My child will miss class. What happens?

We will try our best to offer your child an alternative class within the same week. Easily upgrade to two classes a week if you would like the flexibility to attend more than one class a week.

Classes are restricted and managed carefully.

You don’t need to! We will make sure your child receives the right fit when they attend their first class.

Yes! Our private premises has private onsite parking. We are also located across the road from over 1000 of free 3-hour carparks at the back of the DOJO, in the Woolworths and Coles carparks (handy!).

Karate tuition is charged monthly (ie. four-weekly in advance). There is no contract. Please contact us for more information about our pricing.

1. Speak to your child and make sure they know they will be attending a karate class. When class starts, they will line up and do a bow with Sensei. They will then do some warmup exercises before learning proper karate moves! Your child will be listening to Sensei’s instruction throughout the class and following along.
2. Bring a water bottle and have your child wear clothing suitable for stretching. They will take their shoes and socks off when they get there.
3. Arrive 10-15 minutes early!

Yes. Our website is secure and you can make a secure payment from our site. You know our website is secure because our URL begins with ‘https://’ and not ‘http://’. The ‘s’ refers to the fact that the site has active Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, creating a secure and encrypted connection on the internet. You will also see a padlock symbol either in the address bar or in a corner of your browser window, depending on which browser or browser version you are using. If you don’t see these two things on a website, it means it is not secure and you should not make a purchase from it. In addition to this, we use Stripe as our payment platform. Stripe uses technology called Stripe.js, which means that your credit or debit card information is never sent to our server. Instead, data is sent directly to Stripe, who maintains the highest and most stringent level of internet security: they are certified PCI Service Provider Level 1.

Stripe is safer than PayPal. While both Stripe and PayPal take security seriously, and they’re both very stable and secure platforms, Stripe has a feature which intrinsically encourages good security, called Stripe.js. When we use Stripe.js on our website, the credit card data entered the enrolment form is never sent to our sever. Instead, data is sent directly to Stripe. This is very important, as it means you know we don’t actually handle your sensitive credit/debit card data on our servers -you want the professionals to be handling that. Your credit/debit card data is stored in Stripe’s vault, meaning we never see or touch the sensitive data. This encourages good security. PayPal now has a way to store card details in a vault, but the sensitive data would have to go through our servers, putting a great security burden on our website. Stripe takes this risk away. PayPal has taken steps to respond to upstarts like Stripe, and significantly improved their API, but they still can’t compete in terms of security (and customer service). We love Stripe!
