Shin Sen means "free person". Another translations is "conscious being" or one who has awakened their inner most abilities and life power (ki).

The Shin Sen Dojo was founded in Sydney, 1981, by Sensei Ken McLean, after intensive research and training in various ki energy arts. He came upon the original stream (ryu) or source of mind and body disciplines and healing arts called ‘Shin Sen Do’ in Japanese.

Sensei Ken McLean has trained in Ki, Aikido and the Aiki Healing Arts for over 30 years. He is asked to present to corporations, tertiary institutions and groups throughout Australia. He is also one of the leading macrobiotic counselors in Australia and is part of the greater, world wide network of Macrobiotic counselors.

All Shin Sen Arts are centred around the unification and development of body, mind and spirit. The principal factor in this process is the cultivation and refinement of ki.
