Martial Arts

The Vic. Rembuden, Martial Arts Club is a branch of the Rembuden Institute, New Zealand's largest and most well known martial arts club. It is open to both university and polytechnic students offering top instruction in Karate, Kendo, laido and Jo do.

The Director and Chief Instructor of the Institute is the internationally respected John Jarvis, holder of 9 Dans which include: 5th Dan Karate, 2nd Dan laido, 1st Dan Jo do and 1st Dan Tanjo. This makes him the most qualified martial arts instructor in the South Pacific; in these times of bogus Karate instructors it is refreshing to find an instructor who is legitimately qualified and recognised by Japan.

The club trains at the University gym on Thursday 6pm to 8pm and members may train at main dojo sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Fridays 6pm to 8pm or Saturdays 2pm to 4pm. It is hoped that students will recognise the opportunity to join such a respected club. Come and see us if you are interested, but remember, it is hard training in the true Japanese way.
