We follow the established and proven Shorinji Kempo curriculum that is in place in all Shorinji Kempo dojos around the world.
Class begins by reciting the Chinkon Gyo (oath, creed and meditation) and continues to warming up, stretching, and basic movements. Class then moves into technique practice. Technique practice consists of paired practice according to level and abilities. We take natural breaks throughout the practice time.
Shorinji Kempo students have a lot of fun, but through regular practice students will improve in self defense, health and wellbeing. In addition, they build strength, stamina and balance.
Students build confidence, learn self discipline, practice cooperation and improve their social skills. Students benefit from the physical activity and will improve their coordination and motor skills while burning energy.
