I regularly thought about joining a martial arts sports, but hadn’t taken any action towards it. And by a stroke of serendipity, Craig invited me to join the classes at Elanora. I needed no further encouragement.

I felt nervous that Craig’s classes might be beyond my capabilities, however was quickly set at ease by his relaxed manner. Craig treats his students as individuals, while also catering to a group of diverse levels. It is great to have a teacher who is both experienced and passionate about his craft, and for the development of others.

I have the option to extend my training sessions, when I want to go the extra mile. I enjoy the personal confidence that learning a martial art has given me.

Watching my son's transformation has been the highlight of our time at TRK Karate. His confidence has soared, not just in his physical abilities but in his everyday life. The lessons are more than just about martial arts; they're about developing character, resilience, and respect for oneself and others. Sensei Craig is incredibly skilled, patient, and genuinely interested in each student's growth.

As a father actively participating and training with my son at TRK Karate for the past six years, I am compelled to share our remarkable journey. From the very start, the sense of unity and devotion at TRK Karate was clear. The dojo fosters an atmosphere where respect and discipline are not just taught but are integral qualities demonstrated by everyone involved.

Our experience has been filled with great memories, from the excitement of belt testing days to the camaraderie at events and competitions. The sense of achievement and progress is always celebrated, which has been incredibly motivating for both of us.

I am grateful for the experiences we've shared and the life lessons we've learned. For those pondering whether to join, I can sincerely affirm that choosing to be part of TRK Karate has been an incredibly rewarding decision for both my son and myself.

Sensei Craig is dedicated to improving all of his students and encouraging them to surpass their limits. He's incredibly experienced, trained with some of the top Goju-Ryu masters of Japan and is always eager to share his knowledge and experience with his students. He is also very clear and thorough when conveying his training which drastically helps students of all ages.

I've been training under Sensei Craig for over 3 years now and I can honestly say it's been an epic 3 years! I've been in and out of various different martial arts most of my life and I've never enjoyed anything as much as I enjoy TKR Karate.

I've always dreamt of becoming a black belt since I was a little kid and Sensei Craig is determined to make sure that he gets me there. He's not only been a solid Karate instructor to me but also a role model I can be and am inspired by. I hope to continue training with Sensei Craig for many, many years to come as well as my awesome fellow pupils.
