OUR BEGINNINGS

The Shinjinbukan School was founded by Onaga Yoshimitsu Sensei in Okinawa, Japan to preserve the ancient Ryūkyū martial arts, culture and living traditions.  Since 1996, Mr. Jimmy Mora, a direct student of Onaga Yoshimitsu Sensei, started teaching the Shinjinbukan Karate in the New York City Metropolitan Area through several volunter programs.

In 2007, Mr. Mora formalized his vision of service to the community by establishing the Shinjinbukan Foundation as a 501(c)(3) Not-for-Profit Corporation registered in State of New York, with the approval of the New York State Department of Education. 

Therefore, all activities of the Shinjinbukan New York Shibu Dōjō (Branch School), are conducted under the legal entity of the Shinjinbukan Foundation. 

Currently, all of our community programs are offered at:

250 West 57th Street, Suite 528
between Broadway & 8th Avenue
New York, NY 10107

The Shinjinbukan Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation registered in the State of New York.
The Shinjinbukan New York Branch does not discriminate students because of race, religion, gender, national origin,
sexual orientation, age, disability or marital status.
