Shin Wa Kan Dojo is the only koryu bujutsu dojo in the Niagara Peninsula that is owned and operated by a woman instructor.
All students are taught the traditional arts in the traditional ways, and receive instruction in Budo, the Way of the Warrior, and how to apply it to life today.
Students who train regularly and embrace Budo training enjoy benefits such as:
PHYSICAL STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY from a great aerobic workout.
INCREASED ABILITY TO FOCUS, concentrate, and block out distractions through breathing exercises and mental discipline.
ABILITY TO "CENTRE" THEMSELVES and stand strong in the face of life's difficulties.
BUILD AN IDENTITY that keeps them strong, so that right life choices are made, cycles of wrong choices are broken, and patience and tolerance are more accessible when dealing with difficult people.
BUILD SELF-CONFIDENCE as self-defense techniques are learned and refined, and physical strength, balance and co-ordination are greatly enhanced.
BUILD SELF-RESPECT as right choices are taken and the student's inner (spiritual and emotional) and outer (physical, relational) self are built up and enhanced, and brought into balance.
INCREASED SELF-ESTEEM as the student sees his/her life coming together, as right choices smooth out difficult areas in his/her life, and a strong identity helps him/her to weather every storm.
INNER PEACE which can only come from inner strength, which comes from a strong identity.
