Kenseikai Shorinji Kempo Baru

Establish a basic
skill level through
illustrated tips.

Basically, you have to learn Shorinji Kempo at a branch where an
official instructor can teach you each techniques. Shorinji Kempo is not
suitable for self learning. Especially, you need your partner to learn

Juho to know how it works and what kind of pain each Juho

causes.

However, it may be worth you practice some techniques by yourself at
home after you have been taught them at the branch. This page may be
helpful for you to remind you of some tips of each techniques. Practice
those techniques as many times as possible, to make these techniques
part of your inherent ability.
Listed below, basic movements and technical words and tips for some
important techniques.
English names given to each techniques may different from the WSKO's
authorized technical term. I put them just for your ease of
understanding. If you find out the difference between the names used in
this page from the WSKO's terminologies, please let me know by email,
thank you.
