About Seidokai-Philadelphia Institute of Martial Arts and Oriental Fitness

Seidokai is an institute (dojo 道場) for the study in and for promotion of traditional martial arts and oriental fitness exercise. Seidokai (正道會) literally means “an organization of people pursing the Right Way.” It is the belief of Seidokai that the Ultimate Reality is experienced through a pure heart, and that martial arts and oriental fitness exercise can be a way of developing a pure heart. Martial arts and fitness exercise are not themselves the Right Way. They are a means to an end, a way to the Right Way (pure heart) that in turn leads to the Ultimate Reality. Seidokai is a place dedicated for the community’s spiritual and bodily wellness and for the preservation and promotion of the traditional way of learning and teaching martial arts and fitness exercise. Seidokai is owned and operated by New Being Christian Foundation.
