The history of our dojo

This page is under construction, but since you're here feel free to take a look.
 Yushinkan Dojo was founded in 1994 by Blaine Feyen Sensei and named by Fumio Toyoda Shihan. Yushinkan means brave heart-mind. The Toyoda Center location on Division near 36th street was purchased on September 11, 2001.
2001-2013
"I first joined the dojo when it was still called the Toyoda Center on Division and 36th. I think the location before that was at Mirandettes Martial Arts in Kentwood. I stepped into the dojo for Aikido because I thought the movements were so beautiful and dynamic. I didn't want to fight. I don't like violence. I just wanted to learn because it looked fun. The dojo at the time had Aikido, Kendo, Shinkendo, and BJJ. I practiced Aikido, Kendo, and some Shinkendo. (to be continued)" -Hung
