Cayuga Lake Seido Karate

Cayuga Lake Seido Karate Helping people live their best lives through the study of traditional Japanese karate. Seido is unique in its family atmosphere.

Seido Karate is a traditional Japanese style of karate, founded in 1976 by Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura. Today, Seido Karate is an international organization with thriving branches in fourteen countries and more than 20,000 students worldwide. Seido’s New York City Honbu (headquarters) is one of the largest martial arts schools in the world. More importantly, Seido represents the personal ideal of Kaic

ho Nakamura that karate can help individuals to better understand themselves and others. Kaicho has always maintained that the dojo (school) should be a haven for those who come to train, a second home where they can surround themselves with support and where they can explore the meaning of their karate. Seido Karate is integrated training of the body, mind, and spirit. Progressive training methods allow anyone to participate—we strongly believe that the benefits of karate training should be available to anyone, including those with disabilities. Cayuga Lake Seido Karate offers several programs of instruction in Tompkins County:

*at our main dojo, located at 17 Ridge Road in Lansing, where instruction is provided for adults and children ages 4 and older

*through the Dryden Recreation Department where classes are held for juniors and youth ages 6-13

*at Trumansburg High School, where instruction is provided to students in grades 9-12 during the school day as part of the physical education program. A weekly after-school program is also offered in Trumansburg for students in grades K-12

One Of The Best Parts Of Class Isn’t Even On The Mat.

It’s the car ride home, when your child starts talking about what they learned, what they did well, or something they’re proud of. Those little conversations? They mean more than you think!

Summer Is Coming… And For A Lot Of Parents, That Brings A Mix Of Excitement And Stress.

🏠 More time in the house.

📱 More screen time battles.

🙃 More “I’m bored” moments.

The truth is, kids do better when they have structure. Not just strict schedules, but something consistent. Something that gives them direction, movement, and a sense of progress.

That’s why so many parents look for activities like Martial Arts 🥋 heading into summer. It’s not about keeping kids busy. It’s about helping them grow while they have the time and space to do it.

Have you locked in your child’s summer plan yet? We would love to be included in the summer setup for your child!
