Glasgow University Shorinji Kempo Club - Self Defence based Martial Art

21/09/2024

Wise words from our Bristol dojo!

Self defence does not always need to be punching and kicking an opponent!!! A take down may be more proportionate or effective.

Shorinji Kempo gives you a number of ways to defend yourself and keep you and loved ones safe!

Make your attacker fold themselves into an odd shape while you remain happily balanced. This is the essence of most throwing techniques.

Thank you to everyone who came to the Seminar last weekend!

It was amazing to see so many people take the effort to come up! Training with you was as extremely fun as it was tiring. Hopefully we can have more sessions like this with everyone visiting.

Hope to see you all in Glasgow this weekend for the Winter Seminar! We're looking forward to it!

Happy New Year everyone 🥳

We had a grading last month and a good part of the club got a new belt, so congrats to them! Even had the time for some cheeky bo staff practice (and no one hurt their shin)

Calling ALL martial artists! 🥋🥊🤺

This Halloween, your clubs have been cooking, and on Wednesday the 1st of November we'll be coming together for a Halloween Pub Crawl! 🎃

Starting at Bank Street from 7pm, we'll split off into families and visit some of our favourite pubs around Glasgow, before finishing off the night in Hive! 🕺

Families will be made up of people from different clubs, so plenty opportunity to make some new friends!

If you don't really fancy the crawl, that's fine too! We have Bank Street booked all night so you can still chill and get to know the other clubs. 😎

The theme for the night will be Action and Adventure. 🦸

If you would like to come, please fill out the Google Form through the link below 🔥
