Techniques  
 
goho imageThere are two main systems in Shorinji Kempo.
The first of these is known as
Goho. The techniques of this system rely on different strikes and blocks to defend oneself. This series of techniques relies on one's ability to block an opponent and follow up with a counter strike in the same action. Shorinji Kempo does not rely on physical strength but speed and agility combined with knowledge of weak points of the body.

The techniques employed in these situations can be either effective escaping techniques or wrist and arm throws along with pins. These two are also combined at more advanced levels so that a throw may be used against a strike.

The central theme of practising Shorinji Kempo is in pairs as this is the only way to grasp all the intricacies of self defence techniques. Furthermore this is an ideal method to develop the mind through mutual interaction.
