Edinburgh Shorinji Kempo, run by Sensei Tameo Mizuno, offers martial artists a focused and practical approach to training in Edinburgh, Scotland. The club teaches Shorinji Kempo, a Japanese martial art that blends 'hard' techniques like strikes and blocks (Goho) with 'soft' techniques like throws and joint locks (Juho). Additionally, students learn Seiho, a form of acupressure to ease muscle tension.
Sensei Mizuno, who brought Shorinji Kempo to the UK in 1974, continues to lead the British Shorinji Kempo Federation. Since then, clubs have opened in Glasgow and Edinburgh, making this discipline accessible beyond the university scene.
Edinburgh Shorinji Kempo offers sessions that cater to people of all ages and backgrounds, promoting not just physical fitness but mental discipline too. The training environment is supportive, prioritising personal growth and self-defence skills.
