About Seiyu Karate

Shihan Tats Nakamura founded the Vancouver Kyokushin Karate in 1992 after moving to Canada from his native country, Japan. The club has grown from its modest beginnings to become one of the most prominent Karate clubs in Vancouver. In 2017, after having trained in Kyokushin Karate for 34 years, Shihan Tats established his own style named Seiyu Karate. The word represents his own motto: Sei (Faithfulness) and Yu (Courage).
