Bristol Shorinji Kempo Dojo

Bristol Shorinji Kempo Dojo Come and try us out to develop a healthy mind, healthy body, and self defence. Shorinji Kempo is a Japanese martial arts style which focuses on self defence.

Physical principles and weak points are used, rather than brute strength, so it is suitable for people of all body types and fitness levels. We believe that working together is vital to help each other improve, and that a healthy mind should be developed along with a healthy body. We train every week in Bristol, United Kingdom. Come along and join us - beginners are always welcome. MONDAY 18:15 – 20:15
Windmill Hill City Farm

FRIDAY 19:00 – 21:00
SATURDAY 10:00 – 12:30
Totterdown Methodist Church
