Palm Court Karate Centre was founded in 1992 in Constantia Kloof, Roodepoort, with a single mission: to teach traditional Goju-Ryu Karate at the highest standard.

Under Sensei Mario's guidance (6th Dan), we have produced over 300 black belts and continue to be a pillar of the West Rand community, serving families from Roodepoort, Weltevreden Park, Honeydew, and surrounding areas.

What Our Students Say

Hear from our community of students and parents

"I've been training in karate for 18 years, and for the past 9, I've had the privilege of training directly with Sensei Mario. A highly skilled 6th dan in Goju Ryu, Sensei Mario leads by example—he's not only technically excellent, but also an inspiration and a great mentor. Whether he's teaching a 4-year-old beginner or a 60-year-old Yudansha, he brings patience, energy, and genuine passion to every class. He doesn't just teach karate—he instills discipline, respect, and life skills that carry far beyond the dojo. The dojo has always been a safe, welcoming space where you're supported and encouraged, while also being pushed to grow—not just as an athlete and karateka, but as a person. I highly recommend this dojo to anyone looking to start or continue their karate journey in a positive, challenging, and inspiring environment. You'll be welcomed into a dojo—and into a family."
