What is Karate?

Karate is a martial art and system of self-defence that originated hundreds of years ago in Okinawa but was greatly influenced by an even older tradition from China. Literally, “karate-do” means “the way of the empty hand,” referring to the fact that its practitioners use no weapons to attack and defend, but only the hands, feet, and body. Yet karate is much more than merely physical. It is founded on a grand philosophical and spiritual tradition based on Bushido and Zen Buddhist principles. Through hard training and practice, karate develops not only the body but also the mind and character.

Why Stirling Karate Perth?

At Stirling Karate, we believe in more than just martial arts training. Our environment fosters traditional JKA karate, tournament training, sports karate training, self-defence and fitness. We also nurture positive values, instilling confidence, discipline, focus, resilience, respect and overall well-being. Our teaching goes beyond the physical aspects of Karate. Karate is rather a journey of self-discovery, inner strength and resilience. With a unique blend of traditional techniques and modern approaches, Stirling Karate is a place where learning to punch, block and kick is just the beginning of self-discovery, development and resilience.

We open our doors to students of all ages, backgrounds and physical fitness levels, inviting them to join our inclusive and supportive karate family. Stirling Karate Perth offers a welcoming community, united in the pursuit of personal growth.
