Challenges of Seido Karate

There isn't really all that much that I don't like about Seido Karate. Most of the challenges that you face end up making you a better person.

Some things I don't love so much:

1. Gradings (They are pretty scary, but if you pass you get to advance to the next grade)
2. Stripe tests (You have to pass these before grading. Again, scary, but good for you in the long run)
3. Push Ups! (A favorite of all Karate Sensei)
4. Kiba Dachi (Horse riding stance - not so comfortable!)
