South Wimbledon Shorinji Kempo Dojo
Martial Arts London

Self defence
Based on the use of physical principles and weak points 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.

Philosophy
The teachings of Shorinji Kempo are underpinned by a practical philosophy called Kongo Zen that aims to improve individuals through developing leadership skills, mutual cooperation and confidence.

Techniques
Our techniques focus on the balance between ‘hard’ strikes (kicks, punches and blocks) and ‘soft’ grappling (eludes, locks, throws and pins).
Teachings also include a therapeutic acupressure massage system (seiho), and seated meditation (zazen) is practiced during every class.
