A Great Big “OSU”
It was an amazing demonstration of perseverance, determination and Spirit from 3 of the Dojo’s super mum’s….
Supported by fellow students, families and friends all 3 battled through an arduously physical and mentally challenging grading to gain higher grade success…
Well done to you all….onwards and upwards with the next chapters of your karate journeys….

It was rather sad to farewell Alex last night as she returns to Brisbane, Australia….
A student of Seido’s Brisbane Dojo headed by Kyoshi’s Glynn and Cath, Alex packed in a lot while visiting her Lowry Bay resident parents..
She spent time with us and Brooklyn Dojo and even managed to meet and greet with Kaicho, Nidaime and many of Seido’s senior notables at the Christchurch Shibu 50th Anniversary celebrations….
We will all look forward to seeing you when you visit again soon Alex….

It was another packed Dojo as the Dojo’s first double set of “Father and Son” students attempted their brown belt grading…
After being pushed to their physical limits, all 4 were then challenged with the “self discovery” exercise of peeling away the outer layers of “human ego and prejudice” through the very intense and demanding kata Sanchin….
It was a wonderful demonstration of martial “Honesty and Humility”….
Well done to you all…and a big “thank you” to all the families and students who attended to support them

It was a full house on the night….students, families and friends all turning up to support 2 of the Dojo’s most dedicated students…
Right from the start the true essence of “Seido” – Love, Respect and Obedience was evident in both students as they endured a most challenging and gruelling grading…
Well done to you both on your wonderful grading success……you are truly inspiring to all….
