Seishikan Australia is comprised of a number of clubs spread around Australia, and is headed by Shihan Phil Bates under the direction of Kancho Heiji Tada 8th Dan.

The style of Karate practiced by us is Goju-Ryu and has been operating since 1972 when Shihan Masao Tada came to Australia and started up a Dojo in Gunson Street Adelaide. Sensei Kyoshi Tsujimoto replaced him in 1974.
