Our Dojo Philosophy
At Shin Gan Dojo, we are dedicated to transmitting traditional Japanese martial arts exactly as they were handed down to us. Our About Us story is centered on honoring the rich tradition, etiquette, and core principles of Ninpo Taijutsu. Unlike a sports-focused gym, our dojo provides a comprehensive combat art designed for real-world application.
The curriculum at our dojo is rooted in a history that stretches back to the battlefields of ancient Japan. By training with us, you won’t just learn historical techniques; you’ll understand how to apply these skills for practical self-defense in today’s world.
The Shin Gan Dojo Experience
Class content and teaching styles at the dojo are carefully tailored to each age group. We have extensive experience teaching everyone from young children to older adults, accommodating all levels of ability. Sensei Simmons has an innate ability to identify unique learning styles, ensuring every student at our dojo gets the most out of their training.
We believe that true martial arts training builds not only physical capability but also mental fortitude. We invite you to read more about us, visit our facility, and experience a dojo that provides a deep connection to ancient traditions and effective self-defense solutions.
