The Shinwa Dojo is a branch dojo of the Takamura ha Shindo Yoshin Kai located in London, United Kingdom. It’s dojo-cho is Jonas Fathy, possessing a Shoden Kirigami Mokuroku.  

Jonas joined Takamura ha Shindo Yoshin Kai as a member of the Kurobayashi Dojo in Germany before a career relocation took him to London. Once in London, Jonas consulted longtime TSYR member Graham Farquhar, and together they founded the London TSYR Study Group. In 2018, Fathy Sensei was awarded a Shoden Kirigami Mokuroku. Assisted by Graham Farqhuar, the study group was redesignated an official TSYR Branch Dojo the same year. 

Sadly, after a long fight against illness, Graham Farquar passed away in spring 2019. He remains an inspiration to all of the TSYR membership who knew him. The dojo members under Jonas’s leadership jointly decided to name the dojo in his memory
