Principles
The Seido Plum Blossom
The Seido emblem is the five-petaled blossom of the Japanese plum tree, which
is also the emblem of Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura's family.
There are three fundamental principles underlying Seido Karate: respect, love,
and obedience. These are represented by the three circles within the center of the
plum blossom of the Seido emblem. These principles represent a way, or do, of
being in everyday life.
