About Perth Karate Dojo
Perth Karate Dojo is a traditional karate school based in Carlisle, in Perth's inner south-east, teaching Matsubayashi-ryu (Shorin-ryu) karate-do. It operates as a study group practising under the supervision of a branch dojo, which keeps the training rooted in an authentic Okinawan lineage rather than a generic mixed-martial-arts approach. Reviewers describe a welcoming atmosphere where you feel part of the group from day one.
Training strikes a balance between structured, traditional practice and supporting each student's individual progress, with knowledgeable and genuinely friendly instruction. The dojo caters to both juniors and adults, making it suitable for families as well as individuals wanting to take up a classical martial art in a disciplined but supportive setting.
For anyone in the Carlisle area drawn to traditional Japanese karate — its etiquette, kata and grading pathway — Perth Karate Dojo offers a grounded, community-focused environment. It suits complete beginners curious about Matsubayashi-ryu as much as more experienced karateka looking to train within a recognised traditional system close to home.
