive instruction for today's students.

Our goal is to preserve the values and discipline of martial arts while ensuring classes are engaging, structured and appropriate for each age group.

Led by Experience

Guy’s Karate School is founded and led by Shihan Lindsay Guy, a highly experienced martial artist and instructor with decades of experience in martial arts.

Our school has grown from a small beginning into an established martial arts centre serving families throughout Rutherford, Maitland and the wider Hunter Valley.

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.

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.
