Benefits of Karate training
Improved Physical Fitness
Our progressive training program is tailored to each student’s individual needs and fitness level.You progress at your own pace in a supportive environment. Physical challenges help students see measurable improvement in muscular endurance and strength, all while progressing at their own pace. You will not feel pressured if you need more time to develop.
Flexibility and Balance
You will see gradual but marked improvement in your overall flexibility as you train. Progressive stretching exercises are incorporated into each class. Comprehensive drills that target all areas of the body will help develop fluidity of movement. The development of core strength will allow for a greater control of balance and centering of your body.
Improved Memory and Concentration
The proper development of physical strength and technique requires mental focus and concentration. In each class, you will be exposed to terms and skills that will challenge you to learn, organize, and remember in ways that work for you. The mental aspect of karate training can have a strong, positive influence on your work and family life as well.
Personal Growth
The most important aspect of Seido Karate training is the individual growth of each student. While the physical aspects of training are important, we place equal emphasis on the growth of the mind and spirit. In addition to learning the fundamentals and application of technique, classes in Seido Meditation are also incorporated into the curriculum. These classes allow students to focus on creating a centered posture, controlled breath, and a calm mind.
Family Atmosphere

Childen's Classes
Why Seido Karate for Juniors and Youth?
Bayside Seido Karate offers classes for children of all levels of experience and ability. Specialized curriculum for students ages 5-8 allows them to progress steadily as they acquire the fundamental skills of balance, strength, and mental focus. Older children build upon these skills and take on more vigorous challenges appropriate to their level of progress.
Character Development
Seido Karate was founded on three main principles: respect, love and obedience. Children who study Seido learn within each class, the values of honesty, commitment, trust, and perseverance, as well as the importance of treating others kindly. Each student is encouraged to be a better person today than they were yesterday.
