Hello there

I recently came across Shorinji Kempo video clips and was very impressed by it. It seems that the art contains grappling, striking, kicking, etc.

I would love to learn more about it

Where can I look for good info on the web?

Thanks! :)

Hello Kurgan!

I don´t know where you live so try this link www.shorinjikempo.or.jp/wsko/

You can also check out the thread "shorinji kempo website news" on this forum for some great sites.

Where did you find the "Shorinji Kempo video clips" ?

Good luck!

Hello Stefan,

A friend of mine bought a martial arts encyclopedia cd and on it, under the japanese arts, was a few SK video clips.

I will have a look at the link you sent me - thanks

As a Budo Taijutsu practitioner SK looks very interesting as you do grappling and striking - also saw some interesting ukemi

:)

I can recommend the Swedish Federation homepage as another source of info. http://www.shorinji-kempo.org

I might be a little biased when saying so. :)

There was a thread on ukemi on hard floor some time ago in the Aikido see: http://204.95.207.136/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3463

There was also some explanation and pics of Shorinji Kempo ukemi.


Take care.

I'll ask my friend - I remember the video clips were in Apple Quicktime format. When I do I'll post the information for this forum.

This will prove to be very interesting! I posted a question today on the Aikido forum regarding Aikido breakfalls and the slapping of the ground that they do.
