Tadashi Nakamura is the founder and chairman of the World Seido Karate
Organization. A world-renowned karateka, Nakamura is a ninth dan(degree) black
belt with over fifty years of experience in practicing and teaching in the martial arts.
An expert in use of oriental weapons, Nakamura has given numerous martial arts
lectures and demonstrations in many countries around the world.
Kaicho Nakamura began his karate training in 1953 at age eleven. His first
experiences were in the Goju style under the instruction of Kei Miyagi Sensei, the
son of the founder of the style. In 1956, Nakamura began studying with Masutatsu
Oyama, the founder of Kyokushin Karate, and in 1959, he earned his shodan rank.
At the time, he was the youngest Kyokushin student in Japan to receive a black belt.
In 1976, Nakamura respectfully withdrew from Kyokushin Karate. The same year,
he established the World Seido Karate Organization, which reflected his own
beliefs about the true meaning of karate. Nakamura created Seido--which means
"sincere way" in Japanese--to develop complete individuals, ones committed to
improving themselves and their communities. With the principles of love, respect,
and obedience as the foundation of Seido Karate, Nakamura ensured that his
students would develop spiritually and morally, as well as physically.
