YOUR INVITATION
WAVERLEY DOJO
Learning Martial arts in Melbourne is fun and provides lifelong benefits. You may think it will be a little intimidating jumping right into a class.
So, we invite you to come in for some private lessons with no obligation to join.
We will even fit you out in your own uniform to get started.
You will learn some basic skills and we can answer all your questions.
OUR CLASSES
In Samurai Karate Weverley classes, you or your child will experience a dynamic program, designed to channel the student’s energy and focus in applying their developing karate skills, in a supportive friendly environment. With time and consistent practice they will enjoy the fruits of their training, obtaining various levels throughout their development. As in the dojo (karate training area) also in life, the students development will transfer into success skills in everyday life.

WAVERLEY HEAD INSTRUCTOR
Rebecca Porteus
4th Dan
My karate journey began at the age of 19, training in the traditional style of Go Ju Ryu in Sydney under Shihan Tsanidis and Sensei Pat Drago. I achieved my Shodan in 2002 and trained for many years before taking time away due to a knee injury. After relocating to Melbourne, I began my Shukokai journey at the Waverley Dojo under Sensei Charles Bayliss and Sensei Adrian. While different in structure, Shukokai’s traditional foundations resonated deeply and have become central to who I am both as a karateka and as a person.
I am a direct student of Soke Paul Mitchell (9th Dan) and have had the privilege of training internationally in Japan, New Zealand and Bangkok. I currently hold the rank of Jun Shidoin Yondan Kenshi and train under Chief Instructor Shihan Darren Olsen and Sensei Rocky Simmons.
As Chief Instructor at Waverley Dojo, I draw on over 30 years’ experience in Early Childhood and Special Education to teach students from Tiny Ninjas to senior adults. I am passionate about developing confidence, self-esteem and personal growth, embracing the true meaning of Shukokai – “the way for all.”
