Like most but not all styles of karate falling technique, take downs, and joint locks are also incorporated. Traditional technique and form is not rejected by Seido karate. Seido karate also incorporates formal adaptations of classical technique to instruct the student in tackling self defense and one on one fighting in a modern setting. There are five belt rankings beginning with white belt. Each ranking has a specific set of skills and forms required before advancing in rank to a higher level.
Separate lessons continue until the student is ready to join the regular class.
Philosophy Seido karate holds that individual self-improvement is the most important goal and that this should be approached from the physical as well as the mental and emotional side. Since it is not our exclusive purpose to train fighters, students of any age and physical condition may train at a pace that is suitable for their schedules and personal goals. Our class atmosphere is friendly and relaxed while remaining focused. Self Defense Occasionally special seminars in practical self-defense are held. All Seido techniques are easily adapted for self-defense.
