Perhaps due to Ninomiya's background in Kyokushin, most, if not all, of the Kyokushin striking techniques are found in Enshin. The core emphasis in applying all of these techniques is through the Sabaki Method. However, in contrast to many other karate styles, Enshin also includes sweeps, grabs, throws, and takedowns most often found in judo, Jujutsu, and other grappling styles. The techniques or kihon of Enshin include many of the same or similar kicks, punches, strikes, blocks, and parries found in most other karate styles. Ninomiya's idea for an open, knockdown-rules tournament that promotes the Sabaki method became the Sabaki Challenge that has been held annually in Denver since 1989. The organization has grown and now includes schools in Asia, South America, Europe, Africa, Australia, and the Middle East, as well as in the US. Since 1988, Enshin Karate has continued to be headquartered at Ninomiya's honbu in Denver. Most of the instructors and students of Ashihara in the US decided to follow Ninomiya into his new organization, providing a strong base for the new style Enshin Karate. Therefore, in May, 1988, Ninomiya decided to leave Ashihara Karate and start his own style. He also wanted to develop his own tournament format that would provide what he felt to be a “true” test of karate skills. Over the next eight years, Ashihara Karate slowly increased in size in the US and around the world.ĭuring this time, Ninomiya states that he had developed strategies and ideas of his own that he was eager to implement in his training curriculum. Ninomiya joined Ashihara's organization and directed the US region of Ashihara Karate from Denver. In 1980 Hideyuki Ashihara left the Kyokushin organization and started his own style Ashihara Karate. In 1977 he moved to Denver and opened his own Kyokushin dojo. He stayed on in New York City as an instructor for several years. In 1973 Ninomiya was selected to go train at the Kyokushin dojo in New York City.
Ultimately, he won the 1978 All-Japan and then retired from tournament competition. Ninomiya subsequently competed in the 1972, 1973, and 1976 All-Japan Tournaments and the 1975 All-World Tournament, making it to the later rounds in all of them. When Ninomiya was 17, he was chosen to compete in the 1971 All-Japan Tournament as the youngest competitor. One year later, in 1969, Ninomiya began training in Ashihara's Kyokushin karate dojo. It was there that he met the man who would become his teacher and mentor in karate Hideyuki Ashihara. After turning 14, Ninomiya did extra Judo training at the local police station gym on weekends and holidays. At age 12 Ninomiya began training in a Judo class taught by a teacher at his junior high school.
Joko Ninomiya ( 二宮城光, Ninomiya Joko) was born on January 27, 1954, in Yawatahama City, Ehime Prefecture, Shikoku, Japan. "Shin" signifies that the Enshin students are not adversaries, but members of a mutually supportive family. a process and not an end that is most important.
However, the circle is "open" or "unfinished" to suggest that studying Enshin and Sabaki is a continuous journey, i.e. Meaning of name Įnshin is derived from two Japanese words or kanji: "en," meaning "open or unfinished circle," and, "shin," meaning "heart" or "inner." "En" relates to the circular movement inherent in the Sabaki Method. The organization is noted for its annual tournament, the Sabaki Challenge, a full-contact, no pads/no gloves, knockdown karate rules competition held annually in Denver and open to advanced martial artists from any style or school. Įnshin was founded by Jōkō Ninomiya who directs the Enshin organization from the honbu in Denver, Colorado. Although Enshin is a " stand-up fighting" style that includes kicks, strikes, and punches found in most other styles of karate, it also utilizes numerous grabs, sweeps, and throws often associated with Judo or other grappling styles of martial arts. The core emphasis in Enshin is use of the Sabaki Method, a system of techniques employed with the goal of turning an opponent's power and momentum against him or her and repositioning oneself to the opponent's "blind" spot to counterattack from a more advantageous position.
