We are a group of Dojos practicing Okinawan Isshinryu Karate. The Joshinkan name was given to Lars Andersen’s dojo in 1996 in Okinawa. Since then it has turned into a small association with Dojos in Denmark, Romania, Kosovo and Germany. There is also a Dojo in the United States which is the Dojo of Lars Andersen’s Sensei - Terry Creamer. This Dojo is also considered a Joshinkan Dojo.
All Dojos in all 5 countries are members of Uechi Sensei’s Isshinyu Okinawa Traditional Karate Association(IOTKA) and the American Okinawan Karate Association(AOKA).
