The Bayside Seido Dojo was opened on 10th June 2003 by Jun Shihan Darek Lebek (Head Instructor). Since then it has slowly grown and helped all manner of students to achieve their best potential.
Jun Shihan Darek Lebek is a 6th Dan Black Belt with many years experience in both teaching Seido Karate and Self Defence (he taught Self Defence to the general public and the South African Police Force in South Africa where he lived for 13 years).
Senpai Sher-lene Lebek (Shihan's wife) is a 3rd Dan Black Belt, an Assistant Instructor and she helps out with all the administrative tasks of running the Seido Bayside Dojo.

We invite you to come and learn Karate with us. We are friendly, patient and experienced. You will find that this Positive Culture exists Worldwide throughout Seido Karate.
Our founder Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura wanted to emphasize becoming stronger to help fellow human beings rather than becoming stronger for our own personal gain.
We hope that if you join us, that you will find your own inner peace and be able to walk this path too.

As part of a Worldwide Organization the Bayside Seido Dojo regularly takes part in Karate Events with the other Seido Dojo’s in Australia.
Worldwide events at Honbu (Headquarters in New York) are also organized regularly to help maintain international relationships.
The welcoming atmosphere at these Seido events is very refreshing, and the bond formed between people is often strong because we have the common bond of training together, sweating together.
We invite you to be a part of this Special Unique training atmosphere too.
Come and join us!
