BrisKarate

Can confirm - the dojo is ready for the morning! 🌊🌅

Sorry , couldn’t get all the sand off the training area 😂

For our international friends coming to the Soke Cup in August - are you keen for the mildest kangeiko you have ever experienced?

Bring on the first Beach Training of 2026!

🌊🥋BEACH TRAINING THIS SUNDAY! 🥋🌊

One of my absolute favourite special sessions of the year is back…and you are all invited!

Training on the beach (and in the water!) is an unforgettable experience - soft sand under your feet, waves moving around you, and the energy of the ocean pushing you to level up your karate in a whole new way. It’s always FUN, challenging, and something you will talk about all year long!

This sessions is open to ALL ages and ranks, and it’s completely FREE - we would love to see a huge turnout to support our Gold Coast dojo 👊

🗓️ Sunday Feb 22
⏰ 7:00-8:30am (arrive 10 minutes early)
📍Surf beach in front of Phillip Park, Main Beach (opposite SeaWorld entry)
💲Free
🎒 What to bring:
- Gi
- Towel
- Hat and sunscreen
- Water
- Change of clothes (no one wants to drive home in a wet and sandy gi! 😅)

You’re also welcome to bring friends along to join the session - they might just fall in love with karate too!

Please let Sensei Anthony know if you are coming so we can plan for the session 🙌

Let’s make this the biggest and most fun beach training

Gold Coast sweat session complete 💪🔥

Awesome to drop in at and jump into their Soke Cup conditioning class this morning!

No egos. No shortcuts. Just hard work, sweat and good people pushing each other to get better.

August is coming 👊

If you’re preparing for Soke Cup, now’s the time to lift the intensity. Let’s go Australia! 🇦🇺 🥋🌏

Hard work paying off! 🥋⭐️

Congratulations to these Little Champions who earned their next grading stripes in Thursdays class 👏

Gradings are about more than technique - they build confidence, resilience, and pride in effort. These students showed fantastic focus and determination and should be very proud of their progress.

We love watching our students grow week by week 💙🧡

Another amazing class this week at Kalinga! 🥋✨

We welcomed 4 new students into our combined age Kids Karate class on Wednesday - here they are in their new gi’s for the very first time!

It’s always special seeing new students step onto the floor for the first time and already showing fantastic focus and effort 💪

Our dojo is growing, and we love seeing new friendships forming every single week.

Ready to start your karate journey?
We would love to welcome you to the floor 👊

Big week at BrisKarate! 🥋🔥

A huge welcome to our newest Little Champions at our Stafford class on Tuesday night! These legends received their first karate gi and took their first steps on their martial arts journey 👊

Starting karate is a big moment for kids - new skill, new confidence, new friendships - and we are so proud of how brave and focused they were in their first class.

Welcome to the BrisKarate family 💙🧡

A huge night for BrisKarate and our Soke Cup Squad 🔥🥋

Last week we officially kicked off our 2026 Soke Cup preparation with our first Soke Cup Squad training of the year — and it was a very special one.

We were honoured to welcome Sensei Martin Phillips (Godan, Renshi) and Sensei Sandra Phillips (Godan, Renshi) to the Brisbane dojo for the very first time. As head instructors of Sunshine Coast Karate and two of the highest-ranked teachers in Australia, their visit was a rare and invaluable opportunity for our students.

Adding to the significance of the night, Sensei Sandra is the Head Coach of the Australian Team for the Soke Cup, making this training especially meaningful as we begin the final countdown to August.

The evening included a special class open to all BrisKarate students, followed by a dedicated Soke Cup preparation session focusing on both technical refinement and the mental side of competition — confidence, calmness, and preparation.

We’re incredibly proud of our students and grateful to the Phillips family for their guidance and generosity.
