Kempo incorporates punching, kicking & blocking techniques with
releases, throwing & pinning techniques to produce a comprehensive and
versatile system of self-defence.
As Shorinji Kempo utilises weak points on the body one does not have to be strong or train for years to make the techniques work. Practical self-defence techniques are taught from the first lesson onwards. |
