Wellington Karate Academy is a karate club on Level 1 at 6 Pretoria Street in Hutt Central, Lower Hutt. It has been at the Pretoria Street dojo since 2010, and it started in 2005. The club is a registered member of Karate NZ, which is part of the World Karate Federation, and its Dan grades are registered with Karate NZ. The club is run by Andrew Anderson, a 6th dan black belt. It is not run as a business, and its senior instructors train for enjoyment and for the benefit of members.
The club teaches traditional karate techniques, with a Shotokan background, and it adapts its training to different karate styles. In January 2026 it took in members of Ishinryu Karate after the retirement of Sensei Phil Laing. The website says many members lead busy working lives, have families and take part in other sports, and that the club focuses on the practical benefits of karate, including confidence in dealing with confrontation.
