About Sealy Karate Schools
Founded in 1991, our mission has always been to combine tradition and innovation, emphasizing self defense and self-discovery rather than competition. We pride ourselves on inner-development over solely outward display. At Sealy Karate Schools your time spent training is an opportunity to build confidence, discipline and both mental and physical strength.
