GKR Karate Region 19 Auckland, New Zealand

07/06/2026

Some of the Auckland Black Belts (plus a few visitors from Wellington and Christchurch) were treated to two Kobudo sessions this weekend with Tuari Dawson Kyoshi and Pete Rostedt Sensei.
It was awesome to learn and explore new ideas and concepts...the martial way is truly a journey not a destination!
Thankyou for a wonderful weekend of training 😀👊🏻

👊 Track It. Improve It. Achieve It. 👊

We’ll be handing out our new student progress cards over the coming weeks.

These cards are there to help you:
✅ See how far you’ve come
✅ Identify what you’re working towards
✅ Set clear goals for your next grading

Progress doesn’t happen by accident; it happens with focus and consistency 🥋

Thank you Gkr Karate region 21, Sensei Neil Boddington, Tuari Dawson Kyoshi and Peter Sensei.

Yesterday GKR Wellington were proud to have hosted a Kobudo Seminar with 2 special guests, Tuari Kyoshi and Peter Sensei. Our Black belts had an amazing experience under your teachings! Thank you so much for your time and knowledge. We look forward to learning more! I know our Senior Instructors who travelled from Auckland and Hamilton thoroughly enjoyed themselves too! 👊
