Adult Classes

Classes Times:  Monday and Wednesday 7:00 to 9:00 pm

Age 13 and up through Senior citizen can participate in Shorinji Kempo.  The techniques rely on physics and physiology not power.  Many people in Japan enjoy into their seventy's. It is not unusual for those who sart well in their 40's to continue on an earn a black belt.  It takes times and patience. No previous experience in martial arts is required.  The adults’ class emphasis is on self defense, physical exercise, stress reduction, while learning at your own pace.

Self defense - learn how to assess risk and vulnerability rapidly and realistically in different circumstances.  Practicing actual situations with partners to help develop your techniques.  Learn techniques that don't rely on power to diffuse dangerous situations.

Physical Exercise - class begins with stretching to avoid injury and then progresses to basic blocks, kicks and punches at a pace that makes it an aerobic exercise.

Stress reduction - combined with exercise which is an excellent stress reducer is the regular meditation.   This is a time you learn to empty your mind of all problems and fill your body with energizing breath.

Atmoshere is one of promoting personnel growth, self defence and physical health. It is not a competitive atmosphere.  Partners help each other.  Advance student's help newer student's.  We enjoy working together.
