Why Tarragindi families choose Kansai Karate
A real southside dojo
Kansai Karate Tarragindi trains at the Wellers Hill Bowls Club — a proper, purpose-run dojo that's been part of the southside community for years.
Sensei Jason Sallaway
Sensei Jason holds a senior rank in Shitoryu Shukokai karate under Shihan Stephen Kelly. He's been teaching for years and genuinely loves it — you'll see that in every class.
Traditional Shitoryu Shukokai
Not a commercial fitness program. Kansai Karate teaches authentic Japanese karate with an unbroken lineage — the same style as the main Kansai Karate Academy.
Class times that actually fit
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings — designed to fit around school runs, work schedules and the realities of southside Brisbane family life.
