About Us
The name Genjikai is taken from the name of a famous samurai family who governed Japan. Sensei Nishida's family heritage is associated with Genji's historical clan. Kai means organization. Genji-kai is said to refer to an association of people who train in the way of karate according to the ideals embodied by the kanji character of Genji. This is the first step to the perfection and harmony of body, mind, heart, and spirit.
Life is precious.
You will always carry your life with you.
In learning to protect yourself, you will cultivate attention, intention and presence.
​
Budo is the martial way. It means to prevent, dissolve or stop a conflict and create peace to learn to overcome fear and stand in your own space. In so doing, wellness and determination will evolve and a readiness and calmness will emerge.
With a long term practice of karate or tai chi, the student will discover something not expected or imagined–a healthy, happy life!
"I'm a retired Clinical Specialist in Psychiatric Nursing and have practiced Tai Chi for 20 years. Classes with Sensei Nishida have been a gift, helping me maintain physical and mental flexibility during these challenging times."
​"I believe we all impact our environment, whether we realize it or not. Tai Chi helps me achieve this intentionality through positive thoughts and movements, supporting my goals."
​
“Sensei Nishida has guided me to a better mind-body interface. While practicing Qi Gong and Tai Chi, I experience inner quiet. Being part of the class inspires me, highlighting the group's strength over the individual. Each session brings small improvements in my Tai Chi postures and a deeper sense of inner peace with Qi Gong. Overall, my balance and sense of well-being have greatly improved.”
"Practicing Tai Chi and Qi Gong with Sensei Nishida helps me maintain my physical and mental well-being, allowing me to embrace who I am. School life can be busy and challenging, but I find serenity every time I practice martial arts at the dojo. Additionally, interacting with others there deepens my spiritual insight. Sharing wisdom at the dojo enhances my positive energy."
