Welcome to Angel Shorinji Kempo, a juniors branch of the British Shorinji Kempo Federation.

Our branch's first training took place on Saturday 27 October 2007, at the instigation of two students of the then head of the British Shorinji Kempo Federation, Mizuno Sensei. Since then it has grown steadily and now counts nearly 20 children, with an almost equal proportion of boys and girls.

Training Times:

Saturdays : 11:00am - 12:00pm

Wednesdays : Cancelled until further notice.

The aims & objectives of Shorinji Kempo

Since its foundation, Shorinji Kempo has developed as a form of education rather than just martial combat. The training of Shorinji Kempo aims to develop the potential of the individual and create a balanced human being, both physically and mentally.                                                                                                           Its intentions are to instil the student with the confidence to stand up for their ideals and the ability to defend their position. In this way they can help other people and thereby benefit society as a whole.

The essence of Shorinji Kempo practice is the development of a healthy mind, healthy body and the ability in self defence.

Shorinji Kempo places no emphasis on winning or losing. Instead, it concentrates on mutual respect and understanding between training  companions so that both parties enjoy the benefits of training and progress on the basis of mutual development. In this respect it is totally unlike sports or other martial arts.
