About Kansai Karate Gold Coast
Traditional Japanese karate, taught with genuine care for every student who walks through the door.
Your Instructor
Sensei Michael Hunt holds a 4th Dan in Shitoryu Shukokai karate. He has been training and teaching for over two decades and is a licensed instructor under Sensei Stephen Kelly of Kansai Karate Academy.
Sensei Michael built Kansai Karate Gold Coast on a simple belief: karate should be accessible to everyone, from 3-year-olds taking their first steps on the mat to adults looking for a challenge that actually means something.
With around 188 active students across all age groups, the dojo has become a genuine community in Upper Coomera — not just a place to train, but a place families return to year after year.
The Style: Shitoryu Shukokai
Kansai Karate teaches Shitoryu Shukokai — a traditional Japanese karate style known for its technical precision, powerful strikes, and emphasis on practical application.
Unlike many modern martial arts schools, we teach the complete art: kata (forms), kihon (basics), kumite (sparring), and the philosophy behind each. Students who train here are learning something real.
