About Seido Juku Philosophy
Seido Juku is a place where students may feel a break from the outside world as they workout with their fellow karateka, taking a piece of their training with them into their lives and communities each time they train. We teach karate etiquette, tradition, respect of others and self, and adheres to Seido karate principles: love, respect, and obedience.The Seido Juku Karate Edgewater logo contains the plum blossom of Seido karate and a Japanese kanji-word, mizu, water. Water is ever flowing and flexible, it can adapt to any shape, it can move around the hardest obstacles, and over time water can even wear down and wear through them.
For children Seido Juku is a place to develop self-respect, gain self-confidence and focus that can transfer from the dojo to home and school. It is a place to have fun, make new friends, and learn about each other's differences. Furthermore, karate is an effective physical exercise practice to instill lifelong healthy practices as well as a way to reverse childhood obesity, an epidemic facing American youth.
