Oakleigh Karate School

"Sensei Gio is an amazing teacher. The classes are not too big which works really well for the smaller kids. My four year old looks forward to going to his Karate class every week and we have already recommended Oakleigh Karate school to several of our friends."

"We moved to MEL earlier this year and are so happy that we found this Dojo headed by Sensei Gio. We felt welcomed and our son's years of training at a previous dojo didn't go to waste as Sensei Gio was able to work with our son to tweak the Katas to suit the style of his dojo. Our son was able to start at the same Kyu (level) as he was before and felt at home right from the start. Thank you for the great coaching Sensei Gio!"

"Sensei Gio is amazing with kids. Very patient and makes the class fun and enjoyable. My 4 year old son loves it!"

"My 7yr old son has completed over 1 year at this dojo. Sensei Gio is very knowledgeable and a thorough professional. Great communication and engagement with students, parents and the community. The sticker book system provides students with motivation to keep learning and tracking their progress."

"We highly recommend Battistello Karate School (Oakleigh Karate School). Sensei Gio is an outstanding instructor for my daughter and me - caring, patient and inspiring. The whole Oakleigh Karate School has a welcoming and family feel to it. Trained at other dojos and this is the tops in my book. Glad we found you Sensei Gio :)!"
