USA Seishin Association of Kyokushin Karate, rooted in traditional Japanese Karate, teaches students to develop a sustaining Martial Art attitude, inner strength, respect, and focuses on etiquette, gestures, and philosophy in every class, at each age and level. Classes are taught in a supportive environment that places a high level of expectation on each student. Parents are encouraged to watch or even join classes to learn along side their children, and should remember that young students learn primarily by example. Martial Arts philosophy, coupled with the lessons of modern psychology and rigorous training, is presented in a way that both very young beginner students as well as more mature advanced students can understand. Seishin Kyokushin Karate emphases character, honor, morals, virtues, and values at every level and every age group.
Kyokushin Karate, created by the legendary Mas Oyama, has been known in the Martial Arts community as a hard core full contact style. Kyokushin has a very strong reputation as being the toughest martial art in the world. While having it’s roots in a full contact knockdown system, our program is appropriate for all levels and ages, males and females. Although still active in tournament competition, our style’s main focus is more on the development of each student, and bringing an added value to each of their lives, than it is on tournaments and trophies.
Sensei Philip Lehrman, 4th Dan, brings almost 30 years of Martial Arts experience to the karate program. Sensei began his training in International Kyokushin and World Oyama Karate under Shihan Ray Martens, 6th Dan and student of Soshu Oyama. Sensei’s firm attitude and enthusiastic manner excites and inspires students of all ages. Sensei Phil is a model example of what he teaches, and lives the lessons that he professes to his students.
