Teachers
Founded in 2002, our mission has always been to combine tradition and innovation, emphasizing self-discovery rather than competition. We train ourselves on inner-development over solely outward display. At Shinjinkai, each vigorous hour spent training is seen as an opportunity to build confidence, discipline, and both mental and physical strength. Read below about the dynamic persons who have been instrumental in developing our dojo and community.
