My kids and I became interested in karate after seeing my brother-in-law and his kids do a class together. I researched different clubs, and after watching a Seido kids’ class, I felt the club would be a great fit for us all.
My daughter, Shani (9), and son, Rico (7), enjoy it because it’s fun, and everyone is kind and caring. We all benefit from the challenge of learning new things, being able to test ourselves at gradings, and the reward of achieving a belt.
For me, it’s a great mental and physical challenge. It’s been refreshing to pick up a new sport, and great to share the experience with my kids (which has been great for their self-confidence). Seido Karate is teaching us all to be patient and more comfortable to learn new things gradually, in and outside of the dojo.
The style of teaching by the instructors is very supportive for members of all ages and levels. There is a family-friendly and supportive atmosphere and culture for everyone. As there are classes every day, this allows us to fit in a mix of classes – kids, adults and family – throughout the week.
