For many years the "Ko Sutemi Seiei Kan" has been feared for its prowess in the ring and respected for the expertise of its members. The "Seiei Kan" has indeed been widely recognized by the world as a leader in the Karate Circuit. The meaning of Ko Sutemi Seiei Kan is this:

Ko Sutemi: Success by any means.
Seiei: Elite or pick of the best.
Kan: Perception or intuition.

In our system we emphasize the learning of traditional "kata" (ancient pre-arranged sequence of movements utilizing all of the techniques and stances) often called the "Art" in Martial Arts. Kata is the mark of any traditional karate school.
