BACKGROUND

Zei Shin Do Karate is a member school of the Martial Arts Industry Association and our black belt instructors have completed Level 1 & 2 courses under the National Coaching and Accreditation Scheme (NCAS- Federal Government).  They also have current Level 1 & 2 First Aid Certificates.

Literally translated, “Zei Shin Do” means a theoretical true way.  Therefore the translation of our club name is “learning a practical method of self defence through the study of karate theory and techniques”.

Zei Shin Do Karate was initiated in April 1986. Our club is based on a traditional system of karate however our style has branched out with a combination of techniques from various Martial Arts.  This leads to a variety of techniques and interesting classes.

The Head Instructor Sensei Domenic Amato  has competed in and won a number of Non Contact, Semi Contact and Full Contact Kickboxing competitions including state championships and titles. 
Sensei Domenic Amato is a level 2 accredited coach under the NCAS.  He has also trained in the United States and Europe.  Domenic also has a current First Aid Certificate.
