FAQs
What do I need for a trial class?
Clothes suitable for training (e.g. gym pants, track pants, t-shirt) short toenails and fingernails and all jewelry removed. Please do not wear jeans or cargo pants.
Are there prerequisites for training?
As long as your physician has cleared you for physical activities, we have no other prerequisite. Our training builds to be rigorous and intense, however through our traditional and disciplined environment, we work with students to bring them to the level they are seeking to achieve.
How long does it take to achieve a first degree black belt?
It typically takes our students on average of four to six years of regular training (twice a week minimum) for a student to have the sufficient technical, physical and mental ability to successfully pass a first degree test. Rank promotion is based solely on ability and character, not time trained.
Are there tournaments available?
Every year World Seikido hosts the John Lemieux Memorial Tournament for our students. We also attend some local and South Western Ontario tournaments with our students. While attendance at tournaments is not a mandatory event we encourage all students to participate so that they can demonstrate their learned skills which also provide them with the confidence that what they are learning is an effective self-defence.
What will Seikido do for me?
The practice of Seikido will:Improve your physical fitnessIncrease your muscle and strengthIncrease your flexibilityImprove balanceImprove your coordinationImprove muscle toneAssist you in losing weightImprove your focus and concentrationImprove your memoryRelieve stressBuild self-esteemBuild self-confidenceImprove self-awarenessImprove self-acceptance
