Activities

Shorinji Kempo is a martial art that uses techniques involving joint manipulation and body balance to defeat opponents (soft techniques) as well as strikes and kicks (hard techniques) as a form of self-defense. In competitions, we perform "embu," which combines hard and soft techniques, competing on the precision of these skills. During practice, we work toward advancing ranks and train for competitions by practicing embu.
