Are there any good books (in English, or translated to English) about Shorinji Kempo? It seems to be a popular art, but not many books on it. There was a book on ebay called "What is Shorinji Kempo?" a few weeks ago, but it had many bidders, it must be pretty good. Thanks!

There are few materials in print on Doshin So's art of Shorinji Kempo.

His Book is the best I've seen. Unfortunately copies start at about $150usd and only go up from there! Check used book stores that are NOT on the internet. I've found several very collectable titles CHEAP!

Also check with intenet clearing houses like ABE.com and Bookfinder.com for lower cost copies. I found mine at well below market value and think the book is well worth the money. Doshin So was/is truly a genius.

Good Luck
