OUR SCHOOL OF KARATE

The United Kingdom Seiki-Juku Karate Organisation

After entering our school of Karate each student is expected to train diligently so as to become strong enough to fell his enemy with a single blow. Karate-Ka within our group must be physically very strong, but must also develop their mental powers (Kokryu). In order that nothing may ever over-awe them.

Classical karate is a first means of combat, a means by which the exponent defends himself or his family. However by a process of repititious training he also cultivates a morally correct state of mind. The true understanding of Karate-Do may only be understood after one engages in sufficient riqours training.

Championship tournaments of any type have no real place in real Karate. The reults of a real challenge would end in serious injury. Thus contest becomes artificial combat. Both teachers and students are required onkly to devote themselves to training and helping each other. However, those students who wish to take part in contest in order to test both their nerve and prowess are encouraged to do so.

To have thousands of followers in any school makes it impossible for teachers to give any type of individual attention. Therefore it is our policy to seek controlled expansion and to scrutinise any would be teacher, or student hoping to progress above Kyu grade. this is one major point of difference between our school and most other schools of Karate. I reiterate that the quality of our school comes first and foremost and is therefore preferable over a large group.

Our name, Seiki-Juku, means "True Spirit".
