Enshin Karate is a practical system of empty-handed self-defense based on a strategy of circular movement allowing you to use your opponent's power and momentum against him or her. This strategy, called sabaki, enables its practitioner to convert defense into offense. Enshin stresses the development of flexibility, power, and speed, with emphasis on stretching, conditioning, and technique. Training in Enshin karate builds spiritual awareness, mental alertness, a sense of confidence, and provides resources for meeting the challenges encountered in life.

Enshin karate was developed by Kancho Ninomiya, winner of the 1978 All-Japan Tournament and Director of the Sabaki Challenge. In an effort to bring authentic fighting karate to the United States, Ninomiya established the Sabaki Challenge, which has become this country's premier karate tournament. Because he felt that his training for the All-Japan helped him grow stronger both physically and mentally, Ninomiya wants to offer this opportunity to other young martial artists. Today Kancho Ninomiya is the Master of Enshin Karate and its growing network of schools throughout the United States and the world. He feels a strong personal commitment to maintaining a close organization and offering his logical, practical system of karate to anyone who is interested in what it has to offer.
