Hello Pavel! :wave:

Sorry to disappoint you, but Nippon Kempo is an entirely different art to Shorinji Kempo.

Although there are some similarities in the areas covered (both cover striking, throwing, joint locks etc),and the philosophies are somewhat similar, there are just as many differences. The main differance is that Nippon Kempo is very competition and full-contact oriented, something that most Shorinji kenshi would be pretty uncomfortable with.

You could try searching on google.com for Muneomi Sawayama for more information about Nippon Kempo's founder.

HTH,

Pavel,
If you knew already that Shorinji Kempo and Nippon Kempo are different things, why did you post your question here? :confused:
