Impact Self Defence and Training Centre

To our beloved Impact Family,

It is with heavy hearts that we share some difficult news regarding the future of Impact Self Defence. After much reflection, we have made the decision to close our karate school effective immediately, we will not be returning for Term 2 2026.

After many incredible years of training, growth, and shared experiences. This decision has not come easily, and it carries a great deal of emotion for us. From the very beginning, this dojo has been more than just a place to train—it has been a family. Watching each of you grow in confidence, discipline, and strength has been one of our greatest privileges.

We are deeply grateful for your unwavering support, commitment, and the spirit you’ve brought into the dojo every single day. The memories we’ve created together will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you for being part of our journey and for making Impact what it is. We'll miss you all and wish you all the best in your life's journey.



Forever grateful

Sensei Paul, Rochelle, Charlotte, Jackson & Logan

We are pleased to announce the arrival of the newest member of our family.

CONGRATULATIONS to our Junior Eagle Blacks today all passing their final gradings for 2024. 3 students start their journey in youth next year.

Look at these Little Eagles and Junior Eagles Kick butt today for their final grading for 2024. Congratulations to you all. A shout out to Harper for joining the Junior Eagles.

Held our last Gradings for 2024 this weekend. It’s been such a fantastic year with everyone achieving their new belts. Yesterday was a massive achievement for Aidan Nolan and Tyler Cable obtaining their Provisional Black Belts & Callum Cable getting his Black Belt. These boys worked their butts off to get where they are today. CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve all earned your belts.

And a massive CONGRATULATIONS to our juniors who gained their new belts. You all did an amazingly great and you all also earned these new belt.

Whoops, we've done it again! Paul Wingate and I are delighted to share that Charlotte and Jackson are bracing themselves for their miniature mischief-maker baby brother in February 2025.

This is our last week before we all head into the school holidays. Thursday the 11th April is our last day and we’ll return on Monday the 29th April. Hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday.
