Do you ever pause to know your real self better?

SHORINJI KEMPO works to create opportunities for members to stop and reflect upon themselves. This is very important in today’s fast changing world. We hope our dojo provide such an intellectual oasis.

But, self reflection is not all we encourage.

Because, for all the 168 hours they live each week, SHORINJI KEMPO kenshi only spend four to six hours at their dojo. So we want them to create their own moments of opportunity to examine themselves during the remaining160 hours.

We want them to discover a new self in the serenely invigorating atmosphere of a dojo. During their short time there, we want them to feel growth in exchanges with their fellow kenshi and gain confidence in their ability to change.

The few hours one spends at a dojo only triggers change. But won’t it be wonderful to build on the self-confidence gained there and begin to live life as it should be lived?

SHORINJI KEMPO celebrates the potential of every individual. We know that individual growth makes for a richer life.
