It is our Dojo belief that good quality martial arts is based upon pure skill achieved through a deep understanding of
principles, combined with many hours of hard work and practise in the Dojo, or place of training.
We also believe that True Karate should be taught within the parameters of people having good etiquette,courtesy
and manners. As taught and passed on correctly Okinawan Karate not only produces good all round Martial artists,
but also produces good nice people too.

Glyn Jones accepts that the ways of training and methods used at his Dojo are not for everyone, and he doesn't expect them to be. The attitude and atmosphere within his
Dojo is one of seriousness and hard work, whilst being accompanied by a friendly and approachable manner.
As the assigned England Shibu Cho, Glyn Jones Sensei was certified to 5th Dan in Okinawa by his teacher Shigetoshi Senaha Sensei 9th Dan. Of which Glyn honestly &
openly wishes to push and pass on the teachings of his teacher in Okinawan. As passed on to him by his teacher Meitoku Yagi Sensei, and before him in the founder of
Goju Ryu, Chojun Miyagi Sensei. Therefore he does not lower standards or compromise teachings to attract new students in to his Dojo, quite the opposite in fact. All
students though are individuals and treated as such and work within their own capabilities.
Perspective new students must be at least 16 years of age and are accepted within the Dojo by Glyn Jones on a trial basis. As was always the traditional way, Glyn Jones
Sensei chooses who he wishes to teach the Art of Okinawan Karate to.
Anyone who does wish to be apart of our Dojo is to attend training sessions regularly, be hard working, dedicated, courteous, & sincere. This in reality is all we ask.

The Shinken Dojo is an Okinawan Karate Dojo that is based in the West Midlands area of England, U.K. It was formed
by Glyn Jones Sensei with the intention of creating a place of training that would genuinely reflect the more authentic, or
original ways of practising and studying Okinawan Karate. The basis of training is in Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate,
incorporating Okinawan Kobu Jutsu. Backed up by Glyn's deep understanding of old style Judo & Ju Jutsu, as taught to
him by his father as a youngster. Thus Incorporating a variety of practises and training methods together with highly
effective in fighting training drills. Karate he feels is an Art so often neglected, watered down, or at times totally
misunderstood or very poorly represented in the West.
Our's is a Private Dojo, not a public open one, where by those joining is usually through invitation of an existing member
or through a respectful request to the Dojo Sensei. Where by our members work hard and pull together both through the
good times and the bad, both with respect and honesty, just in the same way that many good close families do too.
Members just chip in a little to keep the Dojo going. We are not about money as we have no interest in financial gain,
large classes, sporty competitions, fancy offers or frills. We therefore focus solely on studying the ways of Okinawan
Karate as passed on to us by teachers both past and present in Okinawa. Then we work on these aspects to the
highest levels of effectiveness, with no compromise or outside distractions.
