Teaching and testing takedowns during today’s grading examinations. Very hard for the aggressor to hurt you when they are on the ground. Don’t only square up to them - put them on the ground! #PowerMartialArts #KarateAcademyOfPower #MartialArtsSunshineCoast #KarateSunshineCoast #SunshineCoast #SunshineCoastLife #SunshineCoastMums #SunshineCoastDads #SunshineCoastKids #SunshineCoastDojo #SunshineCoastCommunity #Maroochydore #KarateKids #SunshineCoastKidsActivities #SunshineCoastMomsClub #KarateFamily #KarateTraining #KarateLife #KarateJourney #KaratePractice #KarateSpirit #KarateSensei #MartialArtsTraining #qldkarate #KarateDo

🎉 Celebrating 2 Years of Hayashi-Ha Shitoryukai Karate in QLD! 🥋✨ Today marks two years since our dojo opened its doors in the Sunshine Coast QLD, carrying forward the proud traditions of Hayashi-Ha Shitoryukai Karate-Do. This milestone is not just about the time passed but about the spirit, discipline, and dedication that every student has poured into their training. We stand on the shoulders of giants—from the legendary Soke Teruo Hayashi, whose wisdom and technical mastery shaped our art, to our esteemed teachers in Japan and Australia who have guided us every step of the way. 🔹 Our students, families, and community—You are the heartbeat of this dojo. Your perseverance, respect, and commitment to the martial way inspire us daily. Our journey is just beginning. With deep respect for our lineage and an unshakable commitment to the future, we will continue to train hard, preserve tradition, and grow together. Thank you to everyone who has been part of these two years. Here’s to many more years of powerful Karate! 🥋🔥 #KarateDo #MartialArts #JapanTrip #ShitoRyu #HayashiHashitoryu #KarateKids #SunshineCoast #SunshineCoastLife #SunshineCoastMums #SunshineCoastKids #KarateTraining #KarateInJapan #JapaneseCulture #KarateFamily #KarateLife #ShitoryuKarate #Karate #KaratePractice #SunshineCoastEvents #SunshineCoastCommunity #SunshineCoastDojo #KarateLove #KarateSensei #KarateJourney #qldkarate #SunshineCoastMomsClub #SunshineCoastKidsActivities #KarateSpirit #KarateAcademyOfPower

New Dojo addition thanks to Shihan Denis Purvis for gifting us with his treasured Samurai armour. Huge honour to be entrusted with it for many years to come. I use to stare at it when I was just a teenager at the Denis Purvis Karate Academy HQ on grading days and try to avoid knocking it over when filing up the stairs to the top waiting area! What a dream to have it now after all these decades #KarateDo #MartialArts #JapanTrip #ShitoRyu #HayashiHashitoryu #KarateKids #SunshineCoast #SunshineCoastLife #SunshineCoastMums #SunshineCoastKids #KarateTraining #KarateInJapan #JapaneseCulture #KarateFamily #KarateLife #ShitoryuKarate #Karate #KaratePractice #SunshineCoastEvents #SunshineCoastCommunity #SunshineCoastDojo #KarateLove #KarateSensei #KarateJourney #qldkarate #SunshineCoastMomsClub #SunshineCoastKidsActivities #KarateSpirit #KarateAcademyOfPower

Member Spotlight: No one loves Karatedo more than Lyl :)⁠ ⁠ Someone whose love for karate truly knows no bounds.

Beyond his skill, Lyle’s upbeat energy and positive outlook make him a source of encouragement for everyone he meets.⁠ ⁠ He’s never short on friendly words or a helping hand, and that enthusiasm rubs off on the entire academy. We’re grateful to have him as a key member of our community!⁠ ⁠ #KarateDo #MartialArts #JapanTrip #ShitoRyu #HayashiHashitoryu #KarateKids #SunshineCoast #SunshineCoastLife #SunshineCoastMums #SunshineCoastKids #KarateTraining #KarateInJapan #JapaneseCulture #KarateFamily #KarateLife #ShitoryuKarate #Karate #KaratePractice #SunshineCoastEvents #SunshineCoastCommunity #SunshineCoastDojo #KarateLove #KarateSensei #KarateJourney #qldkarate #SunshineCoastMomsClub #SunshineCoastKidsActivities #KarateSpirit #KarateAcademyOfPower⁠

We’re excited to launch our new series of Member Spotlights, designed to help everyone learn a little more about the people who make up our academy. ⁠ ⁠ First up: Paul! Believe it or not, his daughter was actually the one who started training here first. ⁠ ⁠ After watching her on the sidelines for countless classes, he decided to step onto the mat himself—and hasn’t looked back since. Two years later, not only is he quite the personality always ready to share a joke or two - Paul is hitting new milestones, advancing through the ranks, and staying dedicated to his training.⁠ ⁠ Not only is he in better shape, but he’s also discovered a true passion for Karatedo. We’re proud to have him on our team and loook forward to many years of growth to come.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #KarateDo #MartialArts #JapanTrip #ShitoRyu #HayashiHashitoryu #KarateKids #SunshineCoast #SunshineCoastLife #SunshineCoastMums #SunshineCoastKids #KarateTraining #KarateInJapan #JapaneseCulture #KarateFamily #KarateLife #ShitoryuKarate #Karate #KaratePractice #SunshineCoastEvents #SunshineCoastCommunity #SunshineCoastDojo #KarateLove #KarateSensei #KarateJourney #qldkarate #SunshineCoastMomsClub #SunshineCoastKidsActivities #KarateSpirit #KarateAcademyOfPower⁠
