By Jokokan Honbu
It is a great pleasure to welcome our new website, which we have been working on for almost a year.
We hope that the 25-30,000 monthly readers worldwide will appreciate it and that you will like it.
Apart from the new updated 90's design for 2008 design, the website has expanded considerably in its knowledge base, so that it can often function as a reference book with everything that is relevant in Jokokan, including Shindenkan, but certainly also for other systems . We have still honored our open communication policy, which is one of our trademarks and part of our value set.
The alert reader will have immediately noticed in the headline that the new organizational name for Jokokan Europe, including Scandinavia and Denmark also appears; Shindenkan.
It is thus that Soke Sensei Tonegawa has honored Yamana-Itotani Sensei and Jokokan Europe, including Scandinavia and Denmark with their own organization and system names, as full members of the Yakami and Jokokan umbrella.
