Shorinji Kempo (少林寺拳法) is a martial art in New York City that seeks to create harmony between the principles of strength and love. It is an authentic Japanese martial art that embraces its origin and long history in Japan, as well as its influences from traditional Chinese martial arts sects. The disciplined study of our unique hard and soft mixed martial arts techniques gives students the power of self defense, improved physical condition, and a balanced spirit in all areas of life. Our approximately 600 technical variations, practiced through four training methods, were designed so that anyone, regardless of physical stature or muscular strength, will be able to realistically put them to use in difficult real-life situations. These techniques were created by the founder of Shorinji Kempo, Doshin So. Shorinji Kempo was founded in 1947 and is now taught and practiced in over 30 countries.
