Koryu Uchinadi Karate

Sensei Marc Mathews has been training and teaching martial arts for over 20 years and has obtained black belts in two styles of Karate. Sensei Marc has a 1st degree black belt in Shorinjiryu Karate, a sport based karate style and 3rd degree black belt in Koryu Uchinadi Karate, which is the style taught at his Dojo located at Speers Point. After many years competing in sport karate and reaching state and national levels, Sensei Marc gained a wealth of knowledge in developing effective and practical fighting combinations for rule bound competitions. In addition to the rule bound martial arena, Sensei Marc has gained extensive knowledge based self-defence applications, having worked as a security guard. Sensei Marc has successfully programmed and delivered large scale self-defence programs catering for up to 100 students at a time. To engage an audience of that size requires a polished and engaging program to ensure the message gets across easily and safely and so that students progress and get the most from their training. Sensei Marc has successfully gained this teaching experience from running many karate schools at Sydney’s most prestigious private schools such as Scott’s College, Newington Prep and Maris Brothers, just to name a few.
