About

Formed in 1976, Hennie Bosman’s School of Karate has been a prominent fixture in the Northern Suburbs. Shihan Hennie Bosman, being one of the highest ranked karateka in the world and former World Champion. Our school strives to provide the best possible instruction of traditional Kyokushin Karate in a safe, engaging, and structured environment. Our dedicated team of instructors pride themselves in the development of their students in and outside the dojo. Learn self-defense, discipline, respect for self and others. We offer Karate training at over 30 locations across the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town.

Who Is This For?

Kids 4 - 6 Years

We offer specific training for younger kids with the focus around major muscle group developments, coordination and flexibility through excercise. We practice only basic techniques consisting of strikes, kicks and blocks. This form of training greatly improves concentration and focus.

Kids 7 - 15 Years

This phase incorporates more of the principles and etiquette of traditional Kyokushin Karate like kata and sparring. The progression of grades and belts is great motivation for students to train harder and to reach a higher level of skill, endurance and conditioning.

Adults 16 Years +

Focus on teaching traditional budo karate for adults over 16 years of age. Self-defence, improved body composition and release of stress is some of the advantages. Most adults really enjoy the training itself as it constantly challenges you. Age is no limitation (our oldest member is over 90!)

What Our Students have to Say...

Matthew Nel

Karate has helped my child to become more disciplined and confident. Karate has made a positive impact that can be seen in the way he interacts with his peers. He has learnt to concentrate better at school, too, because karate has taught him how to focus better. As a result, my child has achieved the ability to be self-disciplined and respectful. He loves the sport and is enthusiastic about training. Hennie Bosman Karate has dedicated instructors who have a passion for what they do. They make it fun, while maintaining a high level of professionalism.

Mia De Klerk

My daughter was very keen to learn karate when she saw Karate Kid. I found Hennie Bosman Karate and contacted them. My daughter went for a free lesson and was hooked. She has since become more disciplined and focused. She also knows that Karate can be for self-defence, and she has also become more fit. It is amazing for my daughter as she is always excited to go to class and she will be grading soon. She is very motivated to get her maroon belt and looks forward to grading onto her future belts. Hennie Bosman Karate is a great dojo, and the staff are friendly and helpful. They welcome all ages and are very dedicated to the art. I would highly recommend Hennie Bosman Karate.

Massimiliano Gerbi

Karate has helped our son to focus, and helped his concentration improve, as well. His hand eye coordination and his general fitness has also improved tremendously. Max has become a lot more centred; his karate has helped his body to develop in a healthy way, he has become particularly more focused than before. He has become far more confident & focused. I would recommend any parent to enrol their child in karate classes. We found Hennie Bosman’s dojo to be a good fit for us as he teaches his students to be courteous, confident & resilient. It will benefit any child, especially those who may struggle with ADHD or a lack self-confidence.

Ethan Matthews

My son needed help controlling his temper. He was bullied at a very young age and had anger issues. He is also a very energetic child and needed a constructive way to channel his energy, anger, and temper. He also needed to practice self-discipline and learn how to control his impulses. It has also taught him perseverance, respect and that hard work pays off. Karate has been phenomenal for his physical strength and endurance; it has also given him self-confidence. He has developed a very good level of fitness, a love for karate and the ability to persevere not only at sport but at schoolwork, too. The instructors truly care for the karateka and mentor and nurture them. They set good examples for the kids to aspire to and set high standards for all to maintain. I am proud that my son is part of this family.
