Learning the basics

A guide to basic etiquette and some key training terms for our junior members can be found in this PDF.

Uniforms & Belts

All of our members are required to wear a training dogi. We recommend either this set from Auckland Martial Arts Supplies on Dominion Road or this one from the online store Zenjo. Quality options are sometimes available on Trade Me and we also have some used uniforms at the dojo – please ask if you’re interested in seeing what we have.

Belts can be obtained from the same suppliers.
