Welcome to Chiswick Kempo Dojo.
At Chiswick Kempo Dojo we practice Shorinji Kempo, a Japanese Budo based on Shao Lin Temple Boxing, which was developed by So Doshin in Japan in the late 1940’s.

At Chiswick Kempo Dojo we aim to achieve the true meaning of Budo - that is to say a discipline that leads to an enhanced unity of mind and body through the practice of fighting techniques which are dynamic, efficient and very practical.
