Jinenkan

TThe Jinenkan was founded by Fumio Manaka (martial name "Unsui") in 1996. A complete martial art, Jinenkan is about distance and timing. It incorporates throws, joint locks, grappling and weapons. It is not a sport with rules like judo or boxing. Jinenkan is about discovering what works and what doesn't; it's about what's real in the martial arts world. Jinenkan also has strong fitness, balance and flexibility components that can be practiced well into your later years.

Training is not limited to dojo training. It involves marksmanship, stealth, psychology, survival skills and more. The more advanced you become, the more the art unfolds.

Its ultimate purpose is to be able to live well as a human being and make the world a better place to live in the process.

Instructors are at least the rank of Sandan (3rd degree) and are certified by the Honbu to teach.

The testing process is strict and everyone, regardless of rank or experience in other organizations, must start at the beginning and work their way up.
