Kyoshi Tanaka has been teaching karate in Seattle 1983 at the Downtown YMCA, and at Phinney Neighborhood Center and the Washington Athletic Club. He resides in this country and teaches at the Seido headquarters in New York City. The schools of the World Seido Karate Organization follow a standardized program of karate instruction. The progress of students is marked with ranks signified by different belt colors worn with the karate uniform. These rankings are recognized at all other Seido branches.
Students begin by learning the basic karate punches, strikes, blocks, and kicks.
As the student progresses, new techniques are learned. When a student displays sufficient mental, technical and physical proficiency, sparring practice with protective equipment commences under careful supervision. Seido Juku Karate is both safe and efficient. New students receive separate instruction until they are ready to join the regular class. Prospective students may observe a class, or participate in one on a trial basis at no obligation.
