About LBKI

Lion Budokan Karate International started its first Branch in Auckland in May 2013 with a handful of students. Our vision is to promote Karate as an essential sport for people of all ages and fitness levels.

The life skills a student learns while learning self-defence are amazing. Self-discipline, being a great team player, confidence building, improved focus and concentration are to new a few.

What our members say

Best place to learn karate. And cost is very reasonable.

Md. Tanvir Zafor Khan

Lion Budokan karate International is leading and one of largest in Auckland region. Renshi Syed’s martial arts journey began with Karate in his youth, he is the New Zealand Chief Instructor and Examiner. His mission is to continue training and to enable people of all ages to learn about how to have respect, patience and enables them to develop a disciplined character. Wonderful supportive environment for new learners as well. Strongly recommended !

Kishor Guleria

I have been to many karate dojos before but this dojo has got to be the best by far. The reason for why I say that is because their number one priority is to help you not only increase your karate skills but also help you improve with your morals and way of life.

Hazem Abughazala

Great place to learn, my daughter is learning a great skill which I think is necessary in today’s world where you should know about self defense.

Javed Shaikh

Awesome club! Great community spirit, multicultural and all ages! The club contributes greatly to the youth by nurturing them via the Dojo, the spirit of Karate teaching self defense and discipline. A reason to engage with people in a safe outdoor environment which is much needed these days!!! Thumbs up really to Renshi Syed, Sempai’s Sebastian, Will & Richard, the engine Hafsa as well as the team at LBKI!!!

Taufil Omar

Lion Budokan Karate rocks… I am very happy with the team at Lion Budokan who constantly work on improving the skills of my 2 boys and all other kids and adults who are memebers of Lion Budokan Karate. Especially Renshei Syed, he has got plenty of experience and he works one on one to make sure that everyone is learning the right technique in self defense.
