BRIAN MACKIE'S KARATE
International Goju-kai Karate-do Association
Brian Mackie teaching and coaching students to reach their potential since 1964 Daniel has trained under the guidance of Brian Mackie, an 8th Dan Kyoshi Shihan and Chief Instructor of Australia I.K.G.A. for 21 years.

Training 4 times a week at both Bull Creek & City Dojos, Daniel helps in bringing up the junior members as well as striving to always be improving his own skills, technique and fitness.

In 2012, Daniel travelled to Japan to train under Goshi Yamaguchi, Grand Master of the International Goju-Kai Karate-do Association. Daniel then went onto a small town called Fukui where he lived and trained with the Fukui School team at a traditional Budo-Kan. More recently, he returned to Japan in 2014 where he undertook further training from Saiko Shihan Yamaguchi at the Hombu Dojo in Tokyo.

Training in Karate provides many benefits, but it’s the physical and mental discipline developed from Karate which help in everyday life... Daniel wants to pass this on and help others achieve their strongest version of themselves.

Outside of Karate, Daniel holds a Bachelor of Commerce in Management and works as a Real Estate agent in the CBD. He is also currently studying Japanese and enjoys travelling the world.
