Our History

Seishinkai is a traditional karate organization that values personal growth and health over competition. Students from age 3 to 84 take part, and we have been active around Sapporo for more than 50 years. Children build healthy bodies through age-appropriate training, adults and seniors maintain their fitness, and women learn practical self-defense — with instruction tailored to each. We also run classes for students not attending school and welcome international members, providing an environment where anyone can train with confidence.
