"where we not only teach karate, but we teach..."

Respect - Love - Obedience

RESPECT: - an act of giving particular attention, consideration and esteem. Respect for others is paramount in developing a caring attitude and benevolence for fellow human beings.

LOVE: - the unselfish, loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another. We learn to be benevolent in our actions as well as our word - giving ourselves for no gain but to benefit others.

OBEDIENCE: - an act or instance of obeying. Obedience to the higher moral values that must make up our society for everyone to flourish. Our responsibility to other members of society must never be forgotten and also a reminder to ourselves of our duties as citizens and responsible members of society.

Seido ("say-dough") karate provides training for self-development, self-defense, and physical fitness for adults and children. See the main Seido website at www.seido.com for more information about Seido karate, the World Seido Karate Organization, and its founder, Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura and his son, Nidaime Akira Nakamura, Vice Chairman.

What Is Seido Karate?

Seido Karate is traditional Japanese style of karate, into which it’s Founder and Chairperson, Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura, has distilled the essence of what he has learned about the martial arts in over 35 years of study, practice, and teaching.

The World Seido Karate Organization officially opened its headquarters on October 15, 1976, in New York City. We are now a worldwide organization, with thriving branches in such diverse places as Australia, New Zealand, the Republic of South Africa, England, and South America.  

Yet, throughout the years of growth and accomplishment, we've never lost sight of the focus and discipline of true karate Do -- our classes are still fundamentally the same as they were more than three decades ago. And more importantly, they are the same classes traditional Japanese karateka would have been familiar with more than a century ago.

We invite you to learn more about Seido Karate, its founder, our style's leadership today, our philosophy, and the rest of the complete picture which makes Seido Karate so attractive to those interested in true Japanese karate and changing their lives.
