"Shihan Basil, we are thanking you for your patience and your guidance with our children. Not only have they developed a high level of discipline, respect and knowledge of Goju Kai training, they are also achieving so much through karate sport. With medals in Goju Kai Asia Pacific and World competitions, now to add 2 Australian All Styles Gold medals to the cache is a testament to your coaching.......however we are not the only ones......your dojo is full of young champions and champions in the making."

"Our son started with Shihan Basil (Karate O'Connor) when he was 6 years old. We wanted to help him with school learning, self esteem, confidence, listening skills and self discipline.
Now five years later (my husband has joined) and hours of support and training from Shihan Basil, Sensei Andrew and the entire Goju-kai Sensei's and our wonderful Shihan Brian Mackie, both my children have found their second family. We are blessed every day to be part of Goju-kai and we tell everyone we can of the difference karate will make to their child's life.
THANK YOU Shihan Basil! Our lives would not be the same without you."

Had a call from my seven year old boys principle today to tell me there had been an incident at school involving him and his mates in year two and a group of year four boys. The younger boys were rough housing when the year four boys muscled in on the action. One bigger boy took exception to my boy and shoved him in the back forcing him to the ground face first.
My son then got up and was immediately taunted by the older boys to strike this kid. "Punch him in the face" to which my son replied that it wasn't the right thing to do and walked away.So the principle had called to congratulate my boy on his coolheaded approach. Thank you Sensei basil for not only teaching my son how to defend himself but also how to handle himself under pressure. So proud.

If a karate club was rated just on its national and international success, then this club would be one of the best, but Basil Shihan’s club has far more to offer than just success in competition. It is a welcoming community where kids and adults learn life skills, respect and discipline at the same time as learning the graceful art of Goju Kai. My 11 year old daughter has been to many clubs in the five years that she has been doing karate. She loves this one.
