Seido Karate links
Some of Sensei Tom's favorite martial arts related sites:
- World Seido Karate Organization Honbu (Headquarters), in New York City.
- Howard County Seido Karate, where I train with my sensei, Kyoshi Kate Stewart.

Of course all Seido karate programs are our friends - more, our family! But there are a few where I've had special opportunities to visit and train:
- Thousand Waves Seido Karate, Jun Shihan Nancy Lanoue and Kyoshi Sarah Ludden's wonderful school in Chicago.
- Aichi Seido Karate, Nagoya, Japan. Jun Shihan Toshihide Sawahira and his students welcomed Seido members from all over the world to Nagoya for their tournament in the fall of 2007.
- Kansai Seido, Osaka, Japan, Senpai Toshiyuki Kuwa and his family and wonderful students welcomed me most graciously when I spent spring of 2007 in Japan. Thanks to them I had the unique opportunity to not just train, but to teach karate in Japan.
(I hope to keep adding to this list!)
