Shindenkan - Knowledge sharing
1967-2023 – 56 years anniversary, Denmark & EU
Shindenkan honors Soke Sensei Tonegawa (SST), 34th Grandmaster of Yashin Mon Yakami no Taijutsu in Jokokan International and his many years of work in international budo and bujutsu.
On March 31, 2018, SST made a well-deserved and planned retirement from all organizational leadership positions at the age of 80+. He enjoys his retirement continuing to work in his laboratory with the essence of Budo and Bujutsu.
It is with pride and humility that Shindenkan has received and accepted SST's last decree, that Shindenkan must be an independent Sodenke organization in Europe and now also the rest of the world, representing the martial arts systems of Shindenkan, Yakami Shinsei-ryu Taijutsu and the martial art systems of Kaidenkan, Hassei-ryu Taijutsu.
The Shindenkan organization is led by Budo and Bujutsu Grandmaster Yamana-Itotani Sensei. The Shindenkan consists of two organizations:
We were established in Denmark in 1967. But in Japan we have over 1,000 years of samurai martial art history. You can become part of this story.

The competence courses
The competence level has been built up through 1000 years of development of leaders and martial art grandmasters who have proven their worth on and off the battlefield in the real world under maximum possible pressure - on life and death.
We have chosen to keep it simple, as all member associations train in the same Japanese multi-track martial arts system. The colored texts indicate which belt color you can take the course from, and that is clearly the recommendation. Courses from years 4-5 are typically offered every other year. Courses from year 10 typically every 3-5 years.
So take the course when it is offered and prioritize this. Remember the calendar is determined at least 12+ months at a time.
