About the Business
Welcome to the Itosu-Kai Karate-do All Australia branch website. Located in Toukley on the Central Coast of Australia, our institution offers a unique opportunity to learn the ancient and honorable art of Itosu-ryu Karate-do (Way of the Empty Hand).
At Itosu-Kai, we provide both traditional Japanese karate and modern sports karate. Our focus is on mastering kata (form), which encompasses the fundamental self-defense and sparring techniques. These experiences not only enhance physical fitness but also provide numerous benefits for practitioners of all ages, including increased confidence, self-esteem, coordination, and resilience.
With over three decades of existence in Australia, Itosu-ryu has solidified its reputation as a highly qualified and experienced karate-do style. Our classes are conducted in a safe and enjoyable manner, ensuring that all members, regardless of their level of experience, feel comfortable and supported.
Karate-do is more than just a martial art; it is a character-building practice. Respect is at the core of everything we do, and we strive to instill this value in all our students. The development of friendships, physical fitness, and spiritual strength is paramount in the pursuit of mastery in Itosu-ryu karate. As you progress in your journey, you will find yourself serving humanity with humility, courage, and compassion.
Our late founder and 7th Dan Renshi Shihan, Colin Leong, dedicated over 45 years to Itosu-ryu Karate-do. He played a crucial role in introducing and promoting karate-do in Australia, serving as the Vice-Chairman of the Board for the Itosu-ryu Karate-do International Federation (I.K.I.F). He also contributed to the establishment of the Australian Karate Federation and the NSW Karate Federation, leaving a lasting legacy in the karate community.
Today, his son, Howard Leong, continues his father's teachings as the Head of Style at the Chatswood dojo in Sydney. Sensei McDonald and Sensei Hoye, both long-serving students of Sensei Colin Leong, teach at the Panania dojo in Sydney and the Mooloolah dojo on the Sunshine Coast, respectively. Sensei Gregory, who trained directly under Sensei Colin Leong, runs our Central Coast dojo.
With training halls (dojo) in New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland (QLD), Itosu-Kai Karate-do offers classes that cater to various locations and schedules. To find out more about our classes, including timings and locations, please visit our website.
Embark on a journey of friendship, physical fitness, and spiritual strength with Itosu-Kai Karate-do. We look forward to welcoming you into our community.
