We are thrilled to have found Hakuakai for our son. All the instructors are true professionals – knowledgeable, passionate and experienced both in karate and importantly how to teach it. Sensei Dhanesh sets the tone in creating a friendly, caring, fun environment where everyone feels valued and that they belong. Hakuakai really is a breath of fresh air in the Gold Coast martial arts community. Come for a visit and I’ll guarantee you’ll be back.

A great caring family community dojo. Sensei Dhanesh is a passionate teacher who encourages all his students in a positive and caring manner. My children not only learn karate skills but have grown immensely in confidence and self respect. The classes are for all ages and skill levels which is fantastic. Highly recommend this dojo.

My wife & I are very happy to have found Hakuakai Karate and have our son join this club. The instructors are very patient, knowledgeable, understanding and very experienced. We took our time to find the right club for him and our son is very happy to join Gold Coast’s, Japan Karate Do Hakuakai Australia. If you are looking for a traditional Karate and is locally based, I highly recommend you give Hakuakai Karate Do a call and try them out.

Such a lovely friendly family atmosphere. Great patience and support for my son. My son moved from another style and Dhanesh and Deb have nurtured and encouraged him into Shotokan Karate and to enter competition where he has gained self-confidence and earned respect. Everyone supports each other from the little beginners (and not so little beginners) to the experienced black belts. I can’t praise it enough!

This is an amazing dojo with a friendly, supportive and well-disciplined environment! Sansei Dhanesh has a world of karate knowledge and he has a natural ability to bring your best at any level. I would strongly recommend this dojo for anyone looking to get fit, be involved in a sport and wanting to handle stress or challenges well!

Great Dojo! We can’t fault it. They are genuine, honest and love kids. Their caring nature is fantastic. Teaching is second to none and Sensei Dhanesh has a very encouraging way of bringing correction. He reflects the true spirit of Karate and has a unique approach of teaching. We have been with Sensei Dhanesh over 2 years & we highly recommend his Dojo!

I am a passionate believer that all children should be involved in martial arts, and afforded the opportunity to learn and grow. The discipline, respect, confidence, leadership, coordination, fitness and of course self-defence are all things that will stand them in good stead for their futures. Unfortunately, there are many instructors and clubs out there that are either in it for the money, think it is okay to belittle young children… Click here to read the full testimonial.
