Senshinkan (洗心館)
Senshinkan (洗心館), whose name can be translated as "the place (館) where you purify (洗) your heart/mind (心)", is a dojo where we teach Hakko Denshin Ryu Ju Jutsu (八光伝心流柔術), a self-defence system without any violence.

We are honored to train under the supervision of Menkyo Kaiden Shihan Leempoels Eric San Dai Kichu , who serves as the Hombu Dojo's official representative in Romania, upholding the integrity of the lineage.
Our curriculum incorporates both unarmed techniques and training with traditional Japanese weapons and objects such as thetambo, jo, katana, tanto, sensu (fan), kasa (umbrella), walking cane, paper scroll, and many more. These tools symbolize the adaptability and grace inherent in Hakko Denshin Ryu.
At the heart of our practice are the principles of datsuryoku (effortless power) and kuzushi (balance breaking). We use pain as a tool of distraction, blending it seamlessly with techniques that emphasize humility and harmony.
Hakko Ryu Denshin Ryu is a practice that goes beyond the dojo. It is a philosophythat guides decision-making, supports mental well-being, and enriches social interactions. We aim to empower our students, cultivating not just skilled practitioners but confident, humble individuals who embody respectand tradition in all areas of life.
