Brian Mackie's Goju-Kai Karate Academy of Japan

Hanshi Brian is one of the best, hands down. Wonderfully supportive team guided by extremely knowledgeable and inspirational senseis. Karate is a way of life and they teach it perfectly. The dojo is well ventilated and lit, has change areas for men and women. Has a Cafe right outside and the DOT right next door as well as public toilets.

I go to the City West dojo and am on my blue belt. Karate is where I go to exercise and train with supportive friends. Mackie Hanshi and the other instructors are amazing role models. Highly recommend for families and people who are looking to enhance their confidence while getting fit.

Outstanding traditional Go Ju Kai Karate. Very thorough syllabus. Very experienced and highly ranked world class instructor. If you want to learn how to fight and defend yourself in the most effective way, all with the right attitude and mindset, go here.

Brian Mackie’s Goju Kai has taught my children honour, humility, respect and to work hard for their goals. These are attributes that are learnt over time with the most amazing and dedicated instructors and coaches. Our whole family has karate in our hearts forever because of Hanshi Brian and the wonderful Goju family 💕

After returning to karate training after a 10 year break I couldn’t be happier to have chosen Brain Mackies Goju Kai. With top quality very experienced instructors in both traditional and sports karate I have loved the last 5 years and can’t wait for the next.
