The Traditional Shotokan Karate Federation Australia is a not-for-profit organisation, teaching Shotokan Karate through over 30 Dojos across Australia. TSKFA instructors follow the original teachings of the Shotokan founder Gichin Funakoshi and the late Master Masatoshi Nakayama.
TSKFA truly believes that the #1 principle “Never forget that karate begins and ends with respect” should always be followed. We promote strong moral principles, traditional etiquette and the encouragement of goodwill and harmony among all karateka. You can view the National website here.
We train Mondays and Tuesdays from 6pm till 8pm at Tyalla Public School in Coffs Harbour.
