At Bubishi Martial Arts, the purpose-built training facility offers classes for both children and adults in Shukokai Karate and Japanese Kobudo (weaponry). The dojo, established in 2002, continues the legacy of Sensei Glen Smith, who founded the facility in 1992. Under the leadership of Sensei Kahlia, the business aims to foster self-respect, self-confidence, coordination, and fitness in a safe environment rooted in the values of traditional Japanese Martial Arts.

With a history dating back to 2002, Bubishi Martial Arts is the Fraser Coast region’s longest-running full-time martial arts facility. The business honors the legacy of Sensei Alan Murdoch, the founder of Shukokai Karate in Australia, who dedicated his life to teaching and coaching karate practitioners. Sensei Alan’s influence as a technician and coach is evident in the success of his students, many of whom have become national and international champions. Bubishi Martial Arts continues to uphold the principles of discipline, respect, and continuous improvement, offering a holistic approach to martial arts training and personal development.
