The Zennin Lower Hutt club started over 25 years ago under another Martial Arts style and changed to Zennin Martial Arts in December 2017. Our philosophy is that to best contribute to the health and wellbeing of New Zealand and to our communities overall, first we must become the best versions of ourselves. We do this through exercising our minds and bodies, with friendship and commitment.
