Shorinji kempo(少林寺拳法) was invented by Doshin So in 1947, who incorporated the Japanese Zen Buddhism into the fighting style. This form of Kempo literally can be both a religion and a fighting form at the same time much like Shaolin Kung Fu. It could be seen as a combination of Karate, Judo, Aikido built on Kung Fu framework, except that this art has no killing moves in its respect for life. It is a form of Kempo that tries to get its practitioners to move through life doing minimal damage whenever possible. Techniques: The striking and blocking techniques are based mainly on the Northern Shaolin Giwamon Fist, a martial art taught amongst secret societies who went underground after the Boxing Rebellion. He renamed and reorganized these techniques, as well as some from Byakuren ("White Lotus") Fist and other schools, into the Goho teachings of Shorinji Kempo. The remaining fighting techniques consist of grappling techniques, such as escapes, locks, counters, etc., and come from the Chinese martial art of Pashi. |
