Preserving the Legacy of Goju-Ryu Karate in Silicon Valley
Seiwakai Karate Silicon Valley (SKSV) was founded to overcome the challenges faced by dojo in the Bay Area, ensuring the timeless art of Goju-Ryu Karate-do continues to thrive in our community. Rooted in tradition, SKSV traces its origins to 1954, when Yoshiaki Ajari introduced Goju-Ryu Karate at San Jose Community College. Our teachings honor the legacy of Miyagi Chojun (yes, the real-life inspiration behind Mr. Miyagi!), while following the esteemed methods of Seiwakai Karatedo (Japan), JKF Gojukai (Japan), Dai Nippon Butokukai (Japan) and USA Karate.
Our Mission
At SKSV, our mission is to:
- Create a lasting training hub in Silicon Valley, empowering students of all ages and backgrounds.
- Foster cultural education and citizenship by embracing the ethics, philosophy, and principles of Budo (martial arts).
- Strengthen mind and body through rigorous training and a focused curriculum designed to inspire confidence, discipline, and a competitive spirit.
- Preserve and share Karate-do for future generations while offering high-quality training at an affordable cost for the community.
