East Coast Tang Soo Do Karate Academy
Tang Soo Do provides traditional family values that help develop responsible individuals with solid. Instructors shape our future into what type of martial artist we become. If it wasn't for their time, commitment and dedication to their students none of us would be where we are today. They are the reason Tang Soo Do is in my blood and that I have dedicated my life to becoming a Master and continuing to pass on their knowledge.

Fitness Classes are great for anyone who may not be interested in traditional karate but still want to benefit physically from martial art based training. Whether it's for weight loss, toning, strength, overall fitness, boxing, martial art techniques or basic self-defence, we can create a fitness program to help people get the results they want.

Literally translated the word 'Tang' refers to the Tang Dynasty of China which reflects the shared cultural background between China, Okinawa and Korea (617-907AD). Tang Soo Do recognises the achievement of those who strive to accomplish their very best through determination and perseverance.

Tang Soo Do provides traditional family values that help develop responsible individuals with solid ethics and a strong sense of family and community spirit.Tang Soo Do includes great exercise, stretching and relaxation. Practicing the martial arts significantly reduces the effects of stress and also improves and encourages a healthy lifestyle.
In 1966, at the age of 16, Master Stephen Washington's study of the martial arts began and his life was changed forever, 50 years on and the founder of the Asia Pacific Tang Soo Do Federation's love for the art is as strong today as it was back then. Having had the opportunity to travel the world training and researching the arts at length with some of the greatest martial arts and spiritual masters, a few of them still alive today.
Master Reinhardt started his training in the art of Tang Soo Do at the age of 14 as a member of the World Tang Soo Do Association under the region 16 director, KJN Washington. Master Reinhardt has always been a personal student of KJN Washington and his Moo Do Kwan. Master Reinhardt began his training in Adelaide, S.A, at the Asia Pacific Headquarters and also started studios in Goolwa and Victor Harbor back in 2001.

Senior Master Luke Reinhardt is the best martial arts Instructor on the Gold Coast. I highly recommend Tang Soo Do before anywhere else. Master Reinhardt is very professional, that of the highest standard. Master Reinhardt has extensive knowledge, having trained for over 25 years, this is reflected in the Dojang. Wonderful students, respecful,… clean and a lovely environment. Tang Soo Do is an art that focuses on discipline, respect, health, fitness and self respect. Best decision I ever made. Health, Confidence, Body. The best thing you will ever do for yourself and kids.

Highly recommend!
Been training with Master Reinhardt for almost 10 years now. His dedication to the art of Tang Soo Do, his training and his students is second to none. This a traditional Karate school, the extent of our teachers knowledge is evident in class and he never asks us to do something he can’t do himself. Master Reinhardt is fantastic with the kids too, it’s wonderful to watch their confidence grow as they become more focused and disciplined within themselves. Watching students go through the ranks and see the pride they have in themselves is priceless. I train for mental health

My son has started Tang Soo Do this year and he is loving it. He was nervous starting however the teachers and students made him feel welcome and eased him into the classes.
Master Luke has great communication and I feel my son is progressing well.
Would highly recommend Tang Soo Do Karate!

Would highly recommend to anyone that is looking to train in the art. Tang soo!

Master Reinhart and his team have an amazing presence with their large following of dedicated members. I’m very grateful my son found his tribe a few years ago with them, and must say, he, as an 8year old, is very proud to belong to Tang Soo Do Karate, and is passionate about what it means to be a part of a respectable and talented team. Endless gratitude to you Master, and both Ma’am’s - for your wisdom, dedication and passion.

My whole family enjoy going to Tang Soo Do Karate at Varsity Lakes. We participate in both the children's and adult's karate classes, as well as the boxing fitness classes. Master Luke Reinhardt is an excellent instructor. He is motivating, supportive, knowledgable, and encourages great respect for the traditions of karate. I am very happy to be a part of this martial arts community.

My son really loves it. He really respects master and you don't mess around with Master. My son recently attended his first grading night and I left totally pumped!! He teaches respect, self worth, strength in person and character. It's great physical activity as well. Wish I had started when I was younger. Totally addictive.

Excellent adult beginner classes with traditional instruction from a high ranking Tang Soo Do instructor, Senior Master Luke Reinhardt. Highly recommend for any adult wanting to keep fit, and stay strong and flexible as they get older. If you have ever wanted to take up a martial art, even as an adult...it's never too late. Plus, you can't do much better than instruction from such a passionate and dedicated instructor.
