About our group training sessions:
We meet at a park on the weekends, and are casual. It can be a nice way to make new
friends/acquaintances and learn how to defend yourself and also learn a
classical art that has been handed down for generations.
If the coach/instructor and student(s) are both enjoying the
training, the training environment is much more productive. If you the art appeals to you, talk to the senior students of the dojo to
find out more about the training and expectations etc.

What advice would you give a visitor or beginning student?
Find
the right fit for your training... if the coach/instructor and
student(s) are both enjoying the training, the training environment is
much more productive. If you find the art appeals to you, talk to the senior students of the dojo

In March of 2016, Shinkikan Dojo hosted a seminar taught by Vince Stallone. Mr. Stallone began training in Okinawan Kempo in 1980. In 1992, he moved from Pennsylvania to Missouri in order to train directly under Taika Oyata on a long-term basis. Mr. Stallone was initiated into the original Oyata Shin Shu Ho group, and was later awarded the rank of Rokudan (6th degree black belt) from Oyata Sensei. He operated the Okishinkan Dojo in Missouri. In 2010, Vince Stallone was promoted to Nanadan (7th degree black belt) in Ryukyu Kempo.

Steve Stark October 2013 seminar
In October of 2013, Shinkikan Dojo hosted a seminar taught by Steve Stark. Mr. Stark is one of Oyata Seiyu's most senior direct students. He began training in Oyata Sensei's art in 1969/1970, and became a personal student of Mr. Oyata in 1977. His fascinating story of traveling to Okinawa to find Mr. Oyata, and training with him back in Kansas, can be read in his book "Quest: The Ancient Way, My Life Experiences with Taika Oyata". It's an entertaining, informative read and is highly recommended to all serious students of Oyata Sensei's art (as well as practitioners of Okinawan Karate in general). Mr. Stark is still actively training and teaching.
Mr. Stark's book can be purchased through Ryu-Te Supplies: http://ryu-te-supplies.com/
