Our beloved hombu dojo..the Shingikan is being slated for closure and demolition.

Linked here is the petition to save it. Please take the time to sign it and help try to save this bastion to martial training.

Located on the grounds of Kishiwada castle, it was rebuilt in 1962 and been a public dojo for the community.

We are sad to announce that one of our deshi has passed into the infinite.

Malik Carlvin had been a deshi with us for only a couple of years. He was always well liked and eager to learn when he was in class.

His presence will be missed and we wish his family our sincerest condolences during this difficult time.
