The opening of our new, 2,100 square foot dojo in North Old Town, Alexandria, in February 2008, has allowed us to expand programming to serve the entire community and people of all ages. We offer a unique inter-disciplinary program that includes traditional karate, sparring, self-defense, traditional Japanese weaponry like the short-staff, Japanese calligraphy, Japanese language, yoga, and other special courses for adults and youth, including a 5-day per week martial arts after-school program. Seichou Karate Limited® was founded in Alexandria, Virginia, in1998 by Richard Romero Sensei, a former Northeast and Southeast U.S. middleweight, knock-down karate champion. His goal was to help students to achieve a high level of physical conditioning as well as mental focus and a balanced attitude that would help them succeed in their everyday lives. In 2000, Seichou Karate® began offering classes at the Old Town Sport & Health Club of Alexandria, Virginia, where it rapidly grew its membership of committed karate students. At this location, Sensei Romero graduated 12 black belts ranging in age from 12 to 50, divided equally in number between males and females. On Feb 25th of 2008, Seichou Karate® Limited opened its doors to a new, state-of-the-art facility at 807 North Royal Street that boasts 2,100 square feet and a Japanese-culture-infused environment. The new space allows Seichou Karate to offer an extended schedule of classes for students of all ages.

Seichou Karate feels like family. From your first lesson, they make certain that you get the instruction you need to continue your path of personal growth and advancement. Highly recommended.

Traditional Martial Arts

This school offers real tradition and I highly recommend working with Seichou Karate's main instructor Mr Romero.

Very pleased

After 30 days of regular evening classes, I have lost the greater part of my body fat and formed muscles I'm not sure I ever had before. The workout is just the right impact, and I always leave feeling refreshed. Every student I've encountered has been incredibly friendly and helpful. Sensei is an outstanding individual able to assess the skills and needs of the various ranking students from each class. I highly recommend this place, and best of all it was the least expensive establishment we found in the area.‎

Team Building Class

My office participated in a team building class at Seichou Karate a few months back. I was pleasantly surprised with the experience. It was a great way to get out of the office and interact with fellow employees.



We were all really happy with our instructor, Richard. He was extremely talented and a great teacher. It was also really nice to learn from someone that truly appreciates, understands and seems to live by the values he was trying to instill.



I'm sure some of my coworkers walked away having a different experience (probably that it was a lot of fun), but for me, it was surprisingly relaxing. Something I never would have thought!
