The kids always leave class with a smile on their face whilst learning things of value. On the drive home Will often says he's happy he went to karate. This is a special club where my son has flourished and is learning resilience, confidence and is on his personal journey to master a number of life skills.

Raelene

My daughter and I have been training under Mark Golding for 5 years now. Isabella started karate at the age of 4, she was a shy girl and had very little confidence. Looking back from when she started til now (nearly 9yrs) she has become more happy, more confident with herself and definitely more stronger.

Aaron

My son began karate under the excellent instruction of Sensei Mark Golding when he was 6 years old, a recommendation from a couple of school friends. We couldn't be happier. Now five years on and we feel like family - Gold Martial Arts has a real FAMILY focus that extends beyond the dojo.

Jane

My children have been training under Sensei Mark for over five years. Over that time we have watched our children's self confidence sky rocket and their skills develop immensely.

Sara

Sensei Mark and Amanda Golding have guided my son Austin on his karate journey for the past 5 years and now at Gold Martial Arts (he's now 10) which is a Dojo that is supportive, caring and fun for all the kids. With Mark being the current Australian Coach and Amanda's warmth I can't recommend Gold Martial Arts highly enough.
Give it a go, you will not be disappointed.

Andrew

Our eldest son started training with Sensei Mark Golding at the age of 4, as we were looking for something for him to do that was healthy, disciplined and focused. Seven years later we are still here and all three of our children attend the club and are loving it!

Stella

My children have been training with Sensei Mark for nearly 7 years. He is very supportive and shows a high interest in students' achievements both within karate and with other sporting and educational pursuits. My children have gained valuable skills in self defence and leadership and there is a strong focus on respect.

Jodie

What a dynamic, friendly, energetic and professional club to be part of. Amanda always makes us feel so welcome with her beautiful heart felt smile! Students are always encouraged to strive for excellence and work to the best of their abilities.

Ivano

Mark, Amanda and the Team of coaches in the club make the kids so comfortable and make it fun learning especially for the younger ones. The lessons and skills they learn here are life long, discipline, respect, and most of all the skill of martial arts.
