Hello to all....I don't know if this topic has been breached before but bear with me....Are there any aikidoka out there who currently train in Shorinji Kempo? What is the general feeling on this board regarding the similarities betweeen the movements (pins/locks/throws?)of the two arts? Would you consider training in one if you did the other?

BTW...I am a student of Aikido in NEw York for the past thirteen years but am definitely not close-minded to the other valuable arts out there. Thanks in advance.:D

Hey John,

Are you located in the NYC area? If so we have one branch there if you are interested in stopping by to watch - we welcome all visitors. We also had a few kenshi who have trained in Aikido. Drop me a line if you want chat further.
