Original Okinawan Karate

Original Okinawan Karate Iha Dojo in Grand Rapids, MI is an extension of the North American Beikoku Shido-kan Association, led by Hanshi Grand Master Seikichi Iha. With a focus on teaching effective techniques and maintaining a mature attitude, their instructors, who have over 30 years of experience, provide one-on-one instruction to newcomers, ensuring the learning of authentic techniques for true self-defense.

As one of the few schools in the country with an unbroken lineage under Master Seikichi Iha, Original Okinawan Karate Iha Dojo offers a unique opportunity to learn Okinawan karate for those seeking practical self-defense skills rather than tournament success. Their values of friendship and cooperation are at the core of their teachings, emphasizing the necessity of a mature approach to safely practice techniques that are illegal in conventional sport karate styles.
