About Us
Welcome to the Boston Seirenkai Self-Defense Academy!
The Boston Seirenkai Self Defense Academy was started in 2018 by Sensei Adam Greenberg and Sensei Victoria Symkus. Opened originally in Allston the dojo moved to Roxbury and serves the community of Roxbury and the students of nearby Universities and Colleges.
Boston Seirenkai Self-Defense offers self-defense karate classes to the Boston community. All mature teenagers and adults, age 13 and up, are welcome to attend!
Our primary concern is the safety of all those who walk through our door. We emphasize safe practices for physical activity and work to promote a safe inner mind and emotional state. Members try to follow the Code of the Samurai, Code of Bushido, in and out of the dojo. The Codes of Bushido includes: Honor, Justice, Veracity, Courage, Loyalty, Benevolence, Politeness.
Our techniques are intended for self-defense applications and we do not have any competitive sparring or attend any competitions. We instead focus on doing our best to make sure we can remain safe and keep our loved ones safe.
Seirenkai emphasizes use of whole body dynamics to maximize power and effectiveness of our self-defense.We welcome people of all abilities and physical fitness. Everyone has the right to defend themselves, no matter what limitations they may have.
