Our Philosophy at Shin Gan Dojo
At Shin Gan Dojo, we are dedicated to preserving and transmitting the traditional Japanese martial arts as they were handed down to us. Our philosophy centers on honoring the rich tradition, etiquette, and core principles of Ninpo Taijutsu, a comprehensive combat art designed for real-world application, not sport.
Our curriculum for adults 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 effectively apply these skills for practical self-defense in today’s world. We guide you through techniques in a clear, step-by-step process, equipping you with the vital skills needed to protect yourself and manage real-world scenarios.
Class content and teaching style are carefully tailored to each age group. We have extensive experience teaching people from the very young to older adult students, accommodating many levels of ability. Sensei Simmons has an innate ability to identify the unique learning styles of students of any age, ensuring everyone gets the most out of their training.
We believe that true martial arts training builds not only physical capability but also mental fortitude and discipline. Join us to experience a martial art that provides both a deep connection to ancient traditions and truly effective self-defense solutions.
