Lower Hutt Seido Karate

It was an evening of absolute courage and determination as 8 of the Dojo’s talented juniors battled their way to grading success…

Well supported by families, friends and fellow students each one gave their very very best in their own unique ways…

Well done to an amazing and talented bunch of wonderful young karate-ka….

OSU from us all….

The significance of “White Ribbon Day” was marked by the Dojo’s adult students with all students donning white belts for classes this week…

The recognition, awareness and prevention of domestic violence and violence towards women an important part of the values system within the Dojo…

Thank you to all adults students for their acknowledgement and reinforcement of our Dojo values by returning yourselves to the beginning of your own karate journey’s by wearing your white belts this week…

Warmest and Sincere regards

It was the “Most Perfect of Trips” for this year’s Junior Leadership Group of students, their parents, their families and all accompanying adult students and class instructors….

We couldn’t have wished for more…fantastic weather, great company and an amazing day of competition….

And to top it all off, we celebrated our successes and achievements together with pizza and refreshments at our Hotel’s rooftop pool with the kids….

Thank you to all our amazing sponsors, parents, families and students for making the trip possible and perfect…

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
