Seiwa Kai Goju Ryu classes – Venue 59 Erica Road Table View Cape Town  Call 082 876 2516

Seiwa Kai Karate classes in Table View and around South Africa have a mixture of  male and females and their is no discrimination. Everyone is in a karate suit and they are all there to study the Japanese way of Goju Ryu.

Not only that, they help one another along the way at each and every class..  There is NO favoritism and all feel safe and the classes go forward in leaps and bounds .

We welcome beginners and will take them through the basics until they feel self assured that they can do karate. From there the road is wide open with so many opportunities for the future

Martial arts bring together a sisterhood.

I am not implying that women should be separated from men while training; quite the opposite. It takes everyone to make martial art training effective, enjoyable, and challenging.

Still, when I check my social media, it is nice to see what women are doing to empower themselves through martial arts, how they are excelling, and to have the opportunity to share and discuss experiences with them.

Above all women need to encourage each other through their martial art journey because it is uniquely different from a man’s journey for the reasons expressed above. Women martial artists also need to defend against the sexualization of martial arts because martial arts are not for the sexy but for the serious.

We don’t all have rock hard abs or kicks that go straight to the sky as depicted on social media or advertisements. We are everyday women who are confident, strong, and empowered due to martial arts.

I say women “need” martial arts instead of women “should learn” martial arts for a reason. Martial arts give me ways to cope, defend, persevere, understand, learn and grow in all categories of my life.

Women share the same experiences in martial arts as they do in life, and that is why their dependence on each other for motivation and encouragement is so important. Hey, I am a martial art woman and I am proud of it. My life would have turned out differently if not for the confidence and empowered mindset that I earned with every single belt along the way.
