Seido Karate Los Angeles Nfp

Outstanding people in a very welcoming atmosphere. High level training in a family comfortable atmosphere.

I moved to Los Angeles from Chicago, where I attended another Seido Dojo, and I am so happy with my new Seido family at the Hollywood Dojo. Like others who have reviewed the Hollywood dojo, I feel that Jun Shihan John and Kyoshi Veronica are not only fantastic teachers, but genuinely wonderful people who love love their art and passing their knowledge of it to others. Seido Karate improved my life dramatically and I am honored to continue my practice here at the Hollywood Seido Dojo.

Four years ago I was looking to study martial arts to buff up my acting resume. After thorough research, the Hollywood Dojo was the one place that I connected with.
I had no previous martial arts experience, and I feel like I’ve become more fit, coordinated, respectful, and confident. Not only have I learned valuable skills that I’ve been able to showcase at auditions, but I’ve learned street self-​defense techniques, bushido philosophies that I can apply to my life, and so much more.
Kyoshi John and Kyoshi Veronica nurture an environment that is challenging, supportive, and rewarding.
Seido Karate is a great style for people of all ages and fitness levels because it is not about competition with others, but about competition with yourself. Seido has been one of the stabilizing forces in my life, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

This is a great dojo! I have been going here for over four years because I wanted a traditional school that really cares about the students, not just the money. Kyoshi John and Kyoshi Veronica are those kind of teachers.
The training is excellent for any level, whether you have had training in other styles or are a rank beginner looking to take your first class in the martial arts. And if you’ve ever felt you were just ‘too old’ to start, you should definitely see this school. They welcome men and women of any age, taking you from where you are and bringing out the amazing potential you didn’t even know you had. And they have children’s classes too, making it a great place for the entire family.
Coming from another karate school out of state, the instructors and students made me feel welcome right away. This is by far one of the best examples of traditional training I have been lucky enough to find. I am happy to call it my dojo and encourage anyone who is looking for a place that offers quality training to drop by and check it out!

I’ve been in and out of martial arts styles up until I got to Seido Karate Hollywood. This dojo is top-​notch for training in Traditional Karate but it doesn’t stop there. Sweat-​breaking work outs, great team-​building, a team of great instructors, and affordable class fees.
I’ve been training at Seido Hollywood for 3 years and it’s been the best decision I’ve made in my ENTIRE martial arts career.
