PROFILE

Meet your new Instructor.

​

Simon Shihan

​

“From the first time I walked into a dojo in Sydney’s Inner West, I knew that karate would be always in my life.  To witness the strength and power in that training hall and the personal and group spirit within, I knew it was what I was looking for.  This was in 1986.  I completed the Shodan test in 1990 and was recognised by the world esteemed Oyama Masutatsu Sosai in 1991.  Meeting and training with some of the best Martial Artists in the world now allows me to share my knowledge with the next generation as they seek the Ultimate Truth.”
