ABOUT US

LUKE BYRNE'SEVOLUTION MARTIAL ARTS was created in 2008 when Ray Morcomb Sensei and Luke Byrne Sensei combined to develop a new system and approach to teaching the art of Shotokan karate. Ray and Luke met in 1996, and through their shared passion for karate they developed a strong and supportive friendship.

They practiced the art of Shotokan karate and graded through the prestigious Japan Karate Association. Both Luke and Ray achieved their 4th Dan black belts and competed together at many World Championships.

Sensei Ray has since gone on to win a Gold Medal at the WKF World Championships and has continued to produce many high quality athletes at his Dojo in Sydney.

Sensei Luke has also had a successful competition career winning multiple national championships and representing his country at World Championships. He was also the WKC South East Asian Champion and 2 x WKC Silver Medallist.

Both Ray and Luke continue to work closely from different states. They both ring a unique approach to their teaching. Ray shares a wealth of knowledge in boxing and MMA skills while Luke brings his many years of experience in teaching and biomechanics to offer a unique perspective to the traditional art of Shotokan Karate.

Ray and Luke continue to follow the motto they created when they developed Evolution Martial Arts. That is “Live. Learn. Evolve”. They continue to learn and develop their teachings and aim not to get stuck in traditional ways. They explore new and better ways of teaching and developing their students.
