Shorinji Kempo is a sophisticated ninja-style martial art blending the best of Chinese Kung Fu with the techniques of the ancient Japanese precursors to Ju Jutsu. Shorinji Kempo uses a balance between the hard techniques of systems such as Karate, the soft techniques of Judo, and joint locking techniques similar to those of Ju Jutsu. A very important aspect of this style is the application of pressure to the vital points of the human body. Zen meditation is practiced in each class to regulate breathing, calm the mind and increase overall awareness. All levels welcome.
