"CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH"

Our Instructors have had the pleasure of training under Shihan Jonathan Winstral, who has learned the style of Tenshinkan forthrightly from Kancho Miwa in Japan. These stringent teachings of Tenshinkan can be seen through the quality of our instructors, all cut from the same cloth.
