Gassho,

We are excited to welcome everyone to Imperial College Shorinji Kempo Society 2022-2023!

Shorinji Kempo is a Japanese martial art which trains both effective self-defence and practical philosophy based on Buddhist principles. We not only do taiso (warm-up) and techniques (kihon and waza), but also meditation (chinkon gyo) to develop ourselves physically and mentally.

Imperial College dojo trains at all levels – we are a small, close-knit, and extremely beginner-friendly society! After trainings, we usually have lunch together at 568. Look out for more from us if you are interested in joining our amazing Kempo community!

Smashing the patriarchy💪
Today’s class!
People who didn’t come really missed out! 🙏

We begin our sessions with taisou (体操 – warm-up). Taisou is important to prepare the body and mind for exercise.

Yesterday’s training session!
It was great seeing everyone and we look forward to next session.

Post-training social!
Thanks to everyone who attended our first in-person session today! Hope to see more of you next week.
