Seido Karate Upper Hutt is a traditional Japanese style of karate located in Wellington, New Zealand. The programme teaches students the true essence of karate: training the body, mind, and spirit to realise one's full potential.
Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura founded Seido Karate with the aim of developing a 'non-quitting' spirit in each student. No matter the obstacles—emotional, physical, or financial—students are encouraged to feel empowered and not be overcome by these challenges.
Practising karate at Seido Karate Upper Hutt instils the bushido spirit of the samurai, focusing on discipline, perseverance, and self-control. The training can be challenging, aiming to develop strength, flexibility, and aerobic capacity progressively. Beyond physical skills, Seido aims to nurture individuals of high moral character.
