The Shin Ken Kan dojo has been operating in the Fargo Moorhead area since 1984. It was opened as the Hidden Teachings Martial Arts dojo 1984, and still operates under that named publicly. Though, as the dojo continued, it was given a personal name by Taika Seiyu Oyata, which is the Shin Ken Kan dojo; meaning the Hall (school) of Honest and Hard Training. The name given to the dojo reflects the spirit of the martial artists who train at this dojo and sincerity and commitment with which they train.
The Shin Ken Kan dojo is a school dedicated to the study, preservation and most importantly, the advancement of the art of Ryu Te® Renmei Oyata Shin Shu Ho Ryu. Ryu Te® and the family art of Oyata Shin Shu Ho Ryu are in their training and principles, the "old way" of karate. Emphasis is not on sport or competition, but rather on the development of life protection techniques, character development and training the martial artists to be an effective body technician all while adhering to the precepts and principles of the ancient bushi warriors of the Ryukyu Islands. All of which is reflected in the atmosphere of the dojo; with training equipment that would be used by ancient Ryukyu warriors such as the makiwara, chi ishi training stones and weights, as well as more modern equipment like punching and speed bags. All of these items as well as the surroundings of the dojo itself, help the martial artist gain a sense of history as well as developing their bodies physically, mentally and spiritually.
