The Seichou Karate® Difference

Better Physical Fitness
Our Karate curriculum meets the U.S. National Standards for Physical Education.

No Rush
We never hurry students through the curriculum because we want them to learn well and develop patience.

Best Self-defense
Our director is a former full-contact karate champion with decades of experience in the most rigorous Japanese karate. Our judo instructor possesses extensive experience in judo training and competition. Together, they teach no-nonsense martial arts that dramatically enhance the self-defense preparedness of newcomers and experienced students.

More Depth
Our unique interdisciplinary curriculum includes Japanese karate, judo, language, calligraphy, and flower arranging for true cultural immersion.

Unlimited Training
We offer classes 6 days a week, so students may attend as many classes per week as they choose on any day that they choose.

Better Staff
All of our instructors possess at least masters degrees and have ten or more years of Seichou Karate® experience.

Better Facility
With a state-of-the-art training hall, changing rooms with lockers and showers, and a dedicated classroom for cultural arts, we have the best-equipped, most beautiful, serene dojo in metro DC.

Best Value
Seichou Karate®’s prices are lower than many martial arts schools. Yet, our product is the finest in the industry. We accomplish this because we are not franchise. Therefore, we don’t support layers and layers of staff and are able to focus on quality. We pride ourselves on being a lean and efficient organization.
