The different martial arts at SHINDOKAI Dojo

"The world of martial arts is as varied as a meadow with flowers," a Karate teacher once told me.

Shindo offers you a representive section of this diversity:

• Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karatedo
  Though Karatedo means something to a lot of people, most important (as always) are its details:
  In Germany Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karatedo is taught only at the SHINDO Dojo. This rather complex style emphaszies etiquette, effectiveness, and the "Do" in Karate-Do. The teaching implements Kihon (Basics), Kata (Form), Kumite (fighting strategies) also Nage Waza (throwing techniques), Kansetsu Waza (pinning techniques) and Buki Waza (weaponary).
• Koshiki Karatedo
  Koshiki Karatedo is a competition system with supersafe equipment and a special training system including Kata, Kumite Shiai and Bunkai Kumite.
• Aikido
  The slogan "attack is the best defence" makes no sense in Aikido. The essential thing is to use the partner's energie, to divert it and to "uproot" him or her in an elegant way.
  That is unique in Aikido.
• Tai Chi Chuan/ Qi Qong
  The jap. Version of Tai Chi Chuan and recommended by leading doctors, Tai Kyoku Ken is also a martial art. Practising it promotes your health and wellness in daily life.
• Iaido
  The art of drawing the sword - in every situation. Perfect technique combined with the perfect moment. To be now.
• Combat Arnis
  There is often a military source for effective self-defence: Philippine Arnis/Escrima uses machetes, umbrellas, key-chains, ball points etc, apart from Arnis sticks, to fend off the opponent. And yet, even without weapons the fight is not over...
• Children's Budo and Karatedo for Youths
  For Children from seven years of age there is the wunderful opportunity of getting to know the martial arts of Karatedo, Aikido, and Judo in a playful way. Skilfulness, courage, and self-confidence help the children develop themselves.
