I was first introduced to Sun Dragon when I enrolled my daughters in their youth karate program about 8 years ago. I liked the overall feel of the dojo, its focus on non-competitive martial arts, and the welcoming instructors and students. I would watch my daughters’ classes and, being a lifelong martial artist myself, I immediately noted the quality of the training – precise stances, flowing transitions in movement, proper body mechanics and alignment, and correct power generation. I was thoroughly impressed with the instruction and loved the fact that Seido Karate is a traditional martial art with a direct, historic lineage, yet being taught with a modern, 21st century approach. Kaicho’s vision for the art impressed me as well. An inclusive vision that karate training can not only benefit anyone and everyone, but can benefit society as a whole. Fast forward 8 years or so. My daughters moved on to other activities over the years and are now virtually adults getting ready to leave the nest. I was taking stock of my life at this point and considering getting back into martial arts training myself (after about an 18-year hiatus) when by chance I ran into Kyoshi Graham at a local store (he remembered me and my daughters from years back). We get to talking about martial arts and my interest in getting back into it now that my kids are grown. I ended up taking a free class at Sun Dragon the next week and I was totally hooked. Great training, welcoming instructors and students, wonderful art and philosophy, inclusive environment, and very solid, traditional karate. The training can be rigorous and challenging (I am usually drenched with sweat after each class). The art is traditional and rooted in a solid lineage, not some fly-by-night, “McDojo” kind of karate. The curriculum is comprehensive. The instructors demonstrate knowledge, integrity, and support. The students are welcoming. It was exactly what I was looking for.
