Welcome
to Miyagi Kan

Miyagi Kan is one of the most respected Karate organisations in Australia and was founded by Shihan George Barounis in 1976 after returning from Japan where he trained in the traditional ways of Karate.

Training is available for men, women and children of all ages and will not only improve your ability to defend yourself, but will also help you to increase your flexibility, speed, timing and overall confidence.

Miyagi Kan is a member of the NSW Karate Federation (NSWKF) and Australian Karate Federation (AKF), which are the official recognised governing bodies for karate by the Australian Sports Commission.

This means that Miyagi Kan students are able to enter sport karate competitions that are run by the AKF such as the State and National Championships. There are local, national and international competitions held throughout the year, from novice to elite level. Miyagi Kan students consistently excel at all levels of competition.
