I don't know much about this style, Shorinji-ryu Renshinkan. It isn't related to Nippon Kempo or Shorinji Kempo, but a completely separate group. I've read into its background a little on their official website (which is in Japanese): it claims to be based on Chinese martial arts that were brought back to Kagoshima, Japan and integrated with karate arouned WWII. Which is odd, because the actual history of Shorinji Kempo is from its founder So Doshin spying in China and studying various Chinese boxing styles and then integrating them with his previous knowledge of traditional Japanese jujutsu to make Shorinji Kempo. Nippon Kempo was a fushion of Kodokan judo and Shito-ryu karate after WWII but with full-contact training using the bougu (training armor). Shorinji Kempo used to have more full contact tournaments in the 1950s and 1960s but stopped due to bad injuries around then. They also use updated bougu for some sparring. With Shorinji-ryu Renshinkan, I am a bit suspect as to their background and other issues. I also do not think it is the overall Shorin or Shorinji line of Okinawan karate.
ALL the techniques they learned and practiced for thousands of hours goes out the window when they have to spar. Smh. If this was a real fight I do not see the martial artist winning in the fight.
I would not call this style (Shorinji-ryu Renshinkan) to be a proper martial art. There are many issues and questions with it, and it is not representative of traditional Japanese martial arts or proper karate.
Esteban Chia Dote Chia Dote El estilo es Shorinji Ryu Karate Do Renshinkan. El árbitro de centro es Soke Iwao Tamotsu, quien hace dos años pasó a otro plano.
Егор Матвеич its a different SPORT with its own rules. Like fencing and point Karate, first point only scores. So you have to be careful on your attack...that’s when your the most vulnerable. The counter attack is always more deadly because you always know where your opponent is; it just takes timing.
