Seido Karate Lower Hutt is a dojo at 499 Hutt Road in Alicetown, part of the wider Seido Karate network across the Wellington region. Its classes are for junior and collegiate students, and it holds regular kata tournaments. The dojo's website describes the karate as focused on the character of its participants rather than on winning or losing.
The Eiko Hanshi Junior and Collegiate Kata Tournament was held on 25 July 2026 at St Oran's College, 550 High Street, Lower Hutt. Events included individual kata by age and belt grade, 3-person team kata, team weapons kata for black belts only, and a parent and child kata. Entry was $40 per participant, and the tournament raised money for junior and collegiate leadership, tournament and overseas travel programmes. Food and drinks were sold on the day, and the dojo's parents ran the café.
