Description
There are four training methods which foster a balanced mind as you improve upon your technical skills. The skills are based on basic principles of physics and natural body movements. Through a disciplined practice, one acquires three benefits: effective self defense, improved health, and spiritual cultivation.
Because Shorinji Kempo is a non-commercial and non-profit organization, Shorinji Kempo tends be lesser known especially in the U.S., although it is widespread in Europe and Asia. Monthly tuition goes toward the renting of space, supplies, and the running and maintenance of the class. Shorinji Kempo instructors teach strictly on a volunteer basis and do not get paid. Despite the lack of commercialism, it is very impressive to consider that there are currently over a million Shorinji Kempo students and it is practiced in 33 countries worldwide.
