"Not invented by me!", "I can and will myself!", "It was the other person's fault!", "Yes, yes, eat some bread now!", I could go on. Human history shows that we are not always equally good at learning from the past or from others, or for that matter – our own mistakes.

Ego, low self-esteem, low and high self-confidence, self-pity (read "One of life's tools - self-pity"), no trust in others and changing emotional moods and lack of focus, responsibility and actions can often "tighten the legs for each other and themselves", an experience and knowledge that does not need to be necessary, if we would all just listen more to our own and others' experiences, experiences and knowledge.

In Shindenkan we do not believe in "Jante law" or that we cannot learn from others or ourselves. We believe that there is room for everyone, the elite as the exerciser, and for a plant to grow, it must both be watered and have its optimal place in the sun, and this is the responsibility and duty of all of us. Both for ourselves, but also for each other.

Many will say it is somewhat "blue-eyed" and naive, but let it be that way!. Without someone taking the lead, taking responsibility and showing the way, no changes and developments will happen. Why Shindenkan? Because we can! and will WANT!.

Welcome to this new unique knowledge-sharing and experience forum, which is quite special, innovative and unique, as it opens up the possibility for everyone to enjoy, benefit from other people's experiences, changes and developments, if you want to; "The future is created by your actions and not what you say or think you will do".

What makes this new blog completely unique is that it is aimed at everyone – from beginner, experienced to assistant instructor, instructor to senior instructor, head instructor to master and master to grandmaster. It is a long time and development line that can be used for one's own personal or common needs - regardless of whether one practices martial arts, martial arts or another sport or activity.

This really underlines the essence of Shindenkan trying to the best of its ability to be true to our value set and open communication policy, so that it is not only for the benefit of our own members, but also for everyone who wants to share in our knowledge , experiences according to the best and purest intentions
