WELCOME TO KOCIC KOKORO DOJO

Kokoro Dojo was established in 2012 with the aim to help children and adults reach their potential. A combination of Sensei Alex’s experience, knowledge and passion for karate has shone through in his lessons, allowing his students to learn this timeless art with skill, respect and true Shinkyokushin spirit.

Our training:

We aim to conduct training in a warm and friendly atmosphere. People of all ages and ability will get together to train and support each other to enjoy progress as a group. Through Karate, children learn to become more kind as they get more stronger. They will train to strengthen their mind and body, and also understand respect and courtesy by interacting with others who have the same interest.  For adults, we would like to help by not only improving health and fitness, but also release any stress from your daily life through fun hard training. It will definitely make you feel like a different person when you leave the dojo.

About our instructors:

Here at Kocic Kokoro Dojo, we provide Shinkyokushin Karate classes with our head instructor a 3-time National Champion, both a National and International Competitor and World Tournament Representative. With over 20 years of karate experience and a 3rd degree black belt to show his hard work and dedication to the art, Sensei Alex Kocic has trained in a variety of traditional and modern styles including: non-contact fighting, kata, and full contact knockout fighting. Sensei Alex’s hard working and never give up attitude is evident in his every day life as he juggles running the Dojo, running his own IT business and still competes at a very high level. This is a life skill that he teaches through martial arts and creates a positive impact in his students lives. Alex’s success includes three national championship titles in 2010, 2011 and 2019. He has competed at State, National and International levels including the World Championships in 2010, 2017 and 2018.

“Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them – a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.”
Muhammad Ali
