Jinsendo Martial Arts

I've studied with sensei in my college years and off and on since then, and it's amazing how much insight he brings in to your martial art education. Even though he is from a traditional background, he is very open minded and encourages more exploration of principles. His knowledge of anatomy and physiology also helps you to practice with lower risk of injury.

Been doing martial arts since my mid 20s trained under 3 different Senseis but this dojo is by far on a whole different level not only was I able to utilize my past experience but Sensei always encouraged me to push myself past my limits

Sensei Shimoji is gifted karate practicioner and also a gifted teacher. Rather than having students copy his movements, he uses his academic background in biomechanics and his deep understanding of the learning process to guide students towards a deeper understanding of how to use their energy efficiently and effectively. He includes discussion of all aspects of karate in his classes, from very practical self defense topics to cleaning up techniques in kihon waza, kata and kunite to more abstract topics such as the mind-body connection and strategy. Although I have studied karate for many years, I find that each of Sensei Shimoji's classes brings fresh insights to my understanding of the art. I highly recommend his classes for students at all levels.

I have recently begun my tutelage in Traditional Karate under Sensei Toru Shimoji, and am extremely satisfied with my experience. It is rare to find an institution where an art form is taught in its fullest essence. It is even rarer to find a teacher who embodies the wisdom, the tradition, the discipline, and the teaching methodology to impart to students. Sensei Shimoji possesses all of that, and more. He is attentive to the needs of his students and never fails to encourage and motivate them to seek their higher selves through his classes.

I am also grateful to Sensei Sasa Panic and other senior Black Belt students who lend constant support to new students and help familiarize us with patience and understanding. If I could give more than 5 stars to Jinsendo Martial Arts, I would. In many ways, what is being taught and presented is priceless and no amount of praise is sufficient to capture my gratitude as a student.

We love our dojo and Sensei! Our son expressed a desire to take karate and we no idea where to go. Someone from our neighborhood suggested Jinsendo and we’ve never looked back. They are professional, fantastic with the kids and it feels like a big loving family! We’ll never go anywhere else!
