Culver City Seido Karate-do
Culver City Seido Karate-do offers a balanced program to students at all levels of experience and interest. There are four distinct aspects to the practice of any martial art. Culver City Seido Karate-do has something to address each of them.
ADULT CLASSES
For those whose primary interest is getting into better shape, the Seido program provides a cardiovascular challenge that will tone your muscles and tune your heart. Kyoshi Ted Pastrick, the primary instructor at Culver City Seido, has a masters degree in physical therapy and blends traditional karate training methods with important and valuable information arising from the fields of exercise physiology, nutrition and sports psychology. If you're interested in peak performance, the Seido program has everything you'll need.
If you're looking to get your competitive juices flowing, Culver City Seido offers on-site or extra-curricular activities that let you match your skills against others in a strictly controlled atmosphere. In these events emphasis is placed on self-improvement and increased maturity.
Want to learn how to handle uninvited aggression? Culver City Seido uses a full-spectrum approach to the problem. Our personal protection program develops a diverse skill set that emphasizes self-awareness and prevention as your preferred options but also teaches you simple, effective physical measures should the need arise.
Finally, Seido karate-do offers a purposeful practice that allows you to explore through movement your own creativity, self-awareness and spirituality. The practice uses kata (forms), kihon waza (basic technique practice) and zazen (seated meditation) as the foundation for your personal journey. We also include partnered drills to develop confidence and trust.
Culver City Seido Karate-do provides you with a complete karate program for body, mind and spirit. Thanks for visiting our site and feel free to contact Kyoshi Ted with any questions you might have about the program. Or just come by the dojo during the hours of instruction and view a class!
CHILDRENS CLASSES
Movement is a fundamental part of the learning process. Children learn by exploring their environment. The capacity to move is essential to this process. Culver City Seido Karate-do offers your child an opportunity to develop his or her movement skills in a developmentally appropriate manner that allows them to grow at their own pace under close and caring supervision.
Classes are safe, positive and progressive. The beginner is slowly brought along from basic movements practiced among peers to more complex combinations that may include individual presentation. The Seido program emphasizes safe exercise, good feelings and an orderly attitude in its approach to instructing children.
As with the Adult Classes, Culver City Seido offers a varied program. Parents and children are free to emphasize the aspect or aspects of the program that best suit their needs.
