Hanshi James Sumarac, 8th Dan Principal Goju Ryu Kakurin Kan Karate-do International
I have known Peter Zarb since he was a small child; his father was my student for many years. I have observed him grow into a fine young man, dedicated father and husband, and caring teacher of martial arts. Peter always showed promise in his pursuit of excellence in the martial and healing arts, having developed the appropriate skill level. I am pleased he is also displaying the attitude required to master the martial arts. He is hardworking, honest, creative, intelligent and most of all nurtures his students in a way that makes me proud to know him. It’s my pleasure to have Peter as a close student and to call him my friend.
Kyle Zarb, Goju Ryu, Internal Kungfu and awesome brother extraordinaire.
Anyone who has the pleasure of knowing Peter in a social scene will know that he lives and breathes karate every minute of every day (like practicing knuckle conditioning on any available surface!). It is a delight and a privilege to train with someone so focused and dedicated to the art, as I’m certain countless will agree. As well as being profoundly knowledgeable, he is also a legend of a human being. I am looking forward to sharing some training sessions with you all on the sunny coast. Keep a dogi warm for me (please wash it before I use it :D).

Peter Zarb is one of those rare creatures: a thinking gentleman warrior - highly trained, unassuming, accommodating and friendly. If you want to study the art of traditional, functional karatedo, look no further.

Sensei Pete is a highly skilled martial artist that is great at getting the best out of those lucky enough to train with him. Fantastic with people of all ages, he has a hilarious, easy going attitude that spreads throughout his dojo, but don't be fooled, you will train very hard with him.

We cannot recommend Sensei Pete's karate classes highly enough. My 8 year old son has been attending for around 2 years now & has learnt so much. Sensei Pete teaches the kids real life skills including showing respect & how to handle bullying. My son's become a much more confident child & we can't thank Sensei enough. If you are looking for a 5 star class (& amazing community to join) this is it!!!!

Such an inviting, inclusive karate community! My son gets more than just martial arts training. Pete supports and nurtures students in every day life experiences. The diverse training and supportive environment provides confidence, fitness, technique, balance and stillness to kids and adults alike. I appreciate the modern application of an ancient art... Pete is a karate Nerd too! ;)

Shannon Bamford, Unleashed Dog Behavior Training
My 7yr old has been training under Sensei Pete since he opened the Dojo in Eumundi. Not only is he providing him with karate training but also a role model and confidant he will grow with and has 100% support from not only in karate but in life. A mentor who will always stand by when needed. Karate has taught him great skills, improved his strength, posture and muscular development (super important as he has low muscle tone) and his confidence has skyrocketed. Keep up the amazing work Sensei, the Ginger Ninja and his whole family thank you!!

Amazing technique teaching delivered in a friendly and respectful environment. The Sensei offers a kind and gentle approach to his fun and vibrant classes, while offering multi- layered dynamics to keep both new and more experienced members active and learning.

The sheer amount of Knowledge Sensei Peter has about Karate will astound you, you will be amazed at how much is in his head.
I wouldn't have started training if it wasn't for Sensei Peter, and I wouldn't have kept training if it wasn't for his encouragement and mentor ship.

Couldn't recommend a better place to learn karate. Not only did my daughter learn self defence, but she also learnt discipline and invaluable life lessons that will stay with her for a very long time. She was fortunate enough to learn these skills in a family environment that is not only supported by the teachers, but every member of the class.

My 7 year old son started karate with Sensei Pete this year, and I am so grateful that we have found such a highly skilled and authentic teacher, and a wonderful local class to attend. Karate and so much more for all ages 🙏🏻

My son Kalen has attended karate with Sensei Peter for nearly two years now. He has developed focus & patience, made friendships, and values the relationship he has with his Sensei who not only imparts great karate skills but life wisdom as well. Oh & then there’s Pete’s jokes 🤣.

Sensei Pete has made a real and positive impact on our daughter. Over the past 2 years she has developed her confidence and focus in Karate Community and has stayed enthusiastic and engaged which is unusual for her. Pete’s style of teaching is respectful of his students and is peppered with his own unique way of delivering instruction and information (with a few dad jokes thrown in!) I couldn’t recommend Karate Community highly enough!

Mila Borkowski, 3rd Dan Goju Ryu
I always feel welcomed. For new comers (kids or adults) the classes are upbeat, inspiring and easy to follow! For those advanced, there are always doors opening and never a moment where it feels bored or repetitive.
Sensei Peter Zarb is enthusiastic and dedicated to Okinawan Go Juryu Karate Do.

Its a delight to watch Sensei Peter share his love for Karate to the young children. Priming respect and integrity, self love and self care. My children feel so confident and empowered after each session and love showing off their new moves. Awesome class!!!!
