Seichou Karate® offers powerful Japanese martial and cultural arts instruction to adults and children in separate classes at our beautiful, serene headquarters in Old Town Alexandria, VA. Our name means “growth” in Japanese. So, we teach powerful self-defense and life-enhancing cultural programs that keep our students physically and mentally fit and provide them with self-confidence to achieve ambitious goals in their personal and professional lives. MARTIAL ARTS Our core curriculum combines traditional Japanese karate (standing strikes and blocks, movement patterns, and sparring) with cutting-edge throws, grappling, and submission holds. CULTURAL ARTS Additionally, unlike any of our competitors, we also offer Japanese language, calligraphy and flower arranging to balance our rigorous martial arts training. HOLISTIC MARTIAL AND CULTURAL ARTS STUDY IS BEST By combining martial and cultural arts we raise strong, confident students who understand the essential cultural and philosophical tenets of Japanese arts that we teach. We also find that martial arts students who practice cultural arts benefit more deeply from the character-enhancing potential of these disciplines. We are certified by the SBA as an 8(a) Small Disadvantaged Business, and by the Commonwealth of Virginia as a Minority Business Enterprise. Call us today at 571-257-5401!
