Fun! Fitness! Self Defence!

The benefits of learning karate are numerous. Fitness, confidence, focus, discipline and respect are among the many benefits of learning a martial art. We take great pride in sharing and teaching karate and believe that this ancient skill is an art form and that our students learn the beauty and technical prowess of that art form as they progress. Our students are encouraged to demonstrate good manners, respect, and understanding to help them be a positive part of our community.

Whatever your reason for wanting to learn karate, Ceberano Martial Arts Academy most likely has instructors and Dojos (schools) in your local area. Private tutoring is also available on request.


Our Shihan, or Master, is Paul Ceberano, the eldest son of karate legend Tino Ceberano. Paul first started karate at just 5 years of age and has been a karate teacher for over 20 years. Teaching karate is his passion in life, and he teaches both adults and children with equal enthusiasm.

Our instructors have all been trained personally by Paul, and all have experience in other martial arts which gives them a broader understanding of this ancient art. Read about our instructors and check out some of our photographs of instructor training.
