From the reviews
SENSEI RICHARD is my hero, I think about this man often, im 46 now and still use his wisdom a knowledge for life! Luv Ya Bruv!
After first meeting Shihan and Sensei Richard in 1986 here in New Zealand, I joined Okinawa-Te and have been teaching this great system ever since. As Shihan would say, Okinawa-Te is for everyone, young and old.
Sensei is an awesome teacher, my family has been around this place for years and he has always been so great with his students. I highly recommend this dojo if you are interested in martial arts.
So happy to see that my old dojo is still in business (I know a lot of businesses I remember in my hometown have since closed) I attended Okinawa Te for a number of years when I was a kid and I loved it It wasn’t until I was an adult I realized karate was only a piece of what I was learning there Respect, social…
Your first Karate class at Okinawa-Te Karate
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
