United Kingdom Shorinji Kempo Federation (London West)

The United Kingdom Shorinji Kempo Federation (UKSKF) is a martial arts club located in London West that offers training for the mind, body, and self-defence. With over 40 years of experience, Shorinji Kempo has become well-established in the UK, boasting a network of various clubs and a wealth of instructor knowledge.

As the only organisation in the UK that is a member of the World Shorinji Kempo Organisation (WSKO), the UKSKF practises Shorinji Kempo as developed by Doshin So and administered by the World Shorinji Kempo Federation in Tadotsu, Japan. With WSKO federations active in over 36 countries worldwide, the syllabus and class structure remain consistent and standardised across all locations.

Shorinji Kempo is an ideal martial art for beginners due to its carefully structured technical syllabus and the welcoming nature of its students (Kenshi) and instructors. However, the UKSKF also welcomes seasoned martial artists who appreciate the technical aspects of the art and its philosophical teachings.

No matter your goals in martial arts training, the UKSKF has something to offer. Whether you are looking to develop self-defence skills, improve physical fitness, or explore the philosophical aspects of martial arts, the UKSKF provides a supportive and inclusive environment.
