Our main priority is in making karate-do accessible to all. For some this will mean fitness, others Spiritual development, and others purely self-defence. Seido karate stresses above all the philosophy that karate should teach ‘Technique before Strength, Spirit before Technique’.
 
 
If you train with us, you will undoubtedly become stronger and develop sound karate technique, but most of all, Seido aims to build a strength of spirit and attitude towards karate, and life.
 
 
This ‘non-quitting' spirit is a modern interpretation of the bushido (martial way) of the Japanese samurai.
 
 
Seido provides a structured environment for learning karate. The discipline and etiquette of a Japanese-based martial art creates a serious and respectful atmosphere in the dojo, and yet there is a close friendship and support between students, which is the essence of the Aylesbury Vale dojo.
 
 
If you feel you would like to visit us on a Monday evening: Children (aged 6 — 15) train from 6.30pm — 7.30pm and adults from 7.30pm — 9pm. Please come and join in and give it a go - or simply watch a class.
 
 
We look forward to having you along. Visit our website to find out more: or contact Stephen Fincham on 07540 531034.
