SAISEI sHOTOKAN KARATE DOJO
Saisei Karate is a traditional Shotokan school focused on fundamental training methods with an emphasis on personal development.
The Japanese word Saisei means "Rebirth" or "Regeneration"
Our emblem is The Phoenix which symbolizes Strength, Transformation and Renewal.
Through the 3 foundational pillars of Shotokan, which are Kihon, Kata & Kumite, the student will not only learn self-defense but they will train their body, mind & spirit to be strong. Karate promotes positive values such as dedication, focus, and respect which can be applied to every aspect of our lives.
