CLASS
DESCRIPTION
The
physical training in Seido is strenuous, emphasizing progressive
development of
strength, flexibility, and aerobic capacity. One of the goals of Seido
karate
training is to develop strong bodies, which contributes to health and a
general
sense of self-confidence and well-being. In addition to developing
students
with the highest level of physical skills, Seido aims to develop
individuals of
the highest moral character, individuals who can then make significant
contributions to a better life in the family, the work place, and in
society at
large.
When you
start you attend classes we'll allow you
to ease
into the program slowly and safely. It is not necessary that you have
any
previous karate experience or that you are in good condition. You
progress at a
pace consistent with your ability and level of fitness. You are neither
moved
too fast nor held back. If you have previous experience or are in good
physical
condition you can progress more quickly. If you need more time to
develop, you
will not feel pressured. Everyone is treated as an individual.
Physical
Fitness
Seido
Karate provides you with a complete program in physical conditioning.
Our
exercises are safe, effective, and tailored to your individual needs.
Seido
Karate training utilizes virtually every muscle
in your
body. You'll notice new power and stamina as your entire body becomes
firm
and
toned. Seido Karate develops flexibility and coordination.
Seido
Meditation
Our
program develops both the mind and the body. Seido Meditation is a
time-proven
method for developing a calm, focused mind. Through our meditation
program, you
will achieve the ability to concentrate more fully and think more
clearly.
Meditation is a part of every class. Our meditation, combined with our
karate training
develops a
quality we call "Bushido Spirit." Bushido Spirit means non-quitting
spirit. It is a special kind of self-discipline that can be applied to
every
aspect of one's life.
Self
Defense
Seido
karate is one of the most effective and efficient forms of self defense
available. You learn to use your entire body as a weapon, developing
the
ability to defend yourself against assailants much larger and stronger
than
yourself. Hand, elbow, knee, and foot techniques are taught based on
their
effectiveness and practical application in street situations.
At Seido,
I want to create a secure place for anyone of any age or physical
ability to
train and learn. This is true at any Seido dojo, no matter where it is
located.
At Seido, we all train as a family. Cooperation, not competition, is
the key
word. Those who have more should share with others, giving advice and
encouragement. The real competition is with yourself. The only
requirement is
that you give your absolute best effort at all times.
The goal
of SEIDO KARATE is the physical, mental, and spiritual growth of its
students.
