Meet Nick Sensei
Nick started karate at 43, training alongside his six-year-old daughter Brooke. Within a couple of months he'd quit smoking for good, and he never looked back.
Today he holds Yondan (4th Dan) in both the Japan Karate Federation Gojukai and Gojuryu Seiwakai, and has been teaching for over 15 years.

Pimpama questions
Community Hall 2 at Pimpama Sports Hub, 139 Rifle Range Road, Pimpama QLD 4209. It's close to Coomera, Upper Coomera and Ormeau.
The Saturday Ninjas & Dragons class is for ages 5 to 9, and from 9 students join Teens & Adults. Our youngest class, Lil Ninjas (4–6), runs on Thursdays at Clear Island Waters.
Yes. On Saturdays, Ninjas & Dragons (5–9) runs from 10:00 to 10:50 am, and Teens & Adults (9+) follows at 11:00. Teens from 9 can train side by side with their parents.
Absolutely not. Everyone trains at their own pace, with no expectation of fitness or ability. Beginners learn the basics with an assistant instructor, then join the rest of the class.
If you can walk onto the mat, you can train. Nick Sensei started at 43 and went on to earn his 4th Dan.
Usually around 4 to 5 years, depending on how often you train and how committed you are to improving.
Not necessarily. If you've trained in a Goju-based style, you can keep training in your current belt until you're assessed and formally graded into the Goshukan system. Talk to Nick about your training history.
Yes. We're a Play On! activity provider, so you can put an eligible voucher towards club training and membership fees. Just mention it when you get in touch.
