Welcome to JKA Fremantle

JKA Fremantle is a proud member of JKA KDA Australia. We practice the original Shotokan karate style, as taught by Funakoshi Gichen Sensei, founder of modern day Karate.  JKA is headquartered in Japan and the JKA budo karate we uncompromisingly practice is specified by a Japanese-based Chief Instructor. 

JKA karate is focused on developing and perfecting ‘kime’, requiring both mental and physical concentration. Kime is generated by the balance of strong stances, focus, timing and speed of techniques.  ‘Point scoring’ is not the purpose of JKA karate - our focus is on the importance of dedication, commitment and discipline.

JKA shotokan karate is a non aggressive self defence martial art. Our goal is to develop and promote JKA karate in Australia with the highest level of standards in keeping with the technical requirements set by JKA HQ.  Our goal is to grow and to help all our students achieve their personal goals and aspirations. 

Karate helps develop strength, coordination and agility and can be practised at any time and in any place, for any length of time by men, women and children. It requires no special equipment. Karate fosters the development of spiritual qualities: courage, courtesy, integrity, humility and self control.
