Also known as
Nippon Shorinji Kempo
Description
Japanese martial art founded in 1947 by So Doshin (Nakano Michiomi), combining strikes, joint locks, throws and pressure points with Zen Buddhist practice. It claims the legacy of the Shaolin Temple; a 1972 court ruling made it change its name to Nippon Shorinji Kempo, and Draeger saw Hakko-ryu jujutsu in its techniques.

“This claim on the Shaolin heritage was one of a number of attempts by the organization to establish a connection that had been brought into question in 1972, when the courts in Japan disproved many of the assertions of Chinese origins, legally requiring So to change the name of the budo to Nippon Shorinji Kempo (Japanese Fist Way of the Shaolin Temple).”
