Mind, Body & Self Defence - Massage

The third major branch of Shorinji Kempo is massage. Physical exercise takes its toll on the body, and the ability to make ourselves and each other feel better is highly useful and fits perfectly with our philosophy. Normally undertaken at the end of a class, or long training session, seiho often involves pairs of kenshi massaging each other, most often on legs, backs and shoulders although there are techniques for the whole body.
