Shindo Yoshin Kai students of the Tanabe Dojo, Palma de Mallorca, Spain

The Tanabe Dojo resides in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Jujutsu Sensei Oscar Recio-Coll was awarded a Shoden Mokuroku by the Shindo Yoshin Kai in the spring of 2003. Sensei Recio-Coll had overseen a formal Study Group at the Tanabe Dojo for several years before receiving this license during a visit to the Hombu Dojo. With the awarding of this license the Tanabe Dojo jujutsu students become recipients of full membership within the organization and the only representatives of the Shindo Yoshin Kai currently in Spain. The Shindo Yoshin Kai is excited by the addition of Sensei Recio -Coll and his students to the rosters of the organization Threadgill Sensei makes a yearly visit to the Tanabe Dojo teaching a seminar and assisting the jujutsu students in their pursuit of faithfully honoring the traditions passed down in the Takamura Ryuha.


“The Tanabe Dojo is one of those rare dojo’s where the students from various disciplines train under the same roof, while honoring and respecting their differing perspectives of Nihon budo. This friendly and open environment greatly impressed me on my first visit to the Tanabe Dojo. Groups like this are hard to find and a refreshing reminder of why I continue my dedication to the teaching of traditional budo”

- Sensei Toby Threadgill
