Shinsuikan Dojo – USA Martial Arts Training Center

Martial Arts

We offer classes in the martial arts of Aikido, Iaido, and Tae Kwon do/Karate-do.

Karate

Chong Shin Kwan (true spirit school) is a martial arts system that has it roots in both the Korean martial art of Tae Kwon Do and the Japanese martial art of Karate Do.

Aikido

Aikido is a very traditional Japanese martial art that stresses the harmony of mind and body. It is designed to control rather than destroy the opponent.

Iaido

Iai-Tate Do is a blend of traditional Iaido (a martial art which utilizes the Japanese sword) and the more combative sword art known as Tate Do.

Everyone is Welcome

"Shinsuikan Dojo" means school of mind like water. This name was inspired by the essay, “Mind Like Water”, by Takayuki Mikami. “Imagine an intellect as calm, a will as relentless and indomitable and a personality as adaptable as water and you will have envisioned a MIND LIKE WATER.”*

At Shinsuikan (心水館) we work to achieve this state through the dedicated practice of Tae Kwon Do/Karate Do, Iaido, Aikido, Judo and Jujitsu. Our classes always stress a "safety first" philosophy. Martial arts can be a life long endeavor when this principle is the number one concern. We provide comprehensive, practical instruction to a wide range of individuals and organizations.
