Details: Our Karate is a Nishiyama (more about him below) system of Traditional Karate based on the philosophy of "Jinsendo". This philosophy, developed by chief instructor Sensei Toru Shimoji, is best explained in an examination of the translation of the three Japanese words combined in the name. If you separate the Japanese kanji characters that make up the word Jinsendo, its underlying meaning is brought to light. The first one “jin” (root pronunciation “hito”) is literally translated as person, or human race. "Sen"", the second character implies line, path or projection. The last kanji “do” (root pronunciation “michi") means path, road or “the way of”. Putting them all together, “people line way”, is the literal translation. However, all of the above can be further expressed as, “The way of actualizing human potential”. Jinsendo is the projection of human spirit to continually evolve with others in a like-minded endeavor that adheres to three guiding principles: honor the spirit of free will; rise above confrontational energy; seek cooperation through mutual engagement.
