Dharma Way Dojo / Self Defence Solutions
About the Business
Welcome to Dharma Way Dojo and Self Defence Solutions, located at 73 Lancewood Drive in Christchurch, New Zealand. Our establishment is a point of interest for those seeking to learn tried and tested practical self-defence methods.
At Dharma Way Dojo, we pride ourselves on offering the best traditional martial arts instruction in Australasia. Our dojo is a school where martial arts are taught, focusing on the true way, or Tao, of the martial arts. Dharma, meaning cosmic law and order, represents the truth of the Buddha's teachings.
Our self-defence program sets us apart in the industry, with a focus on the dissipation of force principle. Through our one-on-one instruction, we offer approved certification in self-defence up to master instructor level. Whether you are an individual or part of a government department, corporate group, or private entity, our parent holding, Self Defence Solutions, provides methods and instruction in personal protection for employees, associates, and personnel.
In addition to self-defence, we also offer classes in Tai Chi Chuan, Bagua Zhang, and Hsing I Chuan, the three big internal martial arts of China. Bagua Zhang, characterized by circling and coiling movements, is not only great for self-defence but also renowned for rehabilitating the back and spine. Hsing I Chuan, known as mind form boxing, focuses on generating power and balancing energy according to traditional Chinese medicine.
For those interested in the oldest known lineage of karate, we specialize in teaching the bunkai of the kata in the Matsumura system of Okinawan karate. We also teach the oldest traditional katas in the Shorin Ryu system, the granddaddy from which all other karate systems derived. Discover how learning real karate can make all the difference at Dharma Way Dojo.
For those looking to enhance their overall well-being, we offer Qi gong classes. However, we emphasize the importance of learning it the traditional way, with knowledgeable instruction from a Chinese medicine practitioner to fully experience the benefits available.
Visit us at Dharma Way Dojo and Self Defence Solutions in Christchurch, New Zealand, and embark on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and physical and mental well-being through the martial arts.

Reviews
"I have been attending Steve's classes for about 7 months now and I have seen my body has improved a lot. My neck that has been sore for 4 years is gone now. My shoulders and back also feel less tight thanks to all the exercises that Steve shown me. He is also a very good teacher that will push his students so that they can do the best they can and improve. I didn't know how my body was so disconnected until I met Steve. He is very experienced in martial arts and with very small classes, he could really pay attention to each student. He is teaching me not only martial arts but also to have discipline and to keep challenging myself and keep improving. Thank you Steve, you are the best teacher that I have ever seen. Thank you for being so patient teaching me."
"Steve is the most knowledgeable man of martial arts that you would find here in NZ he has helped me so much to gain confidence and body awareness. I highly recommend him if you are looking for useable self defence."
"This is an excellent place to learn martial arts . You are not just one in a big class. Classes are flexible in timing and suited to you as an individual. The teacher has depth of insight into the martial arts that few others can claim. I am a long time student of Kyoshi Allen and can say my life has been enriched by his teachings.Come join our dojo."
"Steve Allen is great to train with. He has tailored a program where I can attend classes during the week days or weekend. He is totally dedicated to his students. I have been a student for 2 years, during which time I have learned different techniques to defend myself and build confidence in other aspects of my life. As a business owner I find the practice of Chinese Martial arts is an experience that helps reduce stress and helps rejuvenate your health and joint mobility as you get older. I would highly recommend Steve Allen's Martial Arts program and Chinese healing therapy, to anyone wanting to improve there life in general."
