Welcome to Port Hills Karate Christchurch. We offer karate classes with qualified and experienced instructors in a safe and family-friendly dojo. Karate is a Japanese martial art based on striking, blocking and kicking and also includes some grappling and take-downs.

Classes involve basic technique instruction, pre-arranged forms (kata) and sparring (kumite). Emphasis is placed on good technique, posture and biomechanics. At intermediate and advanced levels we practice both competition style karate and self-defence training. At Port Hills Karate we foster a friendly and respectful environment.
