I started out in Tracy's Kenpo among some other styles then we crossed over to Parkers in about 1984 give or take a year. In 1988 i made my last switch to Chinese Kara-Ho Kempo/Kenpo Karate and have been there ever since.

XkempoX and Kroh have both mentioned "Shorinji Kempo"... but I wonder if they mean the same "Shorinji Kempo" as me!

Shorinji Kempo and Shorinjikempo are registered trade marks around the word for the art founded by Doshin So in Tadotsu, Japan. It is administered by the World Shorinji Kempo Organisation in Japan and does not share any lineage with the happy famiies of "American" Kempo/kenpo. It is a competely separate art and I would not normally think to include it in a thread on this sub-forum.

I gather that some schools have been using the phrase "Shorinji Kempo" as the Japanese transation of "Shaolin-su Ch'uan-fa" (quite so) and as the school/style name. The copyright issues mentioned above are important to remember.

At the time when I was studying it in the late 80's, my ex-sensei had told me that the art I was studying derived from Shorinji Kempo and later called his system "Shorinji Aiki Jujitsu". Sorry if I retained the name Shorinji Kempo in regards to trademark issue, and I will change it accordingly.

"Kempo Aiki Jujitsu" or "Shorinji Aiki Jujitsu", depending on whether you're looking at the top of the page, or the body of the text, on that page you linked to .

I sent him an Email a while back asking about his history, but it must have gone astray, as he never replied. The Branch Master of the Shukokai club in Glasgow took some time out to respond, but he was unable to help me with the "Shorinji Kempo" aspect of Miyake Sensei's background.
