Shindenkan – who are we?
Shindenkan is one of Scandinavia's and Denmark's oldest living and major martial arts organizations with a history in Denmark dating back to 1965/67, where more than 50,000 have trained throughout the almost 60 years that have passed.
At the same time, Shindenkan is a national and international martial arts organization with recognition both from DGI as a competence organization and the fact that we train a system that is recognized at the very highest level in Japan - decorated by the Japanese government - namely the multi-track Martial Arts System Yakami Shinsei-ryu Taijutsu & Karate-do .
We have a long history in Denmark and the goal for us at Shindenkan is always to be of benefit, especially to our members but also to the community around us! Because all people need that cool energy and to be taken seriously and along on a journey that will develop us together, and to be met where they are and to be taken along by us who passionately want to make a difference.
Why choose Shindenkan?

When you enter a Shindenkan Dojo (training hall), you will always be welcomed by well-prepared and skilled instructors, with very high competences in traditional multi-track martial arts who will use all their abilities to create a fantastic training community built around the unique martial arts system of Yakami Shinsei-ryu Taijutsu & Karate-do through a 100 % structured curriculum manual and always with mutual respect and acceptance.

Our concepts have been developed and make room for everyone in our schools:
Our Family concept
Family concept - The Jokokan Karate schools run 100 % according to Shindenkan successful family concept, where children, teenagers and parents can train on the same team, which very few other sports and associations can offer!
There is room for everyone, and we are very proud of that 
Shindenkan recognized more than 30 years ago that there was a need for special supportive concepts for children and young people, to promote healthy self-confidence, self-esteem, mutual respect and acceptance of each other.
In collaboration with municipalities, psychologists, educators and our own extensive teaching experience, the very successful JokoKidz and JokoTeens concept was launched, developed and tested in various municipalities. The concept has been continuously updated with the latest new knowledge. The concept was expanded with Asperger and autism concepts.
Later stress concepts for everyone. We have also added a family concept developed for the modern needs of a busy and hectic everyday life. The concepts are very successful and over the years have been shared with many other sports organisations, federations and municipalities for the common joy and development of our children and young people.
We are really happy about that!
Our Katsu-Jin concept
Katsu-Jin - If you are over 50 and still want to train for life, you are welcome with us, because in the eyes of Shindenkan you are a role model. Life is what you make of it, and with us the glass is always half full! – Instead of half empty.
In Shindenkan, we take into account all the different phases of life, including the fact that we all get older. In order to contribute and support public health and quality of life, we encourage all our members to train throughout their lives.
Statistically many people over 50 say they are too old for martial arts. We say that today age is just a number, and your attitude to life is what matters.
We have therefore developed a concept that directly supports this - in all phases of life. Your age is taken into account, and you are supported in the fact that you can do much more than you and others tell you! Our Katsu-Jin concept has proven its success, and that is why we now have active, healthy and happy Yakami Shinsei-ryu practitioners in their 70s.
Those Katsu-Jin who achieve the brown or black belt are celebrated and recognized visibly, as hero or heroine during the major national joint events.
