The Seikido Martial Arts Federation of Canada was founded by Paul Li Doshu in 1980. Li Doshu was trained by his grandfather in this discipline of Martial Arts beginning as a child, and went on to train in Hong Kong and Japan in subsequent years. Over 25,000 students have trained in Seikido since the school's inception in 1980, and the school has now grown to 300 actively training students, based in several Dojos throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Seikido instructors are highly qualified - many having been schooled since childhood by Li Doshu. Seikido continues to be true to the original intent of Martial Arts - to equip students with self-defense skills while developing both mental and physical strength. Discipline, respect and caring for others are fostered through disciplined training and Dojo etiquette. Curriculum for Lil' Dragons and children programs incorporate games to develop agility, coordination and control. more... See more text
