Traditional Japanese Karate
Seido seeks to develop in each student a 'non-quitting' spirit. No matter what the obstacle or difficulty -- emotional, physical, financial -- we want students to feel empowered to overcome any challenge.

"A dojo right out of the movie, The Matrix.... if you think you have what it takes to go up against Jet Li, Jackie Chan, and the rest, this is the place to train -- because here, they really can do all of those things you see in the movies.
