Seido Karate is good for all sorts of peeps. Bring yourself, your kids (over 10), your neighbours... Seido Karate was founded by Tadashi Nakamura in 1976.
You don't have to be the biggest, the fittest, the toughest or the bendiest to do Seido Karate. Like all good martial arts, Seido is about personal development through physical and mental training. It's about helping students to find their own non-quitting attitude, to step beyond what they thought they could do to achieve something special. Now a 9th degree black belt, Kaicho Nakamura is chairman

Congrats to Ingrid and Georgia who graded at the Auckland Seido Karate Club yesterday. Super stuff everyone, and shout out to our Auckland whanau and Jun Shihan Lou Wickham for running a great promotion. Osu!
Osu, no black belt or fitness class this Sunday, 28 June. And mark it in your diaries, breaking workshop during class on Monday 13 July.
Kia ora koutou, quick reminder that on Saturday 27 June, two of our team are going for promotion with the Auckland Seido Karate Club whanau - Ingrid for 1st kyu and Georgia for 2nd. It would be super to see a bunch of you there to support them. Bring your sparring gear so you can really share the love. Things kick off at 9am, but be there on the dojo by about 8.45. Osu
Kia ora whanau, dojo closed on Monday 1 June for King's Birthday. Go do whatever you do for that. Osu
Osu, kia ora koutou. A reminder that the dojo is closed on Monday 27 April, Anzac Day observance. Nga mihi ki a koutou.

Tadashi Nakamura began his martial journey under the intense and demanding system of Masutatsu Oyama. In Kyokushin, training was built on pressure, endurance, and full-contact reality—there was no room for weakness, only constant testing of body and spirit. Within this environment, Nakamura developed into a disciplined and highly skilled fighter, shaped by one of the toughest karate systems in the world.
But his journey did not stop at mastery. As he matured, Nakamura began to see Karate not only as combat training, but as a path for deeper human development. This shift in thinking eventually led him to create his own system, Seido Karate, where he could preserve strong technical foundations while also emphasizing character, respect, and personal growth.
His transformation from student to founder represents a powerful evolution in martial arts. He did not abandon what he learned—he expanded it. Kyokushin gave him the foundation, but his own vision gave him direction.
Tadashi Nakamura shows a rare truth in martial arts history:
true mastery is not only following a path, but sometimes creating a new one. 🔥
