Please be aware that Hanshi approves virtual web-based trainings with audio and visual capability for your dojo members only in exceptional cases when meeting in your dojo is not allowed (such as the COVID-19 stay at home orders).
The following guidelines are to be followed for virtual trainings: Shihan or Renshi Dojo leaders must inform Hanshi Masako if you are planning to offer online trainings. You must provide a statement that you are not recording the session. Training is for your dojo members only. Training must not be recorded or made available to any dojo member who could not attend the real-time training. Kata must never be shared online.
Use technology that allows ONLY the host to invite dojo members to virtual trainings (no one can invite themselves to or attend the training). Use technology that does not allow participants to record the session under any circumstances.
Virtual trainings must always be done in the spirit of Doshinkan: Virtual trainings are only to be considered as a bridge to be able to continue with joint trainings in a limited way. Virtual trainings or joint trainings in the Dojo should not replace individual trainings. Virtual trainings in exceptional and justified cases should be used as one way to support members. Continue to use other options such as phone, email, etc. Virtual trainings should be designed to improve the ability of Dojo members to train on their own (e.g. by answering questions regarding Katas).
Kata are the treasure of Doshinkan and should therefore always be protected

KARATEDO DOSHINKAN
H O N B U D O J O T I R O L
WHAT IS KARATEDO Doshinkan?
Karatedo is a martial art that was born from the multicultural addition of the unique defense art of "hands" handed down from the time of the Ryukyu Kingdom in Okinawa.
We are deeply grateful to the legacy of our predecessors who have maintained the tradition of the first-generation system and the orthodox aspirations of Karatedo, and who have risked life and death to study Karatedo.
One of the predecessors, the late Grand Master Toyama Kanken (1888~1966), was a teacher of the late Hanshi 10. Dan Ichikawa Isao (1935~1996), who followed and passed on his teachings.
He was the last Uchi-deshi (private pupil) and successor of Grand Master Toyama Kanken of the Okinawa Seitō Karatedō Shūdōkan and was the founder of Karatedo Doshinkan.
Our classes focus on the basic techniques and Kata left behind by Hanshi 10. Dan Ichikawa Isao and can be practiced alone or in a group. Everyone from children to men and women of all ages can practice according to their stage of development. In Kobudo, we learn techniques through Kata utilizing classical Okinawan weaponry such as
BO, SAI, TONFA, NUNCHAKU, and NICHO-GAMA (KAMA).
Aiming for harmony of mind, technique, and body, we train daily for better health, longer life, self-defense and the perfection of our character.
The late Hanshi 10. Dan Ichikawa Nobuo (1941~2019), who later took over the leadership of Doshinkan in 1996, was able to further improve the skills of the dojo students and further perfect their personalities through his immense efforts and teaching policies that fit today's times.
Martial arts and Karatedo are said to be "the business of service," which means that there are no conflicts of interest. It is said that if you are looking for an advantage in Karate, you are not ready yet. I believe that we should not forget to seek the origin of Budo, which is to be a person with a good heart who respects courtesy and faith.
