What is Shorinji Kempo?
Shorinji Kempo is a self-defence art born in Japan.
Shorinji Kempo is a martial art that originated in Kagawa Prefecture in the post-war period. Its founder, Sōdōshin, organised and reorganised the fist techniques he had learnt in China and added his own originality and ingenuity to them.
Although it is a relatively new martial art, it is one of the nine major martial arts of Japan.
It is characterised by two types of techniques: hard techniques, such as thrusting and kicking, and soft techniques, such as throwing and joint techniques, and places emphasis not only on technique but also on mental development.

sports circle/clubs for international students
A student group that promotes interaction among non-students and international students through various projects.
We play a kind of Japanese music called "Edo nagauta" with shamisen, a traditional Japanese musical instrument, and singing. Most members were begginer when they started it. The teachers offer free practice, so very little money is necessary as activity costs. We also have a club room in the Komaba Campus, where students can practice on their own. We are active jointly with the International Christian University (ICU) Nagauta Kenkyukai, and we hold a joint concert every December in which all first-year students also perform. If you are interested in our activities, please visit our SNS!
We are the only jazz combo circle at Tokyo University. Regular jam session is held every Friday night at 6PM〜9PM. Feel free to join us!
It provides information and creates vertical and horizontal links with the aim of making study abroad more accessible to Tokyo University students.
