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.
