Tonight we concluded our June dojo grading’s with Jack successfully promoted to 4th Kyu and Teo attaining his 5th Kyu.

Both demonstrated fantastic technique and spirit throughout as they were pushed in partner work and demonstrate their other required syllabus knowledge. They were well supported by the students of this dojo throughout their grading experience the past two weeks.

Sincere gratitude to Senpai Cheyenne and Senpai Honor for their willingness to lead aspects of the grading's the past 3 weeks, and to Max, Kim, Emma and Millie for their involvement with partnering the grading candidates. I would also like to acknowledge Kyoshi Bruce who attended 2/3 grading's and for his on-going support of myself and to the students of this dojo since inception.

In summary, this dojo has two new 8th Kyu: siblings Isabelle and Noah, two new 7th Kyu: Oliver and Niamh, Teo our new 5th Kyu and Jack our new 4th Kyu. Welcome to the sparring classes Jack ☺

Tonight Blue Belts Oliver and Niamh completed the second session of their grading experience and they were joined on the dojo floor by Jack (5th Kyu) and Teo (6th Kyu).

Well done to Senpai Cheyenne on pushing these four throughout the class. I was pleased with everyone’s grading performance and thank you to all members who trained tonight and shared your energy on the floor with the grading candidates. The combined shared energy and encouragement to the grading candidates was great to witness. I particularly enjoyed watching you all give your mae geri’s 100% as the candidates held the kick bags for you.

Keep up the training spirit everyone! Classes as per the usual class times Monday and Tuesday, I am looking forward to seeing the second session of the Yellow Belt grading next Thursday!

Well done to Noah and Isabelle (Ungraded New Beginners) for completing their FIRST Seido Karate grading on Thursday, demonstrating good technique and knowledge of their syllabus throughout their grading experience.

A very solid grading performance by you both and I encourage you to keep building on this foundation.

I was very pleased with your efforts throughout the grading officiated by Senpai Cheyenne.

The grading continues for Blue Belts Oliver and Niamh on Thursday and they should be joined on the floor by Yellow Belts Jack and Teo.

Thank you to all the students and parents who supported and encouraged the grading candidates, especially the members who got involved with the partner work.

The Black Belts and I look forward to teaching you the Blue Belt syllabus on Monday.

Last night we held our first dojo grading for 2026 with 10 students seeking promotion. There should have been more on the dojo floor tonight but some had to withdraw due to COVID and injuries.

Our grading candidates comprised of: 6 ungraded White Belts two families: two dad’s both training with their son and daughter, two Blue Belts (both dojo dad’s) and two Green Belts one commencing college and the other who finished college last year.

The age range: 8 to mid 50 years old. However the consistent showcased tonight was EFFORT and FOCUS ... and that was something to behold and was very special to be a part of.

The grading was officiated by Senpai Honor and she did a remarkable job, well done Senpai!!! I’m sure that those who successfully promoted tonight will be fast asleep knowing that they earned their respective grades tonight. The instructors and I look forward to teaching you your new syllabus on Monday.

Thank you to Kyoshi Bruce, the students of this dojo, and to the parents and friends who supported their loved ones tonight.

I am VERY PROUD of everyone’s grading efforts and the partner contributions tonight, such a fantastic grading and grading group.

Tonight we celebrated our dojo 9th Anniversary. The 9 years have flown by so I guess the saying: "Time flies by when you are having fun" is correct.

A FUN class for all lots of games, block/punch challenges and grade kata demonstrations … with the class finished off with lot’s of cake eating!

With many countries at war with other or tensions on high alert across the globe I am glad to be able to play my small part and provide a safe environment for individuals and family members to come and train together.

Thank you to the dojo Senpai and students, past and present, that have supported me through out this incredible 9 year journey.

To the current dojo members I can also not thank you enough for your continued training efforts in classes. Your desire to regularly attend classes and improve makes leading this dojo EASY and ENJOYABLE.

Thank you to the students and families who baked cakes and to the three Yellow Belt students from Seido Wellington Dojo for joining this anniversary class and displaying wonderful karate and a great sense of humour throughout the class.

A dojo t-shirt was provided to all students of this dojo. Words on the front are words collated by students as to why they train here at Seido Karate Northland, Wellington Dojo.

Sat 13 December SKNW Dojo end of year grading.

CONGRATULATIONS to the “Sweet 16” who graded today. The grading started with nerves and anticipation from the 16 grading candidates as 5 ungraded White Belts, one 9th Kyu, four 8th Kyu, four 7th Kyu and two 6th Kyu invited to attempt promotion.

Conditions were perfect for a day at the beach but maybe not so ideal for the grading candidates who had to endure hot conditions on a sunny and windless Wellington day.

I am pleased to advise this dojo has six new Blue Belts (8th Kyu), three new Advanced Blue Belts (7th Kyu), five new Yellow Belts (6th Kyu) and two new Advanced Yellow Belts (5th Kyu) joining the ranks for 2026.

Thank you to the dojo members who supported your fellow karateka and a special shout out to Senpai Esera for your attendance and contribution to today’s promotion. Huge shout out to Greta and Xanadu (Seido Upper Hutt) for taking time out of your busy day to support the grading candidates.

It goes without saying but without the dedication and support of the dojo Black Belts extended to me throughout 2025, this year would have been even more challenging for me. I can not thank and acknowledge Senpai Cheyenne, Senpai Molly and Senpai Honor for your continued support to me personally and to the members in this dojo. Sincere gratitude to you ALL.

Enjoy the break ahead everyone and I look forward to reconnecting with you all in 2026 and teaching the new syllabus.

Look out for the timetable changes and take the time to refresh, recharge and refocus your goals over the Summer break.
