"My son started at Herald Island Karate Club as a beginner, and now he’s working towards his first black belt. He enjoys the friendly atmosphere and has made some friends there. The Sensei’s are supportive, helping him develop not only his karate skills but also his confidence and even character. We would happily recommend the club to anyone looking for a great place for their child to learn karate".

"We love JKS Herald Island, my boys have been members for years now and are very happy with their progress! I find all the Senseis are wonderful with kids and young adults - very patient and caring and kids respond well to them and want to continue learning."

"We feel so lucky to have JKS Herald Island in our community. Our two sons have been training here for the past four years, and we've watched them grow in confidence, resilience and skills. Sensei Cooper, Mike, Steve, and Ian genuinely care about every student and create such a positive, encouraging environment. We highly recommend the club to any family".
