SEIRENKAI KARATE

Seirenkai Karate, taught by the Concord Self-Defense Academy, is a Japanese style of karate, with influences from Okinawan and Chinese martial arts.  We emphasize maximum use of body dynamics for fast, powerful, and effective techniques in self-defense against single or multiple attackers, with and without weapons.   Our techniques are designed for self-defense and we do not emphasize competitive sparring.  Seirenkai Karate is appropriate for mature students ages 12 and up.

​

Karate classes include the practice of Kihon (blocks, strikes, punches, kicks, etc) as well as Kata (pre-arranged sequences of self-defense techniques). Kata is the nucleus of traditional karate and we focus on the bunkai or analysis of kata with the goal of applying the kata to self-defense. As with everything at the Concord Self-Defense Academy, the core of our focus is on self-defense and we learn and practice defenses against surprise attacks, grabs, punches, weapons, multiple attackers, attacks on the ground, and other types of self-defense situations.  Through their Karate training, students at the Concord Self-Defense Academy build strength, fitness, and confidence.
