Karate Wellington

Welcome

You found us!  My name is Chris Gower and I’m very proud to present Poneke Dojo.  My wife Jill and I opened the club (as Mt Vic Dojo) in ‘99.  Since then it has taken on a life of it’s own! We have a wonderful new, full time facility, a team of highly experienced and capable instructors and a friendly, relaxed culture that permiates the whole club.

“I’ve been to my fair share of Dojos and I can honestly say that [Poneke Dojo] is the best I have come by to date. Not only does it have amazing well stocked and maintained facilties, but the atmosphere is welcoming, fun, and has become a second family to me.” Dr Anna Washer (Adult Member)

Kyokushin Karate is known as ‘The Strongest Karate’.  It is a full contact, bare knuckle karate style famous for hard training characterised by power, endurance and knock out kicks.  At Poneke Dojo we train national champion karate fighters but we cater just as well to members who just want a fun and challenging way to get fit.  We teach full time and offer a raft of targeted classes for kids and adults.

“Friendly and welcoming with a focus on what is best for the students.  Chris is a great teacher who relates well to students of all ages (and their parents).  [Chris] has a strong set of values that teach the Kyokushin way.” – Deanne Daysh (Parent & school teacher)

Our kids karate classes are age specific so we can target little ones with developmental exercises, building foundation skills, physical and social confidence.  Our kids graduate through FOUR levels/age groups before they reach adult classes.  This allows us to cater to distinct developmental stages meaning the kids are achieving at level and enjoying their training experience.

“We like the way that the classes are taught with passion, humour and discipline. The kids are motivated by the many ways that they can achieve ie the belts, medals and certificates…. [I] cant say enough about Chris’s teaching. We think the dojo and his teaching is fantastic.”  La Cavanagh (Parent)

Our retention is huge!!  To read what more people have said about the dojo check our testimonials.
