About Sunshine Coast Karate
Sunshine Coast Karate is a long-established Chito-Ryu Karate-do dojo in Maroochydore, led by World Champion master instructors Sandra and Martin Phillips. Families consistently describe it as more than a martial arts school, crediting the supportive, professional instruction with building confidence, discipline and resilience in students of all ages.
The program welcomes complete beginners and runs more than thirty classes a week across dedicated age groups, from Little Champions for young children through to kids, teens and adult and over-50s sessions. Training covers the full art, including basics, forms, applications, sparring, weapons and throwing techniques, with tournament pathways for those who want to compete.
Members speak warmly of the dojo as a karate family, recalling shy, anxious children growing into strong, disciplined young people over years of training. Operating from a modern, fully matted facility with a second dojo at Currimundi, Sunshine Coast Karate offers a welcoming, structured environment for Maroochydore individuals and families wanting authentic karate instruction with genuine personal development at its core.
