Shorinji kempo is a comprehensive martial arts system which includes hard techniques such as punches, kicks and blocks, and soft techniques such as releases, joint reverses, throws and pins.  Shorinji kempo focuses on technique rather than strength to be effective, relying on leverage, balance and a knowledge of the vital points of the body to be effective. The classes are structured to encourage pair work and co-operation. There isn't any board-breaking or full contact sparring, and is therefore suitable for almost everyone.
