Acquire sophisticated practical "self-defense techniques" to build self-confidence and courage and strengthen the "mind"

Kongo Zen Sohonzan Shorinji has about 2,000 temples all over Japan.

Activities and training methods vary from doin to doin, but the things that are important to all doin are the same.

“I want each and every one of you to live a brilliant life.”I have one wish.

 

Doin accepts you no matter how old you are and gives you the joy of learning.
And there is always the presence of teachers and friends.

 

When you stand at the crossroads of a long life, when you have troubles, when you have something happy, whether it is joy or sorrow

A doin is a place where there are friends who treat you with sincerity.

-Characteristics of Tokyo Kinshidoin-
Learn sophisticated practical "self-defense techniques" and cultivate a strong mind and body

The main purpose of Shorinji Kempo is to achieve self-establishment and self-respect.

As for the “gyo for human development,” each temple has its own training methods and activities. Features vary.

We, Tokyo Kinshidoin, have several characteristics.

 

1. "Technical Study Group" for improving self-defense techniques

2. Exchange with other martial arts/martial arts organizations to “deepen mutual understanding”

3. Holding a “Self-Defense Seminar” as part of our contribution to the community ​ ​

 

Through these, you can learn self-defense techniques and strengthen

your body in case of emergency.

 

Develop confidence, courage, and a sense of justice,

I will cultivate compassion as a human being.

 

A truly strong person never resorts to violence.

 

This is because he has self-confidence and a sense of justice.

What you can do, if you have a weak heart, you can't show your "feelings".

 

Through Shorinji Kempo, an excellent form of self-defense, at TokyoKinshidoin

We will promote “contact” with people and the growth of “mind” and “body”.
