Fred Santiago

Kyoshi Freddy Santiago
5th Degree Black Belt

Sensei Freddy Santiago started his karate training with Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura in 1967 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. He reached the rank of brown belt before family obligations required him to return to his homeland of Puerto Rico. In 1981 he returned to New York and started training again with Kaicho at Honbu. He continued his seido training in Staten Island in 1990 under Jun Shihan Ellington. In 1995 he received his 1st degree (shodan) black belt. In 2002, Freddy went to Japan with Sensei Roger to compete in the All Japan Seido Tournament. Over the years he has won first and second places in kumite, all before reaching Sensei level in 2005. Sensei Freddy has been teaching in the Staten Island dojo for the last ten years.

 


 

Lauren Moscowitch

Sensei Lauren Moscowitch
4th Degree Black Belt

Lauren began training in Seido Karate at age 10 in 1994 under the direction of Jun-Shihan Ed Ellington. Seido cultivated in Lauren a deep love for karate and the ancient culture and traditions of Japan. In 2006, she moved to a rural Japanese village on the island of Shikoku called Ainan. There she taught English to school-aged children and practiced Seido with Jun-Shihan Toshi Sawahira. Upon returning to the U.S., Lauren continued her Seido training under Sensei Roger Esposito and helped to teach the Seido Staten Island Children's Program. She is very grateful for all the support and guidance her Seido teachers have given her.
