The dojo is led by Grandmaster and Founder Joko Ninomiya, a 1978 All-Japan Karate champion who developed Enshin Karate as an offshoot of Kyokushin with his innovative Sabaki footwork method and inclusion of throws. He teaches morning classes himself on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, supported by Vice Grandmaster Koichi Ninomiya and Shihan Jota Ninomiya. The facility includes a pro shop for martial arts gear and equipment.

We're so lucky to have a world-class dojo right here in Denver. My kids are learning discipline, leadership, self-defense, and many more valuable attributes of a well-rounded person, all the while having fun doing it too. I highly recommend.

Recently re-entered Karate and joined this dojo. This is the headquarters of Enshin Karate. The head instructor Kancho Joko Ninomiya is the real deal. He was an All Japan Karate champion and prior to karate did judo. He founded Enshin as an offshoot of Kyokushin based on his Sabaki footwork method and inclusion of throws. Kancho teaches himself MWF AM classes. The other instructors are also excellent. I studied Kyokushin in college and am pleased by the balanced approach of Enshin and it’s lack of some of the brutishness I have encountered in martial arts dojos in the past. A very classy traditional dojo and a privilege to train at. Denver is lucky to play host to the Enshin headquarters.

Absolutely the best school for kids, every one is extremely attentive and nice. The progress that we see with our oldest is truly amazing and our youngest will be joining him soon as well. Thursday 5pm class is great for the beginners. Trust me, you won’t regret it and your kids will love all the fun activities and games. Rex is the best!

I have studied under the founder of the system Enshin karate . I still study the system today I think Grandmaster for coming to Springfield Massachusetts and giving me the award of first degree black belt #46 is the number on the certificate I received and I am greatly thankful to be able to fight in the tournament that he held in 1983 due to unforeseen circumstances everything I had was gone the uniform the respectful belt that was given the certificate in the martial art gear From a Thief but nevertheless I still remember when I received that special ceremonial belt alongside of me Mark Whitley also received his black belt from Concho at the time we still talk about those times that we were able to get real training thank you Master Kudo for introducing us to the style
