Seiwakai International
Seiwakai International & Our Commitment to Excellence
At Karate Academy Sydney (KAS), we are proud members of Seiwakai International, a globally respected Goju Ryu Karate organisation headquartered in Omagari, Daisen City, Akita Prefecture, Japan. Under the leadership of Seiichi Fujiwara Hanshi, 8th Dan JKF Goju Kai and President of Seiwakai, the organisation upholds the highest standards of traditional karate practice and instruction.
Annual Training Pilgrimage to Omagari, Japan
Each year, our instructors and senior students embark on a dedicated training pilgrimage to Omagari to participate in the Seiwakai International Training Camp. This intensive 7-day seminar, led by Fujiwara Hanshi, offers an unparalleled opportunity to deepen our understanding of Goju Ryu Karate, refine techniques, and immerse ourselves in Japan’s rich martial arts culture.
The training camp is a cornerstone of our commitment to technical excellence, allowing us to bring back advanced knowledge and insights to share with our students in Sydney. This experience not only enhances our skills but also strengthens our connection to the global Seiwakai community.
Upholding the Seiwakai Legacy
Seiwakai International, founded in 1972 by the late Shuji Tasaki Hanshi, has grown into one of the largest Goju Ryu Karate organisations worldwide. Fujiwara Hanshi, a direct student of Tasaki Hanshi, continues this legacy by promoting rigorous training, discipline, and the philosophical principles of Goju Ryu Karate.
Our affiliation with Seiwakai International ensures that KAS remains aligned with authentic Japanese karate traditions, providing our students with access to high-quality instruction and a clear pathway for progression within the global karate community.
