The ShoShin Projekt was founded in 2000 in Germany.
It is now a part of the Missing Link Martial Arts Community.

Training, courses, publications and lively exchange: professional in content and form, because martial arts can't just happen "on the side". Traditional in the search for the deeper background of martial arts in sport, self-defence and philosophy.
