少林寺拳法 Shorinji Kempo Headquarters demo in China

[iprimateman]

...these paintings were ancient and showed the true spirit of Shaolin Boxing as it was originally transmitted to Shaolin by Bodhidharma centuries ago. So Doshin then restructured Giwamonken to place greater emphasis on these core principles, or what So Doshin called "key fighting techniques". If you see these paintings you will notice just how much Shorinji Kempo techniques, as well as the flavor of Kempo, if you will, is reflective of those paintings.

[iprimateman]

Shorinji Kempo is based on the Giwamonken (Japanese pronunciation, original Chinese I'm not sure of) style of Shaolin Boxing. So Doshin (Kempo founder) was recognized by Shaolin temple as 21st head master of Giwamonken. So Doshin was taught limited Kendo and Jujutsu in his early teens which may have influenced Shorinji Kempo but I doubt it. So Doshin was instead inspired by paintings at Shaolin temple that depicted Indian Chinese monks practicing wushu. So Doshin was convinced...

Good technique from Grand master Shorinji Kempo

[quanfa88]

Despite its name & history (creator was a Japanese secret agent who learned Chinese Shaolin in Northeastern China), Shorinji Kempo doesn't look much like Chinese Shaolin. It looks like Karate mixed with Aikijujutsu locks, and a few Jujutsu throws added for good measure. Its core Embu drills, stances, & movement appear entirely Japanese. Nothing about its physical techniques resemble Shaolin or any other Chinese system. This is not meant to be negative; just a realistic observation.

技が早く見えるけど、後ろの観客の動きを見れば編集していること­がバレバレ。技はうまいけどね。

[Hirofumi1982]

これって編集か何かで速度上げてますよね？？？

[028135]

個々の技が非常に早く、攻守の切り替えに高段者特有の無駄がない­。技の精確さ、体の切れ、スピード、気合い、どれをとっても素晴­らしい演武だ。

[totokz10]

おもろすぎ！！

[Ade357]

@anghiric - It's difficult to speed up the kenshi performing without speeding upp the audience - this is real speed - with sound effects added by Chinese TV without permission.

I know it's real speed because I've trained with them both - have you?

[Valeriy80]

@Ade357 Yes, me too. But even it's speeded up, I don't are realy because I saw them in work )

[toryu001]

効果音付きか･･････（苦笑）

[Valeriy80]

@touretul Everybody know it already! Nobody says that it's not a fast foward! You are not a founder of it! It was cut from chinese documentary and the hole film under such speed! I don't know why, maybe chinese like it... Anyway these gus don't need it because they do good embu in high speed without montage!

[touretul]

@Valeriy80 I'm sure of it. It was not a sarcastic comment. I just felt to write that.

[mekugi]

It was sped up too....I would like to see the unedited footage.

[Valeriy80]

@mekugi Yes, yes! But not me did it, men. It is from chinese documentary film - the hole film has such speed :)

[ptturner1958]

who added the sound effects,?

[Valeriy80]

@ptturner1958 It was cut from chinese documentary film. I also don't like it but it's funny a little :)

[Valeriy80]

[Valeriy80]

@anghiric It is speeded it up. Cut from chinese documentary - the hole fil under such speed. Ciao, my friend! See you soon :)

[bbugay]

Great Video, but why the effect? It sounds like a chinese kung fu movie.

[Valeriy80]

@bbugay Because it was cut from chinese documentary about martial arts. You know that chinese like to put such efect :)

[kayanokatsumi]

少林寺経験者ですが、これはレベルの高い演武ですね。ブルースリ­ーやジェットリー並み。

[Valeriy80]

@kayanokatsumi Eigo de kudasaimasen ka...

[Ade357]

Dear All

Gassho

The film isn't speeded up, watch the bottom of their robes (hois) and you'll see that they are moving naturally, if you watch it with the Hong Kong chop-sogey sound effects off it seems more natural too.

I've trained with both of these two and they are this fast.
