Yoseikan-Ryu Karate has earned a reputation over the years for teaching a high standard of karate. In these times of sophisticated marketing it is easy to be duped into joining karate organisations which have instructors teaching with suspect qualifications.
It is important that you join a reputable karate club. The only way to guarantee an organisation's credentials is to make sure that the school you are joining is a registered member of the Australian Karate Federation. If they are not, save your money. To confirm any club's membership and the instructor's qualifications, phone the Australian Karate Federation in your state.
The Australian Karate Federation is the only karate organisation recognised by the Ministry of Sport & Recreation and by the Australian Sports Commission.
