DESCRIPTION
The greatest distinguishing feature of Shorinji Kempo is its use of 'Hokei Kumi Embu' as a means of developing character, delighting in both you and your partner's progress, and as a way to enjoy practice while progressing towards the realization of 'Jita Kyoraku'.

IKKEN TASHO
SHORINJI KEMPO INDIA
“One fist can help many out of danger” is the statement that shakes the very foundation of Buddhism & Zen.
Nevertheless, The founder of Kongo Zen stated this to bring back the essential teachings of Lord Buddha.

OVERVIEW
Kaiso Doshin So was cautious in using protectors,limiting techniques, & teaching students to place theirgoals in participating in competitions. He wanted toavoid the formation of a wild, reckless self-centeredperson who delights only when he has succeeded indefeating others.
RIGHT APPLICATION OF AHIMSA
FREE SPARRING [RANDORI]
In order to make ShorinjiKempo practical as a method of self-defense, there is a need to practice free
Randori in order to master adaptations and combinations of techniques.
SHORINJI KEMPO INDIA
USING PROTECTIVE GEAR
Some people practice Randori using a type of protective equipment. Although the use of such
equipment does contribute to safety, there are a number of disadvantages.
SHORINJI KEMPO INDIA
PROTECTIVE GEAR RESTRICTS
When wearing gloves, one cannot use Ryuo-ken, Ryuka ken, or other techniques which require delicate
and precise movements of the hand. One is thereby reduced to using punches and kicks only.
SHORINJI KEMPO INDIA
BEING IMMUNE TO PAIN
If one is wearing protective equipment, he can be kicked or punched without being injured. This has led to an
increase in the number of students who purposely let themselves be kicked in the chest, hoping to deliver a
blow to their opponent's face during the split-second he is off balance after completing the attack.
SHORINJI KEMPO INDIA
BEING INSENSITIVE
One also finds these who, even though they have been punched and kicked, will try to grab and throw
their opponent.
SHORINJI KEMPO INDIA
LOSS OF INTEREST & APPEAL
By reducing the number and variety of techniques which may be used, the beauty and appeal of practice
is lost and students soon lose their interest.
SHORINJI KEMPO INDIA
SCORE OF POINTS
In the end, Randori becomes a matter of who scored more points or who punched and kicked his partner
more.
SHORINJI KEMPO INDIA
LESS LIKE SHORINJI KEMPO
It becomes less like ShorinjiKempo. These students become obsessed with downing their partner and
somewhere forget that they are practicing Shorinji Kempo to master themselves.

GOHO KUMI EMBU
With Shorinji Kempo, it is absolutely impossible to base ones practice on Randori alone. However, it
should be mentioned that Randori does have its place as an auxiliary method of Goho Kumi Embu.
