Shorinji Kempo is a comprehensive martial art utilizing punches, strikes, kicks, grabs, escapes, throws, and pressure points to form an effective self-defense art form. The San Francisco Branch has been in existence for more than 30 years in the heart of San Francisco's Japantown. The practice sessions at our dojo emphasize practical self-defense and application of Shorinji Kempo in real world situations. Practice sessions are friendly and non-competitive; all students are encouraged to learn through cooperation and mutual growth.
