Shin-Ga-Do (The
Way To Ones True Self) was founded in 1994 by Master Mark Kemp, Sensei
Bob Sims, Sensei Martin Allen and Sensei Mick Brown.
The Shin-Ga-do
Association was formed from the desire to eliminate the politics from
martial arts, therefore the association's politics are, that we have no
politics!
We believe in training with
anybody who wishes to invite us to their Dojo and offer the same open
welcome to all other clubs regardless of style. If we are asked we will
do our best to attend any course, any style and try to be an open-minded
association. Our
instructors visit the clubs in the association on a regular basis to
continue the promotion of this philosophy.
Shin-Ga-do
began with four clubs in England and now is a multi-style Association
with clubs all over the UK and has links to different styles of martial
arts around the world. We practice both traditional and modern martial
arts with
fully qualified instructors, ranging from 10th Dan down
to 1st Dan in Karate, Ju-Jitsu, Gung Fu, Aikido, and many other styles.
We may not be a
large association but we are a large family.
