 Our
martial arts is a blend of styles creating the non-traditional American
Karate System called San Shin Kai Karate. This style was developed by Jan
Wellendorf, a martial arts instructor, author, business manager,
tournament competitor, and 10th degree Black Belt. He began his martial
arts study in 1963. He studied Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Okinawan
Karate. He is the retired president of the Karate International
organization.
Out of his
training grew San Shin Kai Karate. San Shin Kai means the “three power
society”, the three powers of mind, body, and spirit. San Shin Kai is not so
much a style of martial arts as it is a “way” or method that can be used
to enhance any fighting system. The heart of San Shin Kai teaching is belief
that all great techniques contain a balance of mental, physical, and
spiritual forces. Each of these forces has three parts which progress the
technique to higher levels of speed, power, and timing.
Our system is
founded in the traditional styles of Isshinryu Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Judo,
and Jujitsu but is influenced by a wide range of martial arts. |
