Thousand Waves - Adapted Seido Karate Promotion Test

By combining the strengths and resources of our two organizations: the Thousand Waves & the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), we have been able to create a highly successful Adapted Seido Karate (ASK) Program for youth with disabilities.
Since its inception in 2006, hundreds of children have taken part in the classes, learning both physical and verbal self-defense strategies while building strength, self-confidence and having fun. When students complete the requirements to earn their next rank in Seido Karate, they are tested and receive their coveted belts in empowering public ceremonies.
