Yushukan Applied Karate was launched in 2020 by our founder and head instructor, Sensei Sam Seigers. The seed for Yushukan had been planted over 25 years prior, when Sam was seriously injured in an unprovoked assault as a teenager. After the attack, Sam decided that if this ever happened to him again, he would be ready.

His self defence journey led him into training in the art of traditional karate and studying with instructors throughout Australia and the USA. Sam has more than 20 years’ experience under his belt and still today is continuing to develop his skills from senior members of the Seiwakai branch of Goju, while bringing his own knowledge and experience to the art.

Alongside Sensei Doug Silversten and Senpai Luke Karmen, Sam is proud to empower adults and children with karate and help them achieve their personal goals. Book a lesson with us today on 0420 973 348. We teach classes in Tweed Heads and Perth.
