Welcome to the Zen Do Kai New Zealand website. Here you can find information about clubs locations and classes, events, news and learn more about ZDK in general.

Zen Do Kai Karate is a freestyle martial art and an open system. This means we are open to influences and ideas from all around the world and not stuck in a traditional stale style. Our modern, effective and comprehensive self defence system takes its base from a traditional Japanese karate style of kata, self-defence, and strike work while also embracing elements from boxing, grappling, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai kickboxing and includes training in a variety of weapons. The Zen Do Kai philosophy encompasses the principle of "if it works, use it". With schools across the whole of Australia & New Zealand, Zen Do Kai is by far the largest Martial Arts organisation in Australasia, boasting nearly 1000 classes per week catering for all walks of life
