Karateschool Kenshin

Karateschool Kenshin is a Goju-ryu Karate-do school based in Dongen, the Netherlands. It teaches karate as both a physical practice and a path for personal development. The school’s approach emphasizes building fitness, muscle control and breathing skills while also encouraging mental calm, resilience and inner strength. Competition is viewed as a means of supporting development rather than an end in itself.

Kenshin is affiliated with Goju-kai Karate-do Holland, the organization for its karate style, and points visitors to Goju-kai for further information about Goju-ryu. Instruction is led by Mark van Diem, a Renshi and Shihan with a sixth dan in Goju-ryu Karate-do. The school’s website provides information about its instructors, class schedules and fees, dojo etiquette, enrollment and kyu-grade examinations. People interested in training are invited to attend a trial lesson. Through its teaching and practical guidance for prospective and current students, Kenshin presents Karate-do as an ongoing discipline that supports both physical ability and personal growth.
