Chiswick Shorinji Kempo

**Chiswick Kempo Dojo** practices Shorinji Kempo, a Japanese martial art founded by So Doshin that blends self-defence, fitness, and mental discipline. Training develops practical responses to real attacks, striking and evasion skills, and situational awareness, while also improving strength, agility, stamina, balance, and flexibility. Beyond physical techniques, students cultivate confidence, calmness, and self-control, aiming for unity of mind and body through Budo. The dojo offers a supportive, ego-free environment where hard training builds resilience and inner strength alongside practical martial skills.
