Seido Karate Melbourne

Seido Karate Melbourne, located in Richmond, is a sports club that offers traditional Japanese-style Karate-Do training. The club focuses on personal development and meditation, providing a graded series of promotions that increase skill and complexity.

At the Richmond dojo, students can expect to learn karate in a friendly and supportive environment. The club caters to all levels, from beginners to advanced, with professional Black Belt Instructors who have extensive experience and a passion for helping others.

Seido Karate Melbourne is a member of the World Seido Karate Organisation, a globally structured organisation with strict standards and a syllabus developed by renowned Karate exponent, Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura.

The club is proud of its team of highly skilled instructors, including Kyoshi Pippa Connolly, Kyoshi Sandra Grieve, and Kyoshi Tome Spasevski, all of whom hold a 5th Dan Black Belt.

For children, Seido Karate Melbourne offers the Seido Junior Programme, which introduces them to the many benefits of traditional karate training, including fitness, focus, respect, courtesy, self-defence, and a non-quitting spirit. The programme follows the same grade structure as the adult programme but is modified for younger participants.

For adults, the club offers the Seido Adult Programme, which aims to develop total fitness of the mind, body, and spirit through the true way of Karate-Do. The introductory system allows individuals to gradually and safely ease into the training programme, progressing at their own pace to realise their full potential as a student of Seido Karate.

Seido Karate follows three core principles: "Sei” (truth, honesty, and sincerity), “Do” (way), and “Juki” (a small place where one goes to study, learn, and grow).

To get started at Seido Karate Melbourne, prospective members are encouraged to contact the club and organise a time to visit. A quick tour will be provided 10 minutes before the class starts. For children, there is a recommended start-up pack that includes a karate uniform and an entire school term of training. Adults can attend free introductory beginners classes held every Monday at 6:30 pm.

It is advised to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing such as a t-shirt and full-length tracksuit pants.

Seido Karate Melbourne welcomes everyone, whether their goal is to learn a martial art or simply get fit. With its emphasis on personal development and a supportive community, it is an ideal place for individuals seeking to challenge themselves and grow in all aspects of their lives.
