  My son has been training at Seichou Karate for over 2 years, and it has been a wonderful experience. It has helped him flourish into a more disciplined, focused and confident person, not just while practicing at the dojo, but in everyday life. Students of Seichou karate are lead to be strong mentally and physically, to be good citizens and to respect others. Being a student of Seichou karate truly leads to personal growth!

  Seichou has been in our lives for four years. Both our 9 yr old boy and 4 yr old girl have gained confidence and self-control, all while having a blast! They both speak and understand a ton of Japanese and love going to class. Shihan Romero and Senpai Gautherin are outstanding teachers. Seichou is leaps and bounds ahead of other dojos. We highly reccommend it.

  My 10yo has been taking classes here since Jan 2018. We love the environment, the expectation of excellence, the patience, and the accountability. The facilities are great and the leadership works hard to bring out the best in each student. This is our first foray into martial arts and we are so pleased to have found this dojo!

  It's been about four months since our five-year-old son joined Seichou Karate, and we have nothing but praise for the dojo and its instructors, Shihan Romero and Sempai Gautherin! In a relatively short time, karate has become one of our son's favorite activities, and we are fortunate to have such a great facility so close to our home.
  
  To me, the most noteworthy characteristic of the dojo is the level of mutual respect between the instructors and their students. The instructors demand that respect, and gently but firmly correct students who speak out of turn, fidget excessively, or fail to pay attention.
  
  But here's the thing: they also give that respect *back* in equal measure. There's plenty of positive reinforcement, plenty of encouragement, and they absolutely never give up on a student. If one of the kids is lagging behind, they'll get the whole class to cheer and clap until that kid makes it to the end of the activity. It's really a heartwarming thing to watch when your kid is the poky one that day.
  
  They also seem to have a good sense of how far to push each student. We tried another class before Seichou, and the instructor there would endlessly nitpick the kids. At Seichou, they're much better about not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. The kids are challenged and pushed to the limit of their ability, but not to the point where they get frustrated or upset.
  
  Finally, I think Seichou does a really good job of teaching the culture and values behind karate. Classes begin and end with brief periods of meditation, guided by the instructor in Japanese. The kids are taught the Japanese name for every activity, and learn to count to ten and beyond in Japanese. And despite the time spent learning kicks, punches, and strikes, they learn the importance of *avoiding* fighting whenever possible. Shihan even has an excellent book where he lays out these values as told to him by his own instructor, Soshu Shigeru Oyama. There are generations of wisdom and a remarkable heritage behind the classes at Seichou, and it shows.
  
  If you're on the fence, sign up for a trial and give it a shot! We initially thought our son wasn't ready for what seemed like such a serious place, but we were way off. They're friendly and welcoming, and I can't recommend them highly enough!
