JKFNW History

Japan Karate Do Ryobu-Kai NW is an international organization practicing the style of karate called Shindo Jinen Ryu.

Modern training in Shindo Jinen Ryu karate-do incorporates elements of karate, aikido, jujitsu, and kendo in the formal curriculum, with an emphasis on philosophy and education.
The curriculum also emphasizes Zanshin (the ability of an exponent to gain dominance over an opponent through an alert state of mind) and the maintenance of proper physical posture.

The purpose in Shindo Jinen Ryu karate-do is to develop the whole human being, physically and mentally.
Through long-term, dedicated training, students learns to develop and unite Shin (mind), Gi (technique), and Tai (body) in proper proportions.
The end result is awareness of one’s moral obligations and place in society.

The organization was originally formed in 1920 and has successfully maintained the same high standards of discipline and training upon which Ryobukai was founded.
