About Shogun Martial Arts Centre

Shogun Martial Arts Centre on Puckle Street in Moonee Ponds is a traditional dojo grounded in mastery, discipline and respect. Led by founder Sensei Kong Wing Loh, an 8th Dan black belt in Shito-Ryu Karate and 6th Dan in Okinawan Kobudo, it offers authentic, old-school karate training that families say is genuinely hard to find today.

Parents and adult students alike speak highly of the atmosphere, describing a teacher who balances humour, encouragement and discipline, and a welcoming, inclusive environment where beginners feel at ease from their very first class. Children build confidence, focus and respect, while adults find a supportive community that makes showing up to train one of their better decisions.

The centre runs programmes for kids and adults across karate, Okinawan weapons (Kobudo) and Japanese swordsmanship, catering to everyone from curious first-timers to dedicated practitioners. Voted among the best martial arts schools in Moonee Valley and consistently rated five stars, Shogun suits local families in Moonee Ponds and the inner north-west seeking real tradition, strong values and expert instruction. A free trial class makes it easy to step on the mat and experience the dojo for yourself.
