Karate Class After School Non-contact Style, so safe for kids!

Being strong is not about beating people up.  It is a about feeling good about yourself and also being able to respect others.  Our style of karate is very safe and kid-friendly.  The goal of this class is to help you develop a strong body and a caring heart, and we will not forget to have fun along the way.

I got 8th place in the National Sports Festival in 1998. During my college years in Colorado, I was trained under Mr. Hideharu Igaki, a U.S. national coach at the time, and became a Colorado State champion in 2000.

Please come to class in clothes that are easy to move around in.  We usually practice karate barefoot, but the school gym is for outdoor shoes, so you may wear fitness shoes or beach shoes.  Light ones are preferable.

 

Students in either class are eligible to take the grade test held twice a year by Seifukan.  The grade tests are NOT mandatory.  To take the tests, you must purchase a karate uniform.

 

Please see the office for an application form.  All ages can join, students and parents.
