Tenshinkai Dojo New Jersey

Authentic Martial Arts Dojo in Bergen County New Jersey

The Dojo is a holy place of spiritual and physical development as well as a home for it’s students. Martial Arts is more than it’s techniques, it is the realization of self. Students and teachers are connected in a respectful and familial manner, a connection that expands across space and time.

The Tenshinkai Honbu-Dojo in Köln  was founded by Luciano Gabriel Morgenstern Shinryu Sensei and is from where we take our name.  The meaning of the Kanji are as follows:

天 – Ten: Heaven

真 – Shin: True

会 – Kai: Meeting, organization

天真, the combination of Ten and Shin has many meanings and stands for example for naturalness, purity, and can also connote “true as the heavens”. 

The name complements the pure principles of true martial arts standing for the never ending way.  And also, for the everlasting work to develop your pure and natural being, not only in the Dojo, but anywhere and anytime.
