Shorinji Kempo is a modern Japanese martial art (gendai budo) originating in ancient India and China. Shorinji Kempo moved from India to China with Bodhidhamma, from China to Japan with Doshin So in 1947, then from Japan to the UK with Sensei Mizuno in 1974.
South Wimbledon Shorinji Kempo Dojo is a member of the BSKF and the International Kempo Association (IKA).
The main focus of Shorinji Kempo is self defence. Using physical principles and pressure points (kyusho jitsu) rather than brute strength, Shorinji Kempo is an ideal form of practical self defence, particularly against larger or stronger opponents, making it suitable for both men and women of all fitness levels.
