Why Seido Karate for Adults?
Cayuga Lake Seido Karate offers a program of traditional Japanese karate for adults of all ages and fitness levels. Specialized curriculum for beginners allows you to ease into the program at your own pace. Classes are vigorous and challenging, yet provide the opportunity for each student to set and meet their own personal goals
Improved Physical Fitness
You don’t need to be physically active or “in shape” to join Cayuga Lake Seido Karate. Our progressive training program is tailored to each student’s individual needs and fitness level. Personalized physical challenges help students see measurable improvement in muscular endurance and strength, all while progressing at their own pace.
Flexibility and Balance
You will see gradual but marked improvement in your overall flexibility as you train. Progressive stretching exercises are incorporated into each class. Comprehensive drills that target all areas of the body will help develop fluidity of movement. The development of core strength will allow for a greater control of balance and centering of your body.
Improved Memory and Concentration
The proper development of physical strength and technique requires mental focus and concentration. In each class, you will be exposed to terms and skills that will challenge you to learn, organize, and remember in ways that work for you. The mental aspect of karate training can have a strong, positive influence on your work and family life as well.
Personal Growth
The most important aspect of Seido Karate training is the individual growth of each student. While the physical aspects of training are important, we place equal emphasis on the growth of the mind and spirit. In addition to learning the fundamentals and application of technique, classes in Seido Meditation are also incorporated into the curriculum. These classes allow students to focus on creating a centered posture, a controlled breath, and a calm mind.
Family Atmosphere
At Cayuga Lake Seido Karate, we are committed to fostering a family-oriented, caring atmosphere and community. Parents and their children have the opportunity to train side-by-side which helps promote a greater understanding and appreciation for each other.
"My training has been more rewarding than I ever could have imagined. I started with only curiosity and no experience. The classes are challenging yet flexible and supportive and always fun. I was welcomed into this wonderfully diverse group with open arms. I only wish I had started sooner!"
Amy B., Adult 1st Degree Black Belt
"Seido Karate has really helped me in my everyday life. Not only physically, but also mentally. It has taught me to focus on the task at hand, and to respect and be kind to others. I have made so many friends and I am glad to be on this journey with them."
Ben M., Youth 2nd Degree Black Belt
"After the encouragement of my kids and the Sensei's, I joined CLSK in my late forties. I learned that Seido is a Karate for everyone. I expected the physical conditioning and self defense, but what I continue to gain is so much more. Seido is a community, friendship, and spirit that has improved and enriched many aspects of my life."
Ellen Q., Adult Advanced Brown Belt
