What is Seikukai
With the community for over 47 years since 1977.
Budo that develops the person — not just strength.
Seikukai is a martial-arts dojo that has been active for over 47 years since 1977, centered on the Hokusetsu area of Osaka. Built around karate and incorporating kickboxing and training, it offers an environment that everyone — from children to adults, regardless of age or experience — can attend.
What we value is not merely acquiring technique. Through budo, we train both mind and body and cultivate strengths that serve everyday life. That is Seikukai’s unchanging conviction.
In the Hokusetsu area of Ikeda, Kawanishi and Takarazuka —children’s lessons, and asadult diet, exercise and kickboxing fitness — we welcome a wide range of ages, from 4 to people in their 60s.
A foundation as a person, before strength
What Seikukai aims for is not strength merely for winning. Courtesy, concentration, perseverance, and the attitude of facing oneself — we value naturally building these foundations as a person through budo.
The experience built up in training inevitably carries over to school, work and how you relate to others. We believe budo is learning that shapes life itself.
Careful instruction by experienced teachers
At Seikukai, teachers with many years of experience instruct carefully according to each person’s level and goals. Even complete beginners can start with confidence, as we teach step by step from the basics.
Whether you want to compete, build fitness, maintain your health, or attend for stress relief or self-defense, everyone’s goals differ. Whatever the reason, we warmly welcome the feeling of “I want to give it a try.”
From children to adults, at each person’s own pace
Seikukai offers classes suited to age and experience.
- Kids class (age 4+)
- Junior-high class
- Adult / working-adult class
- Women’s / beginner class

Even if you’re unsure about your fitness or experience, it’s an environment where you can keep going at your own pace without strain. If it’s your first time, take that first step with confidence.
