Nau mai, haere mai, welcome to the Children’s Programme at Seido Karate Wellington!
At Seido Wellington we welcome children aged 7 and over into our Children’s Programme. Our classes operate weekly during school terms. We are located upstairs at 32 Brooklyn Rd Wellington, the white building with a blue flower, just before the tennis centre.
White belt classes are on Mondays from 5pm to 5.55pm. This class has typically about 20 students aged 7 to about 12 years, and it is from this class that children start the progression to gradings through the belt colours. This class is led by Sensei Cath, and in class children learn a wide range of basic hand and foot techniques, kata and self defence combinations. When the student has mastered these forms, they will be invited to grade – a very exciting moment! When your child is promoted from the white belt beginner class, they’ll continue their journey in a new class, with new things to learn, new friends to meet, and new teachers to guide them. The white belt beginner class sometimes has a wait list, so please contact Sensei Cath to check availability.
At Seido Wellington, we believe that karate is fun; yes, it’s a learning kind of fun, but nevertheless fun, and to spice things up, we have some exciting events, such as our annual Halloween Party, the Santa Party, the Children’s Fun Fish and Chip afternoon, and local tournaments, as well as dojo-wide movie nights and beach trainings.
Sensei Cath can be contacted at kids-programme@kaizenacademy.co.nz
We look forward to meeting you and your child and starting them on their Seido journey! Osu!
