WELCOME to Okinawa te Karate NZHQ website
We teach traditional Okinawa Te Karate at our Christchurch dojo. Our leading instructor is Sensei John Flavel who is rated the undisputed leading authority on the Okinawa-Te karate organisation system in New Zealand and in 1995 John was appointed New Zealands National Chief Instructor by the systems Grand Master Shihan Doversola.
