OUR STORY
We started our Karate journey under my father, Joel Narvaez who has well over 40 years of Shotokan Karate Experience in the midst of his hometown Baguio, Philippines.
In 2008, Sensei Joel opened his dojo under KUA (Karate Union of Australia) in Campsie Public School. His Son, Joeceph Narvaez also started his karate journey at the age of 11.
Later on, Sensei Joel and Joeceph deepened their understanding of Shotokan Karate through teaching and learning from their students from all ages.
The heart of JKA Campsie isn't about trophies, rank, money, attendance etc. What really matters is making everlasting friendships from students to instructors that we all have one goal in common...
To seek perfection of character.
Be faithful.
Endeavour.
Respect others.
Refrain from violent behaviour.
At the end of the day, it's the respect from each other will prolong your and everyone's karate journey.

As a school, JKA Karate Sydney aims to support, develop and advance the proper, healthy and lawful practice of karate. High expectations are held for everyone, and ensures that students develop their skills to the highest standard. Teaching and learning experiences incorporate research-based practices, such as the repetitive practice of skills, drills, and sequences during lessons. This assists the transition of a skill from the conscious to the subconscious. As students improve, they don’t need to think consciously about the skill, which in turn frees up the brain to learn new, more complex skills and concepts.
An integral essence of JKA Karate Sydney is to instil lifelong perseverance and determination in individuals and foster humility and gratitude in all interactions. These qualities, along with other imperative life skills, are what allow individuals to succeed, not only in karate, but in life.
More than just a karate club, JKA Karate
Sydney is a family. Instilling positive and inclusive attitudes within its students, all successes are celebrated and each student’s efforts are acknowledged; fostering lifelong friendships and a close bond amongst members.
What really matters is making everlasting friendships from students to instructors that we all have one goal in common... Dojo Kun.
