Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do Berkeley

My family has been training with the amazing team at East Bay Seido for almost a year and we are loving it. The instructors are so kind with my son and we are creating an amazing community.

My son has been training with Sensei Todd for about two years and really loves it. Wonderful supportive place to learn and grow. I have another child very advanced in a different martial art form - East Bay Seido has been a much more welcoming and positive experience. Very glad we found it!

I've been training at East Bay Seido for a few years and it is fantastic. Sensei Todd is an incredible teacher who is engaging, knowledgeable, and welcoming. He is able to weave traditional karate instruction with practical tips for real world self-defense. The other instructors are also top notch and the students work with each other, not against each other. I have never left a training session without feeling 1000% better!

From moment we found Todd and Jill practicing at Ohlone, we were greeted with encouragement. My son has developed discipline, respect, confidence, and body awareness at the dojo. The focus on physical fitness and mental well-being is evident in every class. The sense of community among students makes it feel like a second family.

I've been training here for 3 years after trying a number of dojos and styles. I cannot speak more highly of East Bay Seido. Sensei Todd is a fantastic teacher and in the past three years the dojo has never canceled a scheduled class that I'm aware of. All of the instructors bring a positive attitude and are safety minded. UPDATE: 12 years later, still my second family. UPDATE: 9 years later and still love it. Update: 12 years on. Best group of folks ever. Update: 13 or so. Still great. Update 14 years: still like family.
