About Yushinkan Dojo

Yushinkan Dojo is comprised of three distinct martial arts study groups: Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu, Aikido, and Shinkendo (separate location). This dojo is a private training club and membership is only offered for adults ages 18 and up (Aikido and Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu). The Shinkendo Study Group may be more flexible with the age requirement. We are a club. We are not a business. We meet with like minded people to practice together these beautiful arts. All dues and fees go toward having a place to practice. Please contact us to schedule a visit and try a class. All visitations are by appointment only.
