City Kempo

City Shorinji Kempo in Clerkenwell, London offers traditional Japanese martial arts focused on practical self-defence, fitness, and personal growth. Training includes strikes, blocks, joint locks, throws, and releases—effective against larger opponents by using physics and pressure points. Classes also feature circuits, padwork, meditation, and philosophy to build both physical and mental strength while fostering respect and cooperation. Open to all adults (18+) and fitness levels, sessions run Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6–8pm at Finsbury Leisure Centre.
