I moved down to DC from NYC a few months ago. Having trained at Seido Karate under Kaicho Nakamura, who originally brought Kyokushin to the US in the 60’s, I had been searching for months for a real traditional Japanese karate without much luck… Then I found Seichou in a google map search. It is run by Sensei Richard Romero, who also comes from Kyokushinkaikan, and brings a great mix of this and his own style to his classes. The dojo is really nice, very clean and professional… I couldn’t be happier! If you’re looking for a traditional japanese karate dojo, I’ve checked them all out in the DC area, and this is your place! Great teacher, and dojo!
