What People Say
I have known the head coach at Voodoo Gym, Dave Kari, for some years now. I have had the pleasure of visiting on several occasions and am always quietly amazed at the friendly and supportive atmosphere that Dave has created; something that is usually missing from serious martial arts and fight gyms.
I love Voodoo Gym and must admit I am quietly saddened when I have to leave. Dave Kari is a quality instructor of the highest order and any who train with him should count themselves fortunate indeed.

Having been involved in Martial Arts for the last 12 years I can safely say Dave Kari and his team at Voodoo deliver a great place to train. With high class instruction Dave always aims to ensure his students walk away happy! Dave is always striving to improve his teams knowledge and deliver new ideas and concepts to his students.
They provide a fun, safe and friendly environment that allows all levels to learn. If you are in the area I strongly recommend you pay them a visit, you will not be disappointed!!

Voodoo has a great location with lots of parking near by. The Ladies Kick-Boxing class is really good, you can learn at your own pace and in your own way. For an ‘MMA’ / ‘Cage Fighting’ gym they are warm and welcoming. The coaches, Wayne and Dave, are excellent with buckets of knowledge. They are both keen and quick to help the newbie and are friendly and professional.

Having trained under Dave Kari for just over a year I can honestly say I am receiving the best instruction throughout my 20 years of practicing various forms of martial arts.
Upon my first steps into Voodoo Gym, Dave took time out from a scheduled class to warmly greet me and introduce me to the club. Dave and his fellow coaches teach everyone according to their individual standard and experience. At no time are you put under pressure to do something you do not feel comfortable or able to do.
The atmosphere in the club is very welcoming and the friendliness and the respect of the fellow students towards each other and visitors is something to be admired (my four year old daughter was made to feel at home when she was brought in to watch the ‘masters’ training).
I have since started having private lessons with Dave and the instruction I am receiving is the best and most encouraging I’ve received. Dave has an amazing gift for spotting students potential and building upon it.
If you are serious on training or even just have a casual interest, I highly recommend you call in and view what they have to offer. I can not recommend “Voodoo Gym” enough.
