Shôrin Kempô Ryu

The Japanese term Shorin refers to the northern Chinese  Chuan Su and origin of the terms of the local provinces in the common Buddhist term for the so-called hard style.
The term "Kempo" is derived from the Japanese way of reading of two Chinese characters used in China as "Quanfa" or "Chuan - Fa" and are pronounced in Japan than Kenpo. In the country of origin is China's "Quanfa" a previously common term for all martial arts systems. On Okinawa and in Japan, the Chinese Kempo was realized in the years after 1930 replaced by karate in order to conceal the origin of this martial art.
In Shorin Kempo Ryu Kempo, however, describes not only the method of pugilism, but also the holistic and cultural fabric of the union of body and mind.
Shorin-Ryu is characterized by alternating high and too low levels, a natural breathing and straight and circular movements. There is thus a very explosive and yet supple style, quiet techniques are followed by fast, powerful techniques to use with extreme body tension.
