Cayuga Lake Seido Karate offers a program of traditional Japanese karate for adults of all ages and fitness levels. Specialized curriculum for beginners allows you to ease into the program at your own pace. Classes are vigorous and challenging, yet provide the opportunity for each student to set and meet their own personal goals

You don’t need to be physically active or “in shape” to join Cayuga Lake Seido Karate. Our progressive training program is tailored to each student’s individual needs and fitness level. Personalized physical challenges help students see measurable improvement in muscular endurance and strength, all while progressing at their own pace.

You will see gradual but marked improvement in your overall flexibility as you train. Progressive stretching exercises are incorporated into each class. Comprehensive drills that target all areas of the body will help develop fluidity of movement. The development of core strength will allow for a greater control of balance and centering of your body.
IMPROVED MEMORY AND CONCENTRATION

The proper development of physical strength and technique requires mental focus and concentration. In each class, you will be exposed to terms and skills that will challenge you to learn, organize, and remember in ways that work for you. The mental aspect of karate training can have a strong, positive influence on your work and family life as well.
PERSONAL GROWTH

The most important aspect of Seido Karate training is the individual growth of each student. While the physical aspects of training are important, we place equal emphasis on the growth of the mind and spirit. In addition to learning the fundamentals and application of technique, classes in Seido Meditation are also incorporated into the curriculum. These classes allow students to focus on creating a centered posture, a controlled breath, and a calm mind.
FAMILY ATMOSPHERE

At Cayuga Lake Seido Karate, we are committed to fostering a family-oriented, caring atmosphere and community. Parents and their children have the opportunity to train side-by-side which helps promote a greater understanding and appreciation for each other.
