East London Shorinji Kempo

Join us to learn practical self-defence at our classes in the heart of east London. We aim for a fun, energetic and supportive environment, and everyone is welcome.

Shorinji Kempo (少林寺拳法) is a Japanese martial art, based on the use of physical principles and weak points. It is an effective form of practical self-defence, suitable for all regardless of age or ability. The system of techniques focuses on the balance between 'hard' strikes (kicks and punches) and 'soft' grappling (escapes, locks and throws).
