The teen program at Seido Karate serves as an intermediary step for students aged 13-16 between the kids program and the adult program. The program helps students in the kids program transition to the rigor and structure of adult classes and allows new teenage students to acclimate to Seido in a welcoming environment of students around their age. Through self-defense, sparring (after approx. 1 year of training), and kata classes, students will improve their confidence, focus, and discipline, developing the maturity required to succeed at the adult level, while also gaining a supportive community of peers.

Seido is perfect for teenagers starting their karate journey. Our curricula designed for specific stages of development, professional instructors and our dojo’s nurturing environment means that your child’s training experience will be welcoming, encouraging, and most importantly, fun! Karate’s physical lessons improve balance, endurance, range of motion, coordination, flexibility, and stamina, while the mental aspects develop self-respect, confidence, awareness, and focus. Students of Seido Karate exercise strong minds, build healthy bodies, and nurture a happy spirit. The tenets of Seido Karate―love, respect, and obedience―are deeply integrated into the curriculum of the children’s program.
