World Seido Karate Organization
 
Getting Started in Seido Karate
Making the decision to start Seido karate is a very important step in your life. We endeavour to present to you the true way of Karate, or "Karate-Do", that is, a way to develop total fitness: mind, body and spirit. Making an investment in your personal development is not be taken lightly, and as such, we commit to giving you the best instruction possible.

Our introductory system allows you to ease into the training program slowly and safely. It is not necessary that you have any previous karate experience. You progress at a pace consistent with your ability and level of fitness. Everyone is treated as an individual. We fully appreciate that you may not be super-fit or flexible right from the start. We will work with you and track you progress as a beginner to ensure you realize you true potential as a student of Seido Karate.

Seido Karate Adult

Are you new to karate? Would you like to ease into your training? To get started in Seido Karate we recommend our unique Introductory Classes.


On the first and third Monday of every month at 6.30pm we hold free Introductory beginners classes for you to try karate. Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing such as a t-shirt and full-length tracksuit pants (no shorts or skirts).
In these lessons you'll learn some basic karate techniques, and get a feel for how things operate in a karate class, so you can move comfortably into regular training.


We'll also explain the payment system for you should you decide to continue your training past the stage of a new beginner. After you finish your introductory class you are under no further obligation (limit of 1 introductory class per person).

Seido Karate Adult Introductory Classes are strictly by appointment only. Please contact Matt Layton to secure your booking today, as spaces are strictly limited.

Children Getting Started

For our children's program, we recommend the kids start-up pack for only $139 which includes a karate uniform and entire school term of training. At your child's uniform fitting we can also conduct a tour of the training centre, together with a brief introductory session to show them some basic techniques

Fees

Once your trial period is finished, you have the convenience of paying for your training by direct debit (from a bank account or credit card) for only $49.95 per fortnight. For children, parents can pay $159 for the entire school term in advance.

Gradings

Gradings are a wonderful event at our dojo. The process of achieving a new belt level is celebrated by all participants and spectators alike. Gradings for Adults are about every two months, and for kids twice during the term. Seido Karate Juniors grading cost $35, and Adult gradings start at $45.

Done Martial Arts Before?

Have you studied martial arts before? Would you like to try again? At our school we happily accept former martial arts students who wish to get started again. We fully appreciate your previous experience when you re-commence training. Although you may have achieved a particular belt rank in another style, you will be required to start at white belt in Seido Karate. The levels you achieve after starting, and the speed at which you achieve those levels, will be assessed along the way. We encourage you to make an appointment to see our dojo and watch a class to see if our style is right for you
