Head Instructor
Sensei Danny Jaajaa
Danny Jaajaa began training in Kyokushin Karate in 1989 under the instruction of Shihan Nik Cujic (Branch Chief, 7th Dan) and Shihan Joy Cujic (5th Dan).
At the age of 17, he achieved his Shodan (1st Dan Black Belt), and was graded to Nidan (2nd Dan Black Belt) in 2005 and Sandan (3rd Dan Black Belt) in 2012.
In 2024, under the assessment of Kancho Shokei Matsui, Director of IKO, Danny was graded to Yondan (4th Dan Black Belt).
In 2015, Danny established his own dojo – Kyokushin Karate Menai – and in 2026 expanded his dojo to include a second location in Greenacre, under the new name Kyokushin Karate Academy.
Danny regularly attends seminars and conferences, both locally and internationally, and is a highly active member in the local Kyokushin Organisation in Australia. His ongoing commitment and contribution includes assisting in the running of National Tournaments, and instructing at and assisting with training camps, seminars and gradings.
Danny has refined his technique as both a student and instructor, and his life’s dream is to pass on his knowledge to his students and empower them to make a difference in their lives and in the lives of others.
