Seishin Ryu Karate Belt Ranks

-----------------------------

Master Lee E. Dawson, Soshu  , a 9th degree Black Belt with over 40 years in the Martial Arts, synthesized his experience and founded the Seishin Ryu System of the Martial Arts. It encompasses Karate, Kobudo, Jujitsu/Judo and several minor arts, including the Healing Arts. 

Seishin Ryu Karate is a form of Oriental Martial Arts. Seishin means to cultivate the mind -- to devote oneself to the art -- mentally, physically, morally and spiritually. 

Seishin Ryu Karate uses jitsu -- physical techniques derived from the combative arts of the Chinese, Okinawan, and Japanese, to maximize student strengths and minimize weaknesses, through strong powerful and circular technique: kicks, strikes, blocks, and throws. An equal application of hand and foot combinations makes this art the ultimate in survival. 

In Seishin Ryu Karate, there is a strict adherence to tradition. Training hall etiquette and philosophical principles underlying karate are taught and encouraged in application in every day living by the karate-ka. Principles such as:

Self Discipline

Respect

Humility

Spiritual Strength

This is what Seishin Ryu Karate is all about, it is not as depicted on TV, Movies, The Ultimate Challenge or Kick Fiests.Traditional Karate such as Seishin Ryu Karate, also is not about maiming and killing - it is really not about violence at all! Seishin Ryu is for anyone and everyone from 5 to 75!!!
