San Bu Kai Martial Arts

Established in 1981, **San Bu Kai Martial Arts** stands as the longest-surviving martial arts centre in the Waikato region of New Zealand. Located in Hamilton’s Avalon suburb, our dedicated facility is designed to provide comprehensive training in a wide array of combat sports and fitness disciplines. We offer a friendly, high-quality environment for students of all ages and skill levels, from young children to seasoned competitors.

Under the leadership of **Chief Instructor Terry Hill**, an 8th Dan Goju Ryu Karate Master and former UFC referee, we deliver instruction rooted in tradition yet adapted for modern self-defense and athletic performance. Our dojo features three specialized studios, including a separate cardio and weights area, ensuring that every student has access to the equipment needed for holistic physical development. Whether you are looking to learn **Karate**, **Kickboxing**, **Sanda (Wushu)**, **Jiu-Jitsu**, **Boxing**, or general **fitness and self-defense**, we have a place for you.

We cater specifically to kids and adults, with structured classes for children aged 5-12 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Adults can join advanced sessions in Karate, Kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu, and Sanda, held throughout the week. We also offer **tailor-made self-defense courses** for organizations and individuals. Our membership model is designed for value and commitment, providing access to all classes and our gym facilities for adults. Join a community where discipline, respect, and skill are paramount, and experience the legacy of a dojo that has produced numerous regional, national, and world champions since its inception.
