NATURAL
POWER
At Grand River Karate,
we practice a traditional style of Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate called Shidokan.
This is a comprehensive martial arts program that focuses on developing natural and healthy body motion by practicing katas (forms) and extensive partner work. Friendship and cooperation are the key ingredients in and outside the dojo that support the overall development for each student.
Our Programs
Our Motto - Friendship. Cooperation. Learning.
Our dojo is directly under
Seikichi Iha Hanshi 10th Dan,
Head of the Beikoku Shidokan Karatedo Association,
awarded the title of Intangible Cultural Asset and national
treasure in Okinawa.
It is Iha Sensei's hope that with the help of their training in karatedo,
his students can learn to cope with any situation, be persistent,
face problems with courage, take care of themselves, realize their
optimum potential and feel good about themselves.
Seikichi Iha frequently tells his students that
"Friendship and cooperation are the most important part of karate."
