Shotokan Karate Perth Australia (WSKF) Martial Arts and Self Defence School, GS Karate (GSK)

Welcome to GSKarate, Perth, Western Australia

GSKarate (GSK) is a Perth, Western Australia-based member of the World Shotokan Karate-do Federation, which has affiliated clubs in over 80 countries.

GSK provides a specialised training programme to develop strength, flexibility, balance, speed and power, incorporating numerous traditional and contemporary methods to help you get fit and keep fit. Through the shotokan karate training principles and grading system, students are virtually guaranteed to improve their concentration and focus, determination, confidence and assertiveness, (see our testimonials page - left).

GSK operates four clubs in Perth - at Doubleview, Kingsley, Swan Valley and Queens Park - which are open to students of all ages and levels of karate/martial arts ability.

GSK offers a range of exciting activities, designed to make training and club membership very enjoyable and challenging for all participants. Activities include beach and park training/BBQ's, games for junior members, intra-club competitions, physically and technically hard training for advanced students, and social activities outside the dojo at restaurants and members homes.

GSK encourages karate/martial arts training for all ages. As the saying goes 'a family that plays (trains) together stays together'. We strongly encourage good character and ethics in all our students, and good role-modelling by all training adults.
The club offers incentives for the more committed students and discounts for more than two members of the same family. This means a whole family can get fit and stay fit together.

GSK encourages members to compete on a regular basis, on a local and international level, and provides training programmes to achieve this.

GSK operates under the WSKF grading system (see the Grading link) and offers a special programme for competition training.

Shotokan karate is recognised world-wide as one of the leading styles of martial arts training.
If you are looking to change from another style of martial art - such as judo, ju jitsu, kung fu, taikwondo, etc. - or another association - such as JKA, KUGB or SKI - you may not need to start from the bottom again. Ask us for more information.
