Non-Karate Activities

As we have our own dojo, we’re able to share our space with other aligned cultural groups, so they too can practise and enjoy their own form of art. If you’re interested in giving any of the classes below a go, contact the organiser directly. Non Seido Karate members welcome.

Auckland Tsugaru Shamisen (Japanese Banjo)

The shamisen is a three-stringed Japanese instrument, played with a flat tool, similar to a pick. The Tsugaru Shamisen is a type of shamisen, typically with a thick neck and strings, great for improvisation and creating a lively street style. One of the main aims of Auckland Tsugaru Shamisen is to connect cultures, countries and people, through the sound of the shamisen.
