Welcome to Seiwakai Karate taught by Daniel Blezio, 4th degree Blackbelt. The International Combat Karate Organization Seiwakai was founded in 1997 by Shihan Ademir da Costa, based on his experience of more than 20 years (at that time) as a Kyokushin Karate practitioner, world-renowned fighter, well-succeeded instructor and one of the most respected members of the Board of Directors who were in charge of the Kyokushinkai Organization in South America.

The name Seiwakai was born in Japan, where Shihan Ademir was assisted by specialists in the Japanese Language in order to make sure that his karate style would be called after a meaningful name, able to express the concept of his own view of Budo Karate.

The kanji "SEI" represents the permanent pursuit of a goal with extreme effort; the kanji "WA" refers to the spiritual harmony between individuals and universe; the kanji "KAI" stands for "organization."

The Combat Karate Seiwakai has kept as essential elements all the traditional foundations and basics created by the late Sosai Mas Oyama, with whom Shihan Da Costa had the privilege to train directly.

The term "combat" was adopted because it reflects a more diverse concept of fighting.

Through the evolutionary vision of an outstanding fighter, the Combat Karate Seiwakai differs from other martial art styles for being more practical and effective; since it prepares its practitioners for all aspects of fighting.
