The Pasona Club Event “Discovering Japanese Martial Arts – Shorinji Kempo” co-hosted by Shorinji Kempo Hong Kong Branch was successfully held on Saturday, July 18, 2026. We were honored to have Branch Coach Mr. Jito and Deputy Branch Master Jonathan to join in person and guide participants through an in-depth introduction to Shorinji Kempo.
In the first half of the event, Mr. Jito gave a clear and engaging overview of the history of Shorinji Kempo since its founding in 1947. He also shared its core principles of “Self-Defence, Spiritual Cultivation, and Improved Health,” along with its six key characteristics and dojo etiquette. Following this, Mr. Jito and Jonathan presented a powerful live demonstration of Shorinji Kempo, and also showcased practical self-defense techniques that embody the philosophy of protecting oneself without relying on brute strength. During the final interactive session, participants enthusiastically seized the opportunity to ask Mr. Jito questions in Japanese and exchange ideas in a lively atmosphere.
This event allowed participants not only to enjoy an impressive martial arts performance up close, but also to gain deeper insights into the spirit and practical concepts of Shorinji Kempo. Pasona Education will continue to plan diverse cultural experience activities, enabling everyone to appreciate the charm of Japanese culture while learning language. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future!
