On 4 September 2014, Jokokan Gentofte Karate School opens at Tjørnegårdsskolen – Brogårdsvej 64, 2820 Gentofte.
It has been a wish for our members in the area for many years, which is now becoming a reality. We hope that this initiative will be well received and welcomed by the municipality's citizens.
Jokokan Gentofte Karate School is a member of the democratic Shindenkan Danmark association with almost 50 years of Danish history and more than 1,000 years of Japanese history behind it.
We train the system Yakami Shinsei-ryu Karate-do, which is a value-based multi-track Karate system with room for everyone, JokoKidz, JokoTeens and adults of all ages - Everyone is welcome.
Yakami Shinsei-ryu is first and foremost value-based self-defense training as good exercise for both body, mind and soul that provides well-being in the form of better flexibility, strength and fitness and builds your self-confidence and self-esteem so that YOU, externally and internally, achieve a fantastic balance.
If you want more than just exercise, Shindenkan offers a multi-track development course with unarmed close and ranged combat, armed close and ranged combat as well as tools to become the leader of your own life.
Yakami Shinsei-ryu is a complete multi-track martial arts system, where most other karate systems usually offer unarmed distance combat and often in a "shaved" sports version.
Jokokan Gentofte Karate School is a family-friendly karate system that offers all citizens of Gentofte a strong martial art with healthy values, a democratic association management and fantastic teaching.

What is it so we can here in Shindenkan. We can offer an approach to a 1000 year old Japanese martial arts system that is adapted to the Western way of thinking and training methodology. The most important thing is that there is room for everyone, regardless of whether you are an exerciser or have ambitions at elite level.
That there really is room for everyone is confirmed by the family aspect, which differs from many other martial arts. With great success, we have fathers and mothers who train together with their children, or whole families who train together - on the same team, but separated so that everyone gets the most out of it.
In this way, the whole family gets something to be together about without the stress and hustle and bustle of mobile phones.
After the 2 weekly training lessons at the school in Gentofte, there is plenty of opportunity to practice at home, where you can once again, as a family, gather around physical development rather than sitting on the sofa in front of the television.
There will also be ample opportunity to participate in national and international joint meetings and course activities through the connected Shindenkan Denmark and Shindenkan Competence and Development Center (Honbu). Both are officially recognized partners since April 1, 2009 by DGI Landsorganisation and DGI Kampidræt.
When you enter training at Jokokan Gentofte Karate School, you will be greeted with a smile and without prejudice, as there is no age limit in Shindenkan. We meet people where people are, and offer learning at all levels, so no matter how far along you are in life and your physical ability, it's never too late to get started. Many start without any prerequisites, some have run and others have practiced other martial arts, but what they have in common is that they slowly build up from their physical level and age.
Should you want to try your hand at martial arts the Shindenkan way, come along to a few free trial lessons at Jokokan Gentofte Karate School. We train on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 20.00 – 21.00 in the gym at Tjørnegårdsskolen – Brogårdsvej 64, 2820 Gentofte.
We look forward to seeing you.
