H. E. Davey Sensei established the Sennin Foundation Center for Japanese Cultural Arts in 1981. Since then, we’ve offered instruction in Japanese systems of yoga, healing arts and bodywork, martial arts, and brush calligraphy/ink painting. Our primary focus is Shin-shin-toitsu-do, a unique form of Japanese yoga and meditation, which features distinctive principles of mind and body unification that can strengthen performance in most any activity. Our supplemental and optional classes in Japanese healing arts, martial arts, and fine arts also use these powerful principles that lead to mind and body harmony.
Our dojo, or classical Japanese training hall, is affiliated with various associations in Japan and has ties to the Japanese community in the Bay Area. Our affordable classes are easily understood by the average American, but at the same time, they are not commercialized, Americanized, or watered down. Well-trained and certified teachers offer you expert and authentic instruction in traditional Japanese arts.
You can read about the Sennin Foundation Center at http://www.senninfoundation.com/. And you can learn about Japanese cultural arts in general at Michi Online: http://www.michionline.org/. Both Michi Online and the Sennin Foundation Center are associated with the Sennin Foundation, Inc., a federally tax-exempt, nonprofit corporation devoted to preserving and promoting Japanese arts.
