Why Seido Karate for Teens?
Today’s teens face many challenges. In addition to providing a great workout that encourages fitness and an active lifestyle, Seido Karate also provides fundamental skills that support teens as they navigate their rapidly-changing lives.
Self-Confidence
Through disciplined study of traditional karate, teens are taught to stand strong and maintain a positive self-image. We focus on reinforcing positive behaviors that can help students deal with the stresses of peer pressure or bullying to which they may be exposed. Students also learn strategies that help them become a positive influence on those around them.
Concentration and Self-Discipline
Middle school and high school students can face many kinds of challenges: increased academic pressure, difficulties with time management, or uncertainty about future plans. Students of Seido Karate learn to focus on the task at hand and to complete challenges, small or large. Special emphasis is placed on developing better control of the body, the breath, and the mind.
Sense of Community
Teens who train together not only work out together, but also develop a connection that allows them to develop friendship and a feeling of mutual support. Students are much more likely to be successful in school and in life when they have a strong sense of community and a large group of caring, supportive friends.
Life-long Fitness
Activities that integrate both mind and body encourage teens to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle. The Seido Karate curriculum provides continual opportunities for growth and challenge, and supports teens in making healthy decisions.
"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!"

"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
