Shinboku Karate has helped me grow both physically and mentally. The advanced training pushed me to reach my black belt, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the support from the community here.

    A uniform (karate gi) is not provided with regular lessons. However, students who sign up for our annual membership receive a free gi and sparring gloves.

    We welcome students of all ages, but generally recommend children start from around 6-7 years old.

  • Do you offer beginner classes, or do all skill levels train together?

  • What safety measures are in place during classes?

    The first half of each lesson is dedicated to stretching and warm-ups to prevent injuries. When sparring, all students are required to wear hand and foot pads, with the option to wear additional protection like mouthguards or groin guards.

  • What should I wear to my first class?

    For your first class, please wear comfortable workout attire. You may wear trainers if needed for medical reasons, but it’s preferable to train barefoot. Please avoid wearing jeans, shoes, or jewellery during training.

    Since your first lesson is free, it can be easily rescheduled without any issues. For paid classes, we offer flexibility if you notify us in advance.

  • Do you offer refunds for memberships?

    If you've paid for the month and need to cancel, we offer a prorated refund for any unused classes, depending on how far into the month you are.
