A Shotokan karate dojo on Kitchener Road in Milford, on the North Shore, run in the style of the Japan Karate Association's headquarters dojo in Tokyo. The club was formed in 2018 by Peter and Yuriko Zimmatore, who lived in Japan for many years and trained at the JKA headquarters there. Peter is the chief instructor and holds 5th dan. Yuriko is a joint instructor and holds 3rd dan. The Milford dojo is run by Kriez and Teresa, who both began karate in the JKA Philippines more than 40 years ago and trained with the Zimmatores when they arrived in New Zealand. The club is affiliated to the JKA through JKA Auckland, and it follows a traditional Japanese style of instruction. The club's own material describes karate as demanding, with progress coming from steady effort over a long road. It is a place for people who want a serious, structured Shotokan training.
