Congratulations to the Shibu team - aptly named "Quake-proof Karate". With only two months to train following the reopening of the dojo, our team, lead by Sensai's Tony and Kim, achieved excellent results following a demanding training schedule. The energy and spirit displayed by this group in the dojo was impressive. A great kick-start to the re-opened dojo. Much appreciation to Seido Wellington for contributing a portion of the tournament proceeds to the Canterbury Earthquake Appeal.
Congratulations to all involved. Results are currently availabe on the Seido Wellington website.

Osu! and appreciation to all involved.
Karate is a way of life, a way of being for modern men, women, and children.
Seido Karate's founder Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura says. "My purpose in founding Seido Karate was to show what I feel is the true essence, the kernel of true karate-do: the training of body, mind, and spirit together in order to realize the fullness of human potential."
The World Seido Karate Organization officially opened its headquarters on October 15, 1976, in New York City. It is now a worldwide organization, with thriving branches in USA, Brazil, Germany, Chile, Israel, Italy, Australia, Japan, South Africa, United Kingdom, Nepal and others.
Seido Shibu seeks to provide a safe, supportive and disciplined environment. Through the practice of Karate-do, students are encouraged to extend themselves in a way that develops spirit, awareness and respect for oneself and others.
The dojo was founded in 1965 by one of the pioneers of Kyokushinkai in New Zealand - Doug Holloway.
Following sensei Holloway's departure in 1969 to further his studies the dojo was headed by Renzie Hanham who still holds the position of head Instructor.
Numerous exponents from the dojo have trained in Japan, USA and other countries. Literally thousands of people have passed through our doors.
The dojo has produced several world champions in the Seido system and in 2004 was given an award for its services in the community.
