Come and try us out to develop a healthy mind, healthy body, and self defence. Shorinji Kempo is a Japanese martial arts style which focuses on self defence.

Physical principles and weak points are used, rather than brute strength, so it is suitable for people of all body types and fitness levels. We believe that working together is vital to help each other improve, and that a healthy mind should be developed along with a healthy body. We train every week in Bristol, United Kingdom. Come along and join us - beginners are always welcome. MONDAY 18:15 –

Shorinji Kempo is not all about fighting. We also exercise our minds.

Practicing in pairs 🤼 is one of the fundamental aspects of Shorinji Kempo. How can you learn timing ⏰ or aim 🎯 without it? Not to mention reacting to unexpected surprises 😲.

It’s not all about fighting. Meditation calms the mind and increases focus - and a calm, focused mind is a really good thing to have available in a fight.

Wait… I said it wasn’t all about fighting, didn’t I? Um… a calm focused mind is a really good thing to have available all the time!
