With multiple IKGA branches throughout Western Australia and the Eastern States the I.K.G.A. headed by Goshi Yamaguchi is one of the largest and foremost karate organisations in Australia. Many of our leading  instructors started their training in the 60's and have trained with Japan's top masters in Japan and here in Australia.

Goju-Kai is a traditional style of karate with training drills and techniques passed on by generations of past karate masters such as Gogen Yamaguchi (1909 - 1989). This knowledge combined with coaching from multiple World champions such as Wayne Otto (England) and Junior Leferve (Belgium) who have taught exclusively at the West Australian Academy our students are guaranteed of the best martial arts training available. Brian Mackie, director of the IKGA Australia, is an instructor who believes that sports karate can compliment  the traditional values of Karate-do through modern sports physiology and psychology.

The benefit of his experience is passed on to his students who have enjoyed considerable success in both kata and kunite events. With two National Open Titles to his credit Brian won his place in the National team and continued for a further eight years to win the right to represent and captain Australia in several major international events. 'The highlight of his competition career was becoming Australia's first official international champion.
