Perth

Adults Karate

The Goju Ryu style of karate focuses on using both striking and grappling techniques to disable an attacker. This makes it the perfect form of self defence for adults who want to be able to protect themselves in any situation. Join one of our classes in Perth today!

Children’s Karate

We believe karate is a great way for children to get exercise, build self confidence, develop discipline and make new friends. Our classes in Perth are designed to be enjoyable and challenging, while teaching important life skills.

Yushukan Applied Karate was founded in 2020 by our head instructor, Sensei Sam Seigers. Our goal is to provide self defence training and education to people of all ages, so they can be empowered to achieve their personal goals.

Yushukan is based on the traditional art of karate, which Sam has been studying for over 20 years. Sam was the target of an unprovoked attack at a teenager, which left him seriously injured and launched him on his journey to learn and master karate as self defence. Proudly working alongside Sensei Doug Silversten and Senpai Luke Karmen, Sam is a skilled instructor, who is dedicated to helping his students reach their full potential with his wealth of knowledge and experience.

At Yushukan, we offer classes for both adults and children in three locations. Our classes are designed to provide students with the skills and confidence they need to defend themselves in any situation.

Can karate cause aggression in children?

Over the years, I have had many parents ask me whether karate is going to make their child aggressive. Some tend to think that if their child is learning how to fight then they will want to fight all the time. It’s true that karate teaches the principles and applications of self defence, however it depends on the instructor as to whether the students display aggressive behaviour.

Usually when kids begin karate, they are enthusiastic and want to use their new skills which is quite normal. My solution to this is to explain to them before and after their first few classes where and when their new skills can and can’t be used. I also explain the consequences of using them in the wrong environment.

Over time, the formatted and disciplined karate class environment gives the kids their outlet for aggression, but in a controlled way. They learn to use their skills in the dojo and not at school or home or at any other inappropriate place. In the long term, they learn to become calm and they lose the need to want to be aggressive.
