3οΈβ£ Top-Notch Facility
Over 1,300 sq. ft. of clean mat spaceΒ
Our facility is safe for every class, with mats and equipment free of cracks or gaps, and cleaned daily as well as after each use. Beyond maintaining a clean environment, we actively instill good hygiene and safety practices in every session, teaching students to wipe down equipment, sanitize hands, and respect shared spaces. This not only ensures a healthy training environment but also reinforces habits of personal responsibility and care that are essential both on and off the mat.Β
4οΈβ£ Experienced Instructors
All primary instructors are in-house and trained under our program, bringing diverse skill sets to support students of all ages and levels. We encourage students to actively seek knowledge wherever it can be foundβthrough practice, observation, and learning from different perspectives. To broaden their experience, we also recruit special guest instructors from time to time, providing students with exposure to unique teaching styles, advanced techniques, and specialized training opportunities that complement their regular instruction.
Students are encouraged to explore and learn beyond the dojo using our extensive online library and home video training. Exposure to martial arts techniques inspires and motivates students by showing them new skills and training methods.Β
Practicing at home and using online resources like YouTube sparks creativity, inspires motivation, and encourages consistent improvement, fueling both their passion and progress in martial arts.Β
6οΈβ£ Proven Quality
Performing at the top levels of karate since 1995, our students have also made their mark in grappling competitions, consistently producing exceptional martial artists. You can check out our Wall of Fame to see their accomplishments, and over the years weβve received countless letters from former students who have successfully defended themselves in real-life situations. These achievements highlight not only the quality and effectiveness of our training but also the lasting impact martial arts can have on peopleβs lives.Β
7οΈβ£ Deep Lineage
Our system embraces Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do-inspired philosophy: take what is useful, discard what isnβt, tailored to each individualβs body type. Our Okinawan hard-style roots trace back to the 1200s, with torchbearers who were karate legends and pioneers. Our catch wrestling lineage comes from masters like Karl Gotch and Billy Robinson, providing world-class instruction in every aspect of training.
8οΈβ£ Community Driven
At ShinPu-Ren, martial arts is about more than punches and kicks. Over the years, our students have participated in community outreach, fundraisers, food drives, and charitable initiativesβlearning to be leaders, show compassion, and give back. We instill values that help students become successful, responsible leaders in their communities. Check out some our past initiatives Here

Great place to teach kids self-defense, self-discipline, and a sense of honor. My daughter has been with them for 8+ years.

"Anyone that is looking to take defense classes for themselves and family ππΌI personally recommend them , they helped change myself and son's life. They care about their students and families . You become part of their family.π€"

"This dojo is the absolute best anywhere. I know this because my son attends training here and I see the comradery and am part of this family-owned dojo, which consistently takes home more trophies than any other dojo around. The instructors make the students earn their belts. You can't just buy one here. There are a variety of activities, and this dojo really cares about the community with action. This is where you should be."

"I just want to say this place has changed me as an individual, not a day goes by while Iβm home here in Iowa that I donβt think about the dojo...if your serious about reaching any kind of goal, weather it be weight loss, MMA/cage fighting, or just advancing in rank this is the place to go. Iβm forever in debt to this place...they will always be family to me, even from hundreds of miles away."
Marion G.
"Thank you for today....Β our young ladies feel way more empowered! As a mom, I truly appreciate have another voice teach my daughter how to be safe."
