城道塾 ? 域道塾? something else?

[R Freeman]

Hello all,

My local martial arts superstore has been tasked with replicating some unusual embroidery (shown below; Hopefully the attached image will appear).

Presumably the kanji (is it kanji?) is a copy of a copy of a copy...

Does anyone know what it is supposed to be?

My best guess is 城道塾 or 域道塾, but perhaps it is something else entirely?

All educated guesses gratefully accepted!

regards,

Robert Freeman

I feel it may be the following:(誠道塾）

It's 誠道塾(Seido Juku), a Karate Organization.

Thanks everyone for your help!

誠道塾 it is.

Once I knew what to look for, I found dozens of photos of people with exactly the same embroidery, so it seems to be part of the official uniform.

I'll tell the martial arts superstore to just copy it the way it is and not try to 'fix' it into a regular kanji character.

thanks again,

cheers,

Robert
