Beginners - How Do I Start?

Starting is simple – just give us a call and come along to a class. Click here for opening times and locations.

If you want to come along and watch a session that’s fine, but we encourage people to join in straight away. It’s great to start with someone you know – there’s a lot of pair work involved – but everyone’s welcome.

There’s no upper age limit (12 is the minimum), but Shorinji Kempo is about developing yourself rather than beating your neighbour. We have all ages in our dojo.

After a few classes, if you are enjoying yourself, you can join the World Shorinji Kempo Organization, get yourself some white pyjamas and start work for your first coloured belt!
