Ju Go Ken was derived  from the traditional art of Shorinji Kempo by SK Jee.

The founder of Shorinji Kempo  Doshin So had a vision to create a world filled with strong, compassionate individuals who would add something to society.

SK Jee has taken this philosophy and reworked for the modern world.

Training.

A normal class explores all the elements of Ju Go Ken after a warmup we train the basics of Shorinji techniques. We then train with a partner to find out how these traditional techniques work and explore the principles.

We look back at practical self defence situations: Sometime with weapons and sometimes with empty hands.

We finish off our class with techniques for each different level to understand and progress.

Zazen meditation and Seiho(restorative techniques are also studied)
